NDAA's 2025 Child Abuse Course

In-Person Course: NDAA's 2025 Child Abuse Course

September 9 - 11, 2025

Columbus, OH

Cases involving children are among the most challenging you will handle in your career. Successful investigation and prosecution of child abuse not only requires a strong network and a collaborative approach, but it demands that investigators, prosecutors, and multi-disciplinary team members be highly skilled and well-trained.   

Join NDAA and our experienced multi-disciplinary faculty in Columbus, OH for our annual two-and one-half day child abuse conference dedicated to strengthening collaboration for successful outcomes in child abuse cases. This training will bring together child abuse prosecutors and multi-disciplinary experts to cover topics related to both the physical and sexual abuse of children.  Attendance is appropriate for all experience levels of prosecutors and is encouraged for multi-disciplinary team members.
