据怀疑和报告虐待儿童滥用或忽视，很少有专业经验。在报告之前和之后，您可能会感受到一系列情绪。阅读遇到这种情况的专业人士的这些报价。反思你如何感受到。

当您怀疑并报告您自己的计划发生的虐待或忽视时，情绪可能更加复杂。你可能怀疑你的一位同事或朋友。您可能是邻居或参加同样的社区活动。您可能担心您将因报告而被判断或社会排除。您可能会因您知道或喜欢的人而感到被迫“覆盖”。您可能还会感到压力以保护您的计划声誉。所有这些情绪都很自然，但你必须记住你保护孩子免受伤害的法律义务。如果儿童受到伤害或有受到伤害的危险，你必须作出报告. Remember, you are in the right. It is not OK for anyone to pressure you not to report a clear suspicion of abuse or neglect. Do not ignore your instincts. A child’s life may depend on it.

It is important that you take care of yourself. You must be at your best to do the important work of caring for children every day. When you feel calm, comfortable, and confident, you are better able to build relationships with families. The same protective factors that help families cope with challenges apply to all of us as adults. Let’s explore each of the protective factors and how they might apply to your own well-being.
