This curriculum was developed to strengthen recognition, documentation, and multidisciplinary response to suspected child torture. Founded over 34 years ago, the Providence Abuse Intervention Center has served as a regional center of excellence in the medical assessment of child maltreatment. Now operating under Monarch as the Monarch Abuse Intervention Center (MAIC), the program continues its commitment to specialized evaluation, multidisciplinary collaboration, and trauma-informed care for children affected by abuse and neglect. Drawing upon the clinical expertise and established assessment frameworks of the MAIC, the modules translate specialized knowledge into a structured, self-paced Train-the-Trainer format.
The goal is to equip healthcare providers and first responders with practical tools to identify concerning patterns early, respond in a trauma-informed manner, and engage appropriate reporting and coordination pathways. By embedding this education within a scalable learning model, the curriculum supports consistent preparedness across systems.
