  • Mandated Reporting Requirements: A Track for Georgia Medical Professionals

    Mandated Reporting Requirements: A Track for Georgia Medical ProfessionalsCertain individuals in Georgia are required by state statutes to report suspected child abuse and neglect. There is a system in place to intervene on behalf of children who may be abused or neglected and to secure their safety. In order for this system to function, however, someone must first identify and refer the children who might be in need of protection. 

    This course was written specifically for medical professionals (like doctors and nurses) in frequent contact with children. Medical professionals will learn about their legal responsibility to report suspected abuse and neglect.

  • Safe Sleep for Georgia Babies

    Keeping children safe is a major priority for every parent, grandparent, child care provider and professional working with parents and children. To support this effort, the First Lady of Georgia, Sandra Deal, as co-chair of the Georgia Children's Cabinet, has launched a safe sleep campaign to educate parents, grandparents, child care providers and others in the community about safe sleep practices for infants. In this course, we will examine ways to promote safe sleep practices for Georgia infants and reduce the risk of sleep-related deaths. https://www.prosolutionstraining.com/store/product/?tProductVersion_id=1086
