The video follows three composite cases. Each case will model the role of a professional who discovers a case of abuse, recognizes the complex circumstances that influence it, acknowledges her/his inability to address the complexities, and makes a referral to the multi-disciplinary team. We then see the group in action, consulting on the case and making recommendations.
