- Report writing to indicate child abuse as a mandated reporter
Part 3 – Prevention and Intervention
-
In the final third of our series on child abuse, we will be discussing preventative programs (which lead to greater knowledge and skills regarding sexual safety) and how those programs can work at home, school and in the community, as well as a final overview of mandated child abuse reporting. We’ll review best practices, which involve programs that attempt to affect multiple risk (self-esteem) and protective factors (resilience) at both person- centered (skills training) and environment-centered (school, family) levels. You will be provided with a sample K-12 curriculum and instructional considerations.
