Family Violence

It's OK to Talk to Your Orthopaedic Surgeon About Family Violence

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons is engaged in a program to heighten the awareness of orthopaedic surgeons about the issues of family violence, the ways to identify abuses and actions that can be taken. Following is a list of national and state resources to assist victims of family violence; the telephone numbers are subject to change. This document also includes Academy initiatives to help orthopaedic surgeons learn more about the issue.

STATE TOLL-FREE CHILD ABUSE REPORTING NUMBERS

Each state designates specific agencies to receive and investigate reports of suspected child abuse and neglect. Typically, this responsibility is carried out by child protective services (CPS) within a Department of Social Services, Department of Human Resources, or Division of Family and Children Services. In some states, police departments also may receive reports of child abuse or neglect.

Many states have an in-state toll-free number for reporting suspected abuse. Both the reporting party and the child who is allegedly being abused must reside in the same state for the following reporting numbers to be valid.

For states not listed, or when the reporting party resides in a different state than the child, please call: Childhelp USA National Child Abuse Hotline 1-800-4-A-CHILD 1-800-422-4453 (option #2).

STATE AGENCIES ON AGING

Designated by the Governor and state legislature, state Agencies on Aging provide leadership and guidance to the agencies and organizations serving the elderly within their state. Serving as advocates for older people, the agencies oversee a complex, statewide service system designed to complement other human service systems. State Agencies on Aging foster the expansion of community-based services and provide policy direction and technical assistance to the Area Agencies on Aging within their states.
