The disciplines of Child Maltreatment and Unintentional Injury Prevention have significant similarities in their audiences, approaches and challenges. This session will provide an overview of the similarities between the two disciplines and showcase examples of successful multi-disciplinary collaborations. It will also present an effective approach to identifying potential partners and building those relationships and help participants develop an action plan with concrete “next steps” that they can take home and use to prevent child maltreatment.
