Children's Memorial Hospital's Annual Child Maltreatment Symposium
Thank you for making our 2010 Symposium a success!
Children's Memorial Hospital's Annual Child Maltreatment Symposium: The Medical Identification and Legal Protection of Physically Abused Children was held on April 10, 2010. Speakers included Dr. Cindy Christian, Brian Holmgren, JD, Melinda Gronen, MA, LCSW, and Dr. Mary Clyde Pierce.
Children's Memorial Hospital would like to thank all of the 2010 speakers and participants for helping make this year's event great! The 2010 brought together professionals from diverse fields including attorneys, social workers, physicians, investigators, nurses and art therapists. Without all of your participation and feedback, our event wouldn't be successful.
About the symposium:
Children's Memorial Hospital's Annual Child Maltreatment Symposium is held every April, during Child Abuse Awareness Month. The event is designed to benefit physicians, social workers, teachers, attorneys, psychologists, nurses, law enforcement, child advocates and others whose profession may involve interaction with child abuse and neglect.
Our hope is that this event will foster multidisciplinary discussions about how to best identify, prevent, and protect children from child maltreatment. If there is a specific topic or speaker you would like to hear, feel free to call the Protective Services Team Coordinator Aaliyah Bannister at 773.880.4322. or send an e-mail. We'd love to hear from you!
