Our Focus
CHILD MALTREATMENT
Child maltreatment data in Midland County over the past 10-15 years reveals:
- an average of 40 cases involving 100 children annually,
- more than 80% of cases are associated with substance use disorder and mental illness.
- children are between 0 and 5 years old are most vulnerable.
With the generous support of the Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow Foundation, we introduced the SEEK screening protocol to local Health Care providers. It is designed to be integrated into healthcare systems by building upon the good relationships that usually exist between healthcare providers and parents and helping address these problems.
