Thanks to Strengthening Chicago’s Youth for hosting us at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago for our Keeping Children Safe training today. We had a great conversation about ways to protect children across our community, including our partnership with Chicago Park District. When staff at every level of an organization know how to prevent abuse, recognize the signs and take action, abuse is less likely to happen and children who need help will get it. ‪
To report suspected abuse in Illinois, call 1-800-25-ABUSE (1-800-252-2873). If a child is in immediate danger, also call 911.
Outside of Illinois, call 1-800-422-4453.
