The First Signs of Abuse: Minor Trauma, Major Concern

Description

On April 26 at 6:30pm you have the opportunity to hear from Dr. Thackery, a child abuse pediatrician from Ohio, speak about "sentinel injuries." He will provide strategies to identify and respond to these first signs of child abuse with the goal of preventing recurrent injuries to children.

Sentinel injuries can be our first clues that something isn't right, that a child is being hurt.  If we can intervene when these first, seemingly minor, injuries occur, we can often prevent more serious abusive injuries to a child.

We hope you will join us for this important and educational Community Night of the Robert D Hart, MD Endowed Lectureship Series.

Presented by: Pediatric Resource Center, The University of Illinois College of Medicine and Children's Hospital of Illinois
