Sometimes, students need educators to connect them with advocates. Teachers are mandated reporters, duty-bound to act on suspected cases of child abuse and neglect.

In this episode, hear how Child Advocacy Centers can help, in a conversation with Kim Mangiaracino, executive director at Children's Advocacy Centers of Illinois; and Julia Strehlow, Director of Education, Prevention and Policy at Chicago Children's Advocacy Center.

In the second half of this episode, you will meet Molly Uhe-Edmonds, former deputy director of education at Illinois Department of Children and Family Services and now the director of the new Student Care Department at ISBE.
