Description

Abuse, Neglect, and Dependency occurs all around us and knowing the signs/symptoms can help bring it to an end. During this online module, learners will understand what abuse, neglect, and dependency are as well as how/what to report when they see its signs and symptoms. Learners will also get a glimpse of the legal implications of not reporting abuse/neglect/dependency. Lastly, this is a heavy topic and requires extra attention to self-care for providers; learners will become familiar with terms like compassion fatigue, secondary traumatic stress, and burnout. Some strategies to engage in self-care will also be shared.
