About the webinar:

In recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month, APSAC and the International Society on the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN) will be co-hosting a webinar on Psychological Maltreatment (PM).

PM is a widespread problem that is seriously damaging to people and society, and has been throughout history. It is associated with/embedded in every other form of maltreatment, none of which are likely to be adequately prevented, treated, or corrected unless the PM components are understood and addressed. This webinar will present PM fundamentals, including its nature, forms, impact, and possibilities for intervention. For more information on the topic, you can read APSAC’s Practice Guidelines: The Investigation and Determination of Suspected Psychological Maltreatment of Children and Adolescents
