This course is appropriate for adult learners who have professional contact with children and individuals with an interest in protecting children in the community. This includes clergy, teachers, youth services workers, family and child therapists, family court personnel, doctors, lawyers, and emergency medical and fire personnel.

The Positive Childhood Alliance of North Carolina reported that in fiscal year 2022-2023, 116,566 children were involved in investigations related to possible abuse and neglect in North Carolina. While this program does not lead to a specific job position, completion would benefit industries that engage with children and families by identifying and mitigating risk factors for child abuse and neglect. Early identification may yield fewer child fatalities due to abuse.
