| Impact Report | Prevention and Detection of Child Maltreatment Child abuse is doing something or failing to do something that puts a child at risk of harm. Child abuse is more than bruises and broken bones it can be physical, sexual, emotional, or neglect. Physical abuse is shocking due to the scars it leaves, not all child abuse is obvious, such as emotional abuse. However, by learning the types of abuse and what you can do, you can make a huge difference in a child’s life. This two hour training was provided on October 21, 2010 at the Tohatchi I.H.S. Bldg. The workshop was attended by 40 men and women who are registered with the Fort Defiance Regional Child Care Providers Agency by and was presented by the home economist. Participants learned about the Myths: It’s only abuse if it’s violent, Only bad people abuse their children, Child abuse doesn’t happen in “good” families, Most child abusers are strangers, and finally the last myth Abused children always grow up to be abusers. The providers also learned the effects of child abuse and neglect. Knowledge was gained and providers seem sure that with the training they received they too can detect child abuse and neglect. Evaluation was provided by the Navajo Nation Child Care Providers Agency. |
