Warning

An important message to our patients and their caregivers.

We are here for you. Read more

The Child Protection Program (CPP) at Boston Children’s Hospital was established in 1970 by a multidisciplinary team of professionals who shared a commitment to improve the health and well-being of children by addressing the issues of family violence and child maltreatment. The core goal of the CPP since its formation is to ensure that children suspected of being maltreated receive appropriate medical care, psychosocial support, and advocacy to address immediate medical and safety needs.

There are three distinct branches within the Child Protection Program: the Child Protection Team Consult Service, the domestic violence program (AWAKE), and outpatient clinical services.

Our team

The Boston Children’s CPP is composed of board-certified child abuse pediatricians, nurse practitioners, social workers, and a Department of Children and Families-Boston Children’s Hospital nurse liaison. Additionally, the program receives direct consultation from representatives of the Office of General Counsel.
