Kempe Summer Institute on Child Protection

Founded by Dr. C. Henry Kempe in 1972, the Kempe Center for the Prevention and

Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect improves the care and well-being of all children

by strengthening families, communities, and the systems that serve them. We fulfill our

mission through research, training and education, service delivery, advocacy and

consultation and technical assistance. We believe abuse and neglect are preventable,

children are resilient, and supportive care can bring health and hope.

Located in Denver, Colorado, The Kempe Center is an interdisciplinary organization of

approximately 130 faculty and staff. We are administratively located in the Department

of Pediatrics of the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Our faculty includes

physicians, psychologists, social workers, lawyers, and counselors.

- Dr. C. Henry Kempe

In 1993, the U.S. Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect declared child abuse and neglect a “national emergency.” More than 20 years later, child abuse and neglect continue to be a serious and prevalent public health problem. In the United States alone, 3 million reports of child abuse and neglect involving more than 6 million children are made each year. Many more go unreported. Without appropriate and timely intervention, research suggests that these children may experience long-term health problems. The Summer Institute is designed to improve knowledge, practice, and policy related to the prevention, identification, and treatment of child abuse and neglect and family violence. Participants will learn the latest approaches in research, clinical services, prevention and administration. Through special events, participants will have an opportunity to network with each other and with faculty. The Summer Institute is designed for the following professionals who have an interest in child abuse and neglect:

Physician, Physician’s Assistant, Advanced Practice Nurse

Allied Health Professional

Social Worker

Behavioral Health Professional

Educator

Researcher

Community Leader

Child Advocate

Public or Private Human Service Administrator

Graduate Student or Post-Doctoral Fellow

Child Abuse and Neglect for the Medical Professional

This course is designed to assist healthcare providers in conducting the initial medical evaluation and manage-ment of suspected child maltreatment victims. The course is appropriate for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and registered nurses. Topics to be addressed include: physical abuse (abusive head trauma, cutaneous injuries, fractures and thoracic trauma), sexual abuse (sex trafficking, acute sexual assault in the pubertal and prepubertal child) and neglect. For each topic there will be an emphasis on recognition and differential diagnosis, recommended workup, and ongoing health promotion. The course will also highlight best practices for professionals who function within a multidisciplinary team, interface with other systems of care (e.g. child welfare or the courts), or have an interest in child abuse prevention.

Child Witnesses to Domestic Violence

This course provides a broad spectrum approach to understanding the effects of exposure to domestic violence on children and youth. It takes a socio-historical and cultural perspective, bringing information from the macro social-historical-cultural to the micro level, i.e., the effect on children and youth in terms of their ability to learn and their psychological adjustment. The course covers materials that would be beneficial to health care providers in identifying signs and symptoms in the behavior of children and youth experiencing violence. Best practices for establishing trauma sensitive service environments, intervening on behalf of child witnesses, and providing prevention education in a health care environment will also be discussed.

Faculty: Barbara Paradiso, PhD; Amber McDonald, LCSW

Child Maltreatment Epidemiology: An Introduction to Methods and Findings for a

Global Public Health Problem

This short course is designed as an introductory overview of the conceptual frameworks, methodologies, and knowledge base of child maltreatment epidemiology. Beginning with a discussion of child maltreatment definitions, conceptual frameworks are presented including victimization risk, perpetrator behavior, legal constructs, child rights, and intervention systems and their related utility. Child maltreatment epidemiology incorporates multiple methods for collecting and analyzing data and the connections between conceptual frameworks and methods are described along with methodological limitations. As part of the discussion of conceptual frameworks and methods, findings from the various studies are presented as illustrations. Findings are then summarized to describe the current national and global knowledge base in the context of the conceptual and methodological frameworks and limitations.

Interpersonal Violence and Health

Interpersonal violence is a major public health issue. Approximately 20% of emergency room visits by women are attributable to interpersonal violence (IPV). This course will introduce students to the topic of interpersonal violence from a health care perspective. The first component of the class will discuss the prevalence of IPV, detail common abusive behaviors, present models of the dynamics of abuse, and review literature on the risk factors for victimization. Students will also consider the health effects and economic impacts of interpersonal violence. The second component of the course will address the healthcare professional’s role in primary prevention, patient screening, assessment of interpersonal violence, patient intervention, medical record documentation and appropriate follow up protocols. The third component of the course will review legal issues and professional standards that are relevant to healthcare professionals and victims of interpersonal violence, including mandatory reporting requirements. During this component, students will also examine the importance of developing culturally appropriate screening and interventional practices in a healthcare setting.

Faculty: Barbara Paradiso, PhD

Parenting and Family Violence

This course examines parenting as it relates to child maltreatment and family violence. It will address effective parenting strategies in general and within the context of child maltreatment and family violence. Participants will learn about the impact of different forms of maltreatment and violence on parenting and, conversely, the impact of parenting on children's experiences of maltreatment and violence. The course will address the role of non-offending parents, the role of culture in drawing the line between harsh parenting and maltreatment, and best practices for foster and adoptive parents. Throughout the course we will consid-er the unique and challenges of both mothers and fathers.

Faculty: Angele Fauchier, PhD; Michelle Howard, MS

The Nature and Scope of Interpersonal Violence

This course addresses interpersonal violence from a sociological perspective, to explore the root causes, prevalence and dynamics of domestic and sexual violence. The course lectures and reading materials examine how ideologies, political economies and social institutions are related to relationship violence, specifically violence committed against women and girls. Participants undertake a close and detailed critique of contemporary American media images and draw analogies to historical perpetration of violence against women such as European witch burning, Chinese foot binding, Indian suttee and female genital mutilation. The intersection of sexism and other forms of oppression, such as racism, classism and heterosexism to interpersonal violence are also discussed.

Faculty: Barbara Paradiso, PhD
