Welcome to Our New Education Page

Teachers are often the first to identify child maltreatment.  This section provides definitions, indicators, and resources on child maltreatment to equip teachers with knowledge and support when encountering this difficult issue.  These resources may be also helpful for parents and caregivers.  If you have specific questions or need further resources feel free to contact the Jeannette Prandi Children’s Center at (415) 499-3750 or e-mail DA_PCENTER@co.marin.ca.us.
