Empowering Professionals to
Recognize, Respond, and Report Abuse
The Mid-Atlantic P.A.N.D.A. Coalition provides Mandated Reporter training for healthcare professionals, educators, social service providers, and all Mandated Reporters to help create safer communities through education, awareness, and action.
What is P.A.N.D.A.?
Mid-Atlantic P.A.N.D.A. works to protect children and vulnerable individuals through education, prevention, and early intervention. We equip professionals with the knowledge and confidence to recognize abuse and neglect, respond appropriately, and understand their reporting responsibilities.
Our work also extends to PANDA Pathways, an initiative designed for “at-promise” youth, including those impacted by Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and challenging life circumstances. Pathways helps young people build confidence, develop essential life and career skills, and discover opportunities for a brighter future.
