About the Event
For nearly 6 years, Mandated Reporters Against Mandated Reporters has been a peer support and organizing space for social workers, social service and mental health workers, and others who are mandated by law to report suspicions of child abuse and neglect to “child protective” services–but who believe this practice does more harm than good.
This new book includes a chapter from our co-founders urging people in helping professions to resist this and all other practices that criminalize families–especially Black families, whom the NYC Administration for Children’s Services investigates at a rate 7 times higher than white families.
