Do you work for a university offering programs in Child Maltreatment?

APSAC is creating an on-line, searchable database of academic programs with a focus on child maltreatment. Like APSAC' s membership, the database is intended to be multidisciplinary, allowing users to search across states, professional schools, departments, and degree types. In order to populate this database, we're asking for your help. Please
complete this survey
for programs where you hold a faculty or administrative position. Students are asked to pass this survey along to a program chair. This is a great opportunity to share information about your program with the thousands of people who visit the APSAC website. Please complete one survey for each program type as well as each credential offered. If you have any questions, please email Bri Stormer.

Help APSAC Translate Research
into Practice
|
|
In order for APSAC to achieve our goal of
strengthening practice through knowledge,
we must ensure that up-to-date, high quality research is reaching the practitioners who need it most. In order to accomplish this, APSAC is assembling cadres of individuals working psychology, social work, medicine, child welfare, and law to write 500-word translational pieces of articles from
The Journal of Child Maltreatment.
These briefs will be designed to provide clear policy and practice implications of the research for people working in different disciplines and may appear in the
APSAC Advisor,
the
APSAC Alert
, on the APSAC website, and in other places as needed. If you are interested in writing some of these translational pieces, contact
Bri Stormer
