Who is involved in the child's care?
The CARE team - the area's
first multidisciplinary child abuse team - was formed in 1979. The team
includes the director of CARE House, case coordinator, medical social worker,
pediatrician, nurse, child psychologist, child protective service manager and
two case workers, detectives from two jurisdictions, two prosecutors and a
victim advocate. The goals of the CARE team are to provide:
-
consultation to child protection,
law enforcement, medical and mental health professionals in the CARE House
referral area;
staff to review complex cases and
agree on a treatment plan for the child and family; and
education to professionals who
encounter child maltreatment.
