Parental abuse is defined as any act by a child or teenager that causes harm to their parent in an attempt to gain power or control. It can take emotional, verbal, physical, or financial forms and commonly emerges in adolescence. Contrary to popular belief, parental abuse stems from a desire for control rather than anger issues. It affects both parents and children, potentially causing psychological harm, isolation, and difficulty forming healthy relationships. While laws criminalize certain abusive acts, societal perceptions often view the child as a victim rather than offender when authorities intervene in abusive family dynamics. Parental abuse is an increasing issue worldwide that many parents are reluctant to address due to stigma.
The National Counselling Service (NCS):
1) Provides free counseling and psychotherapy to adults who experienced childhood abuse, with a focus on those abused in institutions.
2) Has served over 20,000 clients since being established 10 years ago in response to reports of institutional abuse.
3) Offers easily accessible counseling nationwide through self-referral and free phone access, with the majority of clients reporting benefits such as improved management of feelings and ability to cope.

Self-advocacy presentation York UniversityGillian Sumi
This presentation teaches students about self-advocacy in university. It discusses knowing your strengths and needs, speaking up for yourself, and taking action independently. Students learn about accessing support services in university, such as disability services and professors. The presentation emphasizes knowing your rights under the Ontario Human Rights Code, communicating effectively, and practicing self-advocacy through developing learning strategies and connecting with campus resources. Scenarios demonstrate proper and improper ways to discuss accommodation needs with professors. The overall message is that with self-advocacy skills, students can succeed in university.

Like any other webquest, this one follows the same structure: Introduction, Task, Process, Resources, Evaluation and Conclusion. Students should put themselves in the place of people with special needs, reflect on their attitudes and behaviour towards them. They will be also ask to design a poster to help improve attitudes toward children with disabilities. In the process, they follow some given topics and links. They are also aware of what their evaluation will consist on and what they´ll have learnt when the project is complete.
This document discusses child abuse, including definitions, types, warning signs, and prevention. It defines child abuse as harming a child or putting them at risk of harm. The main types are physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect. Neglect is the most common type and involves failing to meet a child's basic needs. Physical abuse causes injuries through actions like punching or beating. Sexual abuse involves any sexual act with a child. Emotional abuse damages a child's mental health through actions like belittling or name calling. Prevention requires support systems, home visits, and anonymous abuse reporting options. Treatment involves removing the child from the situation and providing counseling. The document also provides statistics on child abuse in Puerto Rico.
This document discusses the role of psychiatric social workers in providing intervention for people with disabilities and victims of accidents. It outlines that social workers aim to strengthen human functioning and support resources for clients. Their interventions for the disabled include preventative, curative, and rehabilitative services like vocational training, counseling, assessments, and helping patients prepare to return home after medical care. For accident victims, social workers are involved in admission decisions, ensure ongoing support, and provide legal assistance. The overall goal is for social workers to help both groups improve their social functioning through various services.
The document defines children, persons with special needs, impairment, disability, and handicap according to various sources. It discusses the global prevalence of disabilities, common types of special needs, and causes of disabilities. In Malaysia, an estimated 2.6% of the population has a disability. The Ministry of Health, Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development, and NGOs provide services for children and persons with special needs, including assessments, treatment, rehabilitation, education support, and welfare assistance.
This document provides an overview of various disabilities, disorders, and syndromes that can impact learning. It defines key terms like disability, disorder, and syndrome. It then describes several categories of conditions - learning disabilities, speech disabilities, reading disabilities, writing disabilities, mathematics disabilities, physical disabilities, and disorders like ADHD, autism, Tourette's syndrome. For each one, it briefly outlines what they are, their impact on learning or brain development, and examples of specific disabilities or disorders that fall under that category. The document concludes with a list of resources for further information.
This document outlines the different levels of prevention in health: primordial, primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primordial prevention aims to prevent risk factors from emerging in populations through health education. Primary prevention removes the possibility of disease through actions like immunizations, nutrition programs, and lifestyle changes. Secondary prevention halts disease progression and prevents complications through screening, treatment of known cases, and limiting spread. Tertiary prevention focuses on rehabilitation and reducing impairments and disabilities for existing health issues through measures like disability limitation and vocational training.
Disabled people have faced discrimination through being denied jobs and called humiliating names due to beliefs that they are dependent, unable to cope alone, less intelligent, and not fit to breed. However, disabled people have proven these beliefs wrong through accomplishments like the world's smartest man being disabled and disabled people participating in their own Olympics, demonstrating that not all disabled people are as incapable as assumed.
This document discusses disability and impairment in India. It begins with background on defining and understanding disability, noting it is complex with both medical and social aspects. Disability results from interactions between health conditions and environmental/personal factors. The document then discusses prevalence of disability in India, citing 2011 Census data that found over 26 million persons or 2.21% of the population identified as disabled. It increased from 2001. Most disabled persons live in rural areas and males have a higher proportion than females. The document provides definitions of disability types and risk factors like malnutrition, conflict, and traffic accidents. It also outlines government policies and schemes in India related to disability.
This document discusses physical disabilities and provides biographies of famous disabled people including Stephen Hawking, Helen Keller, and Ludwig van Beethoven. It defines disability as a physical or mental impairment that hinders normal achievement. Stephen Hawking was diagnosed with ALS but continued his work as a physicist despite being paralyzed. Helen Keller contracted an illness as a baby that left her deaf and blind, but she learned to communicate and graduated from college. Beethoven began losing his hearing in his late 20s and became completely deaf but continued composing renowned music.
Individuals with disabilities have historically been treated as second class citizens in Canada. They were institutionalized and faced discrimination. Labels like "idiot" and "moron" were used to describe people with disabilities, influencing negative perceptions. While the Ontario Human Rights Code now prohibits disability discrimination, individuals with disabilities still face barriers to full inclusion and equality including higher rates of poverty, lack of support programs, and social stigma. Solutions include changing perceptions of disability, improving support systems, and promoting greater awareness and acceptance of individuals with disabilities.
