HS8453 Prevention and Causes of Child Abuse
The focus of this course is on the research and application of evidence-based practice models that support the prevention and early intervention of child abuse and neglect. Learners examine indicators that may identify at-risk and high-risk family situations and analyze the roles and responsibilities of the human service practitioner in child abuse and neglect assessment, prevention, intervention, and reporting. Learners also evaluate the impact of ethical and cultural conflicts, management perspectives, and the implementation of family preservation programs.
