    EMSC: PEAK: Child Abuse

    PEAK: Child Abuse is part of the Pediatric Education and Advocacy Kit (PEAK) series from the Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) Innovation & Improvement Center. It equips emergency and EMS clinicians with practical, evidence-based tools to recognize, evaluate, and respond to suspected child maltreatment. The kit includes clinical guidelines, assessment checklists, educational videos, infographics, and resources to support trauma-informed care and mandatory reporting.
