What does child abuse and neglect look like? These are just some of the possible signs a child may exhibit if they are being abused. However, some children do not show any changes in behaviors and may act as if everything is fine. That's why it's important to check in with children you care about. To learn more, go to the Maryland Department of Human Services website.

Suspected abuse or neglect can be reported by calling your local DHS office, which can be found on the Maryland Department of Human Services website (dhs.maryland.gov) or by calling 1-800-91Prevent (1-800-917-7383).

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a blow to the head which causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This can happen due to a car or bike crash, a fall, an assault, or a sports injury. In most cases, there are no lasting symptoms or ill effects from a concussion. During recovery, brain function and blood flow may be slightly changed and therefore it is best not to take part in rigorous activities (e.g., contact sports) that might lead to a second concussion for a few days to a week.

Whether you’re casually having sex, just started dating, or are in a committed relationship, setting and respecting boundaries is essential to any and every relationship. It’s important that partners feel comfortable expressing their wants, goals, fears, and limits, and everyone’s boundaries are honored. That means everyone feels comfortable communicating their needs without fear of what another person will do in response.

If your partner tries to minimize your needs or violates the boundaries you established, then they aren’t showing you the respect and trustworthiness you deserve.
