For our eighth episode, we talk with Dr. Robert Shapiro, Director of the Child Abuse Team at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital's Mayerson Center for Safe and Healthy Children and Executive Director of Joining Forces for Children. The Mayerson Center for Safe and Healthy Children is a premier program that has helped set the national standard for enhancing and strengthening evaluations of child abuse. They conduct state-of-the-art diagnostic, treatment, prevention, and training programs, as well as cutting-edge research in the field of child sexual abuse, child physical abuse, child neglect, and parenting. Joining Forces for Children strives to address and prevent the risks of childhood adversity and work to strengthen families with the skills, knowledge, support, and resources they need to nurture their children’s health and well-being. We hope you enjoy!
