Tips for Teaching Sensitive Topics in Health Science: Child Abuse and Elder Abuse

Presenter: Denise DuBois, Senior Product Manager, Realityworks, Inc., NCHSE Executive Council Member
Students in healthcare and educational fields share an important commonality: all these future workers will become mandated reporters. Unfortunately, researchers have generally found that most mandated reporters have inadequate training on identifying and reporting child abuse and elder abuse. Ensuring mandated reporters are adequately trained is essential in promoting positive outcomes for the people they serve. In this webinar, you’ll get ideas for engaging today’s students in these sensitive topics, including tools for creating realistic simulations and role-play scenarios.
Attendees will:
- Learn how to help students understand the fact that they will become future mandatory reporters.
- Get tips and ideas for teaching students to recognize and report the four common types of child abuse.
- Review interactive tools for teaching abuse topics.
- Discover free resources you can use immediately.
