BSHS 407 Week 2 Agency Showcase

There are many agencies who strive to protect children from abuse, neglect, and exploitation. By learning about these agencies, we can gain a vast knowledge of the variety of services that are available to our clients so that we can make proper referrals.

Review agencies in your state(s) that focus on assisting children who have experienced abuse or neglect.

Choose two agencies to research and evaluate further, and compare. As part of your research, you may choose to interview an employee of the agencies to obtain necessary information.

• Introduce the agencies and describe their missions.
• Describe the process the agencies use for identifying different types of child abuse and neglect.

• Describe how these agencies may collaborate and work with other child protection agencies to ensure child safety.
