KNOW & TELL® for Healthcare Providers 

KNOW & TELL® is an educational program developed by the Granite State Children’s Alliance (GSCA) and many statewide stakeholders to educate all adults on how to recognize signs of child abuse or neglect and understand how to report suspected maltreatment. Recognition and response to child maltreatment in the healthcare setting can be challenging.

The KNOW & TELL® for Healthcare Providers Education Program consists of 6 modules designed to specifically help those working in healthcare fields to KNOW how to:

  1. recognize the signs of child abuse and neglect,
  2. respond and talk with children and caregivers when maltreatment is suspected, and
  3. to TELL the child protection system what you have observed and what you recommend.

NOTE: Participants MUST be a healthcare provider or affiliated with a healthcare organization. Due to the content in this course, it is NOT for the general public or youth serving organizations (e.g., schools, daycares, afterschool programs, youth volunteers, coaches etc.).

This course is available as an eCourse through our partners at National Criminal Justice Training Center at Fox Valley.

Preventing, recognizing, and responding effectively to child abuse and neglect are top priorities for healthcare professionals.

This course is highly focused on two of these topics – recognition and response. At the conclusion of this learning activity, you will be able to discuss best practices in the recognition, care and treatment of child abuse and neglect in health care settings.

You will be able to:
• Recognize child abuse and neglect in medical settings
• Talk with children and their caregivers about possible maltreatment
• Understand why and how to report suspected abuse and neglect to appropriate agencies
• Participate effectively with multidisciplinary teams that evaluate suspected child abuse and neglect

Participants can earn 5 CME/CNE credits with completion of the course
