A New Approach to Child Abuse

Chippewa County Department of Human Services (CCDHS) has been selected to implement a new option in assisting families who have been alleged of abusing or neglecting their children.  As opposed to the traditional response of investigating allegations of abuse or neglect, often times with the assistance of law enforcement, CCDHS has completed a training process and is able to respond to some allegations utilizing “Alternative Response”.  This option recognizes not all allegations of abuse or neglect are egregious in nature and there should be options available to counties that address the needs of a family without creating defensiveness or adversity with the family.

Michelle Brown, MSW, APSW is the manager of the Children, Youth and Families Division at Chippewa County Department of Human Services.    Michelle has worked for approximately 20 years in various child welfare forums.
