CSUN to Host Third Annual Child Abuse Prevention Seminar

The event will be from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Satellite Student Union's Shoshone Room located at the corner of Lassen Street and Zelzah Avenue.

The seminar will include a presentation by Kathleen Van Antwerp, CSUN alumna and author of the book "I Can't Come to School Today. . .My Mom's in Prison and I Don't Have a Ride."

Van Antwerp, a child mental health specialist who teaches at CSUN and Moorpark College, will provide information on how to identify and report child abuse as well as highlight successful interventions she has initiated in her 14 years working with children.

Maria Del Rey, an award-winning international bilingual artist and children's music performer, will perform. Her new releases include Music for Little People's Lullabies of Latin America and A Universe of Song.
