In this course, we will examine correlates and consequences of child maltreatment, as well as the social, environmental, and cultural buffers and mitigating factors that lessen risk and promote protection/ resilience in maltreated children. We will also explore disparities in child maltreatment and child welfare system involvement. Throughout the course, you will learn about the public health model of child abuse prevention and examine programs that align with different tiers of a public health approach. In discussing these programs, you will be asked to consider how social work professionals can play a role in prevention, health promotion, and advocacy for children’s rights and protection from abuse.
Child Welfare Scholars will receive permission prior to registration to enroll in this class. It is open to other students until full.
