2013 Webinar #6 DVD: CAPTA Legislation: What Does it Mean for Mothers, Babies, and Clinicians?
The Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act mandates that providers report to the child welfare system any child birth to three years who has been affected by prenatal exposure to an illicit drug or to alcohol. States have had a difficult time implementing this federal legislation, and few physicians, nurses, social workers, and other clinicians understand the law’s implications. This webinar examines the current CAPTA legislation, discusses its implications for clinicians and families, and provides guidelines for implementing the law.
