Second Annual Bivona Summit on Child Abuse

Our 2010 edition is already in the works, even as we’re still writing out the name tags for our inaugural Summit. Contact us if you would like to be included on our mailing list, and we’ll send you next year’s date and details as soon as they’re available. 

Media contacts

Please contact: Executive Director Mary Whittier at 585-935-7800. You may also reach her by email at: infoatbivonacac [dot] org.

Bivona staff and partners are uniquely qualified to comment on stories regarding child sexual and physical abuse as well as neglect issues. We can provide expert commentary on the physical and emotional effects of abuse, how the law operates, and of course, the role that Bivona plays in local child abuse investigations.

Awareness of child abuse is the first step in putting an end to this silent epidemic, so we encourage your coverage of the issue.
