New York State recognizes that certain professionals are specially equipped to fulfill the important role of mandated reporter of child abuse or maltreatment. Mandated reporters are required to report suspected child abuse or maltreatment when, in their professional capacity, they are presented with reasonable cause to suspect child abuse or maltreatment. Join Betsy Serapilio for an interactive and engaging professional development session that will clearly define child abuse and maltreatment as well as provide a general understanding of ACES, trauma, and bias. After this two-hour course, all participants will be current in this updated mandatory training.

The law requires every person who has previously undergone this training to undergo the new updated training by April 1, 2025.
