Online Resource: MiPSAC Web Site

A great resource, other than this site (of course), for news and other issues related to child abus is the MiPSAC web site.  MiPSAC (Michigan Professional Society on the Abuse of Children) is a statewide organization that focuses on meeting the needs of professionals engaged in all aspects of services for maltreated children and their families.  The group is committed to the dissemination of state-of the-art practice in all professional disciplines related to child abuse and neglect.  The organization is primarily geared toward physicians, social workers, psychologists and other health care related professionals

There is a great deal of information related to child abuse on the web site.   Specifically, check out the newsletter and the blog.  The blog appears to be updated monthly and features news articles and cases related to child abuse.  The newsletter is published quarterly and features articles written by professionals.  The issues are archived back to 1996 and some provide valuable information related to the science behind some of the typical forms of abuse and neglect practitioners on both sides are used to seeing.  You can sign up on the web site to be notified of new issues in the newsletter.
