Everyone Has a Role (EHR)
Recognizing and Reporting Child Abuse: Because Safety Starts with You
In Kentucky, every adult over the age of 18 is a mandated reporter of suspected child abuse or neglect. But knowing what to look for—and how to respond—can feel overwhelming without the right tools.
That’s why ECHO offers Everyone Has a Role: Child Abuse Recognition & Reporting (EHR), a powerful, no-cost training designed to demystify the reporting process and give adults the confidence to act when it matters most.
What You’ll Learn
This training walks participants through:
- The different forms of child abuse and neglect
- Behavioral and physical signs of abuse
- What to do when you suspect something isn’t right
- How the reporting process works in Kentucky
- What happens after a report is made
- The role of empathy and clear communication
Using real-life case examples and interactive discussions, the program helps participants see how even small concerns can be significant—and why saying something can change a child’s life.
Who It’s For
This training is essential for:
- Parents and caregivers
- Teachers and school staff
- Church and youth group leaders
- Coaches and mentors
- Any adult who interacts with children in a personal or professional setting
Why It Matters
When abuse goes unreported, children suffer in silence. Everyone Has a Role makes it clear: you don’t have to be an expert to protect a child—you just need to be willing to speak up. The training provides the clarity and courage to take that next step with confidence and compassion.
