| Description: |
Presenting empirical foundations for the U.S. Advisory Board on Child Abuse and Neglect's national strategy, this work proposes an agenda for critical research and identifies concrete strategies for all those who come in contact with children. |
| Synopsis: |
This volume brings together leading experts on child maltreatment to address its social, cultural, and economic precursors as well as effective prevention and treatment. Focusing on ways to strengthen neighborhoods, to build connections among and within families, and to bolster economic and social supports, architects of the nationwide strategy for preventing child abuse offer practical advice for the development and implementation of programs and policies to prevent harm to children. Aiming toward a future, society?wide safety net in which child protection becomes a part of everyday life, this work proposes an agenda for critical research and identifies concrete strategies for all those whose work brings them in contact with children. This book is ideal for social workers, all mental health professionals working with children, child rights advocates, child welfare administrators, and policy makers. It is also valuable as a primary text or secondary reading for courses dealing with strategies for preventing child abuse and neglect. |
