Considering Yourself a Mandated Supporter:
A Training for Mandated Reporters
This training is designed to help people who work with children and families understand the protective power of connecting families to resources and support.
If we want to make positive impacts on children, we must work to strengthen the context in which children grow: their families.
When families are overloaded with stressors, this interferes with their ability to best care for their children.
When we connect families to needed supports and resources, we are strengthening their ability to keep their children safe.
By doing so, we are preventing child abuse and neglect.
Are You a Mandated Reporter?
Rethinking
What It Means to Protect Children
Being a mandated reporter is vital, but what if you could make a difference before a report is ever needed?
Considering Yourself a Mandated Supporter invites you to expand your role from reporter to supporter, helping families access the resources, relationships, and resilience that keep children safe and thriving.
When you learn to connect families to what they need, you’re not just responding to harm - you’re preventing it!
