Create a workshop on child abuse.
Present a workshop on child abuse prevention and recognition to child service professionals in your area.
Your workshop will focus on and include the following areas:
- Definitions and types of child abuse and neglect
- Impact of child abuse on various aspects of human development.
- Who commits child abuse and why? (Include any known gender or socioeconomic factors.)
- What are the responsibilities for reporting child abuse in your state?
- How might this be different according to the role of the individual (educator, lawyer, clergy, physician, caseworker, etc.)? Suggestions for prevention or early detection.
Interactive vignette: Include at least one brief, one-two paragraph vignette surrounding the issue of child abuse.
Prepare 2-3 questions you would ask in the workshop, asking the individuals to analyze the event.
