The Mayerson Center: Working Together to Help the Victims of Abuse
The Mayerson Center for Safe and Healthy Children at Cincinnati Children’s has helped set the national standard for enhancing and strengthening evaluations of child abuse.
Each year, the Child Abuse Team at the Mayerson Center treats more than 2,000 children for whom abuse is suspected – an average of six to seven alleged or suspected abuse cases a day. They collaborate with many community partners in the investigation and treatment of victims from Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
Their comprehensive services include diagnostic and treatment services, mental health therapy, as well as consultation and education for parents, providers, investigators and attorneys.
The Mayerson Center has compiled a list of counseling resources by county as well as some information on normal and abnormal sexual behavior development in children. You can find the printable pdf files here.
