Protecting Children & Supporting Families:
The Ethical Realities of Reporting Suspicions of Child Maltreatment

Mental and Behavioral Health Professionals throughout the United States are mandated reporters  of suspected child maltreatment. However, our legal requirement to report is often confusing to  navigate in relation to our other professional and ethical responsibilities. This workshop is  intended for mental and behavioral health who already have a basic understanding of their  obligations as mandated reporters, and want to explore areas that are complicated by our  professional relationships with clients in light of our legal obligations. Specifically, we will  explore informed consent practices with different client populations, supporting practice with  clients after making a report, and how to work with child protective services, especially in light  of concerns for racial and social justice in the child welfare system.
