Cenpatico/IMHS and Prevent Child Abuse Texas are teaming up to train Child Care and School Personnel on child abuse.  The trainings titled Child Abuse and Neglect: It’s Everyone’s Problem hopes to teach Child Care and School personnel how to recognize child abuse and what to do to put an end to it.

“We are pleased that we could assist PCAT in their work towards prevent child abuse across Texas,” said Cenpatico/IMHS Foster Care Training Manager Frank Vega. “Everyday we see the traumatic impact that abuse has in the lives of the children we serve in the STAR Health program. Anything we can do to keep even one kid from experiencing the pain of abuse and neglect is well worth it.”

The training will take place July 11 at the Austin Community College Eastview Campus. Pre-registration costs $15 and on-site registration costs $20. If you are a Child Care or School worker and would like to know more about the training please contact PCAT at (512) 250-8438 x. 18 or e-mail rscoggin@PreventChildAbuseTexas.org
