Project Title: Child Abuse Prevention Outreach
Project Description:

CMC was formed in 2021 as a result of the community need for a Child Abuse Pediatrician who specializes in working with children who have suffered from child abuse. We currently serve Jackson, Graham, Haywood, Macon, and Swain counties. We are also open to requests from the Eastern Band of Cherokee, as well as other NC counties, states, and the FBI for courtesy services. CMC’s team of providers includes a Supervising Pediatrician, a Physician’s Assistant, a Nurse Practitioner, a Registered Nurse, and a part-time Medical Assistant. The two nurses on staff are also Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners. Our team has specialized training in child abuse and its members are listed on the roster of specialty providers with the Child Medical Evaluation Program at UNC-Chapel Hill.
We are seeking funds to begin educational Child Abuse Prevention Outreach in local schools, beginning with presentations at two area high schools in 2024. These services are intended for parents of children and/or teens. These educational outreach programs will include presentations and lessons on types of abuse, signs of abuse, trauma, prevention, and, most importantly, healing. The reason we plan to target teens is that studies have demonstrated that if young people, especially males, can learn about abuse and violence in their teenage years, they are less likely to harm their own children in the future. CMC plans to begin with a shaken baby presentation that targets teens, especially those who are pregnant or parenting.
