Fever, hypoglycemia and hypoxia come to mind first. There are few drugs as relaxing as a good back rub. Learn to trust your intuition. Fifteen out of every 1,000 US children are victims of child maltreatment. Being battered by a partner is the single most common cause of injury to women.
Abuse is an all too frequent, but often unidentified health issue.
The Chapter has been collaborating with the Violence Prevention Coalition of Orange County to develop and distribute Violence Assessment and Referral Cards. The laminated, pocket-sized cards are to be used as a quick reference for the health care professional. Please include your name, address, phone number, organization and department. The cards will be updated on a regular basis and mailed to those with the original cards.
