The goal of a multidisciplinary team approach to child abuse investigations is to reduce the number of times a child has to disclose their experience. The Warren-Washington CARE Center coordinates the team of partners who are involved in the child abuse investigation process.
Our Partners
The work that is done at the Warren Washington CARE Center is truly a team effort. The members of the multidisciplinary team specialize in child abuse cases and many have made it their life’s work to help child victims of physical and sexual abuse. The MDT works together to reduce the trauma to the victims during the investigation and prosecution processes as well as conduct monthly case reviews to evaluate their strengths and weaknesses in each individual case.
