知道

There are few professional experiences as stressful as suspecting and reporting child abuse or neglect. Before and after the report, you will likely feel a range of emotions. Read these quotes from professionals who have experienced this situation. Reflect on how you might feel.

当您怀疑并报告您自己的计划发生的虐待或忽视时，情绪可能更加复杂。你可能怀疑你的一位同事或朋友。您可能怀疑一个长期以来一直与该计划或有更多权威的人。您可能是邻居或参加同样的社区活动。您可能担心您将因报告而被判断或社会排除。您可能会因您知道或喜欢的人而感到被迫“覆盖”。您可能还会感到压力以保护您的计划声誉。所有这些情绪都很自然，但你必须记住你保护孩子免受伤害的法律义务。如果孩子受到伤害或迫在眉睫的伤害风险，您必须提出报告。记住，你在右边。任何人都不适合压力，你不要报告对虐待或忽视的清楚怀疑。不要忽视你的本能。孩子的生命可能取决于它。

The stress of this type of event is immense. It can feel overwhelming when you add your own very real life stressors— debt, relationships, continuing your education, etc. It is important that you take care of yourself. You must be at your best to do the important work of helping children learn. When you feel calm, comfortable, and confident, you are better able to build relationships with children and families. The same protective factors that help families cope with challenges apply to all of us as adults. Let’s explore each of the protective factors and how they might apply to your work. This material has been adapted from the Preventing Child Maltreatment and Promoting Well-Being: A Network for Action 2013 Resource Guide by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
