Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness
In 2019, there were 2,055 child abuse visits to the Cook Children’s Child Advocacy Resources and Evaluation (CARE) team. We have already seen a spike in child abuse cases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cook Children’s CARE team is actively involved in community education and training in the awareness and prevention of child abuse and neglect.
Led by a pediatrician who is board certified in child abuse medicine, the CARE team provides medical and forensic evaluations for victims of physical abuse, neglect and drug exposure, sexual abuse screening examinations and preventative education for victims of child maltreatment.
