I’m concerned my child might be in danger. Will counseling help to assess my child’s safety?

February 13, 2019 by

Many parents seek out counseling following their separation from the child’s other parent because they are afraid that their child is in danger during visits and time spent with the other parent. If this is the case, counseling is not the appropriate choice. Counseling is focused on helping the child to process their experiences and adjust in a way that is healthy and appropriate for their age and abilities. Counseling is not intended to identify child abuse and neglect.

If the main reason you are seeking counseling for your child is to assess whether your child is in danger or has experienced abuse or neglect, a forensic evaluation is the more appropriate choice. You can learn more about forensic evaluations by contacting Sanford Child’s Voice or by contacting Child Protection Services to report concerns related to abuse and neglect. The number for the Sioux Falls area is 1-877-244-0864.
