Speaker: Lisa Donahue
This program will introduce Heart to Heart Child Advocacy Center, which serves Marion, Harvey, and McPherson counties, and will identify child abuse trends throughout the tri-county service area – including types of abuse, who typically offends, where it happens, and who is most vulnerable. Common signs of abuse will be discussed, and risk and protective factors will be highlighted. Finally, we will discuss Heart to Heart educational programs and outreach efforts to raise awareness, and we will explore ways that community members can get involved to help make a difference.

Special note: Due to construction on campus, parking near the Wohlgemuth will not be available this year. However, we have made arrangements for Lifelong Learning attendees to park in the lot just south of the library. For those who would like, we will also be providing a golf cart shuttle service available from the library parking lot to the WMEC.
