Course Description: Many social work professionals, even those outside of child welfare, interact with children and families in their daily work. These interactions provide an opportunity to engage in conversations about healthy parenting and child abuse prevention. Because abuse and neglect are serious adversities that can cause severe and long-term physical and emotional damage to children, it is incumbent on all social workers to have a basic understanding of abuse prevention strategies. The purpose of this workshop is to provide social workers from a variety of disciplinary fields with (1) knowledge on the latest research on maltreatment trends and prevalence between different social contexts and developmental ages, (2) exposure to multiple types of child abuse prevention strategies for a variety of professional settings (i.e. healthcare clinics, schools, community mental health, etc.), and (3) the skills to implement chosen strategies for diverse populations depending on the developmental age of the child.
