The Child Protection Team (CPT) provides crisis intervention to suspected victims of abuse or violent crimes.

Services include:    

Medical examinations and evaluations

Expert court testimony 

  Children are referred to CPT by the Department of Children and Families which is the agency responsible for answering the Abuse Hotline.

Following the assessment, staff makes a recommendation to the Department of Children and Families and law enforcement (if involved) who determine what happens next.

The CPT Medical Services provide comprehensive medical assessments for children who have suffered some type of abuse or neglect. 

  The goal of the assessment is to detect, diagnose, document and treat any injuries or conditions that may have resulted from suspected abuse or neglect.

Staff is on-call 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.
