Re: child protection teams-clarification

["Walter Fahr" <wfahr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The original child protection teams began under the leadership of Dr. C.
Henry Kempe. The website for the Kempe Center is :

http://www.kempecenter.org/

They  have contacts with some MDTs, particulary those using a medical
model.

The website for the  National Child Advocacy Center is 

http://www.nationalcac.org/

They have a list of all the Child Advocacy Centers which typically
utilize MDTs composed of a minimum of law enforcement, CPS and
prosecutors, as well as mental health, education and medicine.

State and county CPS agencies also utilize MDT teams, such as in our
State of Louisiana. Getting the list of providers would be a more
difficult task that would have to be requested state by state, and in
some locales county by county.

Dear all-
I may not have been completely clear on my question about child
protection teams, so I will try to restate the question.
What I am interested in doing is having members of child protection
teams complete a round of surveys by mail (utilizing the Delphi
technique) in order to establish a consensus on what an ideal child
protection team should be defined as re: their form and function. I need
to identify potential participants and would like to be as broad as
possible so that opinions from multiple disciplines are represented.  I
do not, however, know of a list that exists of contact information for
potential participants.  Does anyone know of a way of accessing this
population of professionals?
Thanks,
Irene Tien
