This source is another organization out of New York that prevents child abuse. This group has many different programs and services that are examples of what a Child Abuse Prevention Program looks like.
This source discusses the outcome of abuse and what abuse prevention programs do to help.
In my article I plan to discuss what an abuse prevention program is. I will do this through two of my sources that are organizations that explain what they do and why they do it. Then, I will discuss how to prevent abuse and what to look for by my source that gives a description of how prevention programs for abuse works and how they help. I will also discuss what child abuse is and give examples of different categories such as bullying, abuse in a house hold, and many others. Then, I will discuss briefly the history of Abuse Prevention Programs.
Final Draft:
Child abuse prevention programs are groups that help adults, such as parents and teachers, recognize and become familiar with signs of a child who is being abused. Abuse prevention programs give examples of symptoms children who are being abused show and how to help a child in that situation. Abuse prevention programs help find symptoms of sexually, physically, and emotionally abused children. Abuse prevention programs look into the child’s home life, school, health, and neighborhood as factors that can indicate abuse. Some abuse prevention programs offer camps and educational services[1] for children in the welfare system to keep them on the right path and provide care and support. Child abuse is increasing[2], which is why abuse prevention programs are helpful for many adults who work and see children often. Many organizations give tips such as “protective factors”. Protective f[3]actors are a set of characteristic that can help reduce the risk of adverse childhood experiences. These factors include social connections, parental resilience, concrete support in times of need, knowledge of parenting and child development, and social and emotional competence of children. Not only do abuse prevention programs help adults look for warning signs in a child’s behavior and environment, but they also help adults help the abused child. Since child abuse significantly harms a child’s development, abuse prevention programs give coping mechanisms and often have experienced survivors of abuse[4] to help relate to a child in need. Abuse prevention programs are a tool in taking a first step in helping a child in need.
