In this article, I ask about the roles other people can play in the lives of children who have experienced abuse and neglect. The smallest kindness helps.
The document discusses the impact of neglect on children. Neglect can have long-lasting detrimental effects on a child's ability to form relationships and their mental health. Children who experience neglect may exhibit behaviors like aggression, depression, low self-esteem, substance abuse and anxiety. They also have difficulty maintaining relationships as adults and are more likely to engage in behaviors like divorce. Recognizing and addressing neglect is important to help heal children who have experienced this form of abuse.
There is a shortage of foster families willing to care for children. Many children, especially those with disabilities, have difficulty finding permanent homes. The responsibilities and costs of caring for foster children, particularly those with special needs, may exceed the amount of funding provided by the government. As a result, these vulnerable children face feelings of loneliness and lack of stability as they move between homes, waiting for a family to adopt them. All children deserve to grow up in a nurturing environment, regardless of their abilities or circumstances.
The document discusses several socio-demographic factors that can influence the risk of physical child abuse by fathers. It finds that children living in single-parent households, families in poverty, and those with unemployed fathers are at greater risk. Younger fathers, who may experience economic hardship, depression, and social isolation, as well as those involved in criminal activities, also present higher risks. More research is still needed using larger and more diverse samples of fathers to further understand the paternal factors that shape children's safety and well-being.
Prior studies have linked substance abuse in fathers to increased risk of physical abuse and neglect of children. Physical abuse is defined as intentional harm to a child, while neglect is failure to meet a child's basic needs. Studies have found that substance abusing fathers score higher on measures of child abuse potential and are overrepresented as substance abusers in child maltreatment cases identified by protective services. However, more research is needed to understand how exactly fathers' substance abuse increases risk of child maltreatment. Future studies should assess fathers' involvement in child rearing in more depth and track physical abuse and neglect as separate outcomes to better inform interventions.

Overcoming Broken Homes Through Sports Sgpbrialvarez
Growing up in a broken home due to divorce can negatively impact children in several ways. Divorce is often the result of issues like lack of communication, abuse, infidelity, or financial problems. Children of divorce are more likely to experience sadness, anger, academic issues, substance abuse, early sexual activity, and depression. They may also take on adult responsibilities prematurely or act out through rebellious behavior. Sports and physical activity can help children develop important life skills to cope with these challenges and build their self-esteem and leadership abilities.

CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT 2
Child Abuse and Neglect
Introduction
Child welfare is one of the special areas of practice in social work. It is special in the context in which the principles and values that govern the social work profession align with policies that guide child welfare organizations. Child abuse is one of the major universal social problems that impact children from all types and levels of society. Child abuse can have a significant impact on the child's personality growth. More so, it can affect the child's adult behavior in later life. Therefore, it the role of the social workers to study the causes of abuse and treatment. Underlaying the efforts is the belief that all societies are responsible for creating an abuse-free society (Zeanah & Humphreys, 2018). This study aims to evaluate factors related to childhood abuse and neglect and social workers' role in alleviating the problem.
Nature and scope of child abuse and neglect
Child abuse is a devastating social problem in society. While the legal definition of child abuse and neglect may vary across different states, there are four recognized classifications of child abuse and neglect. They are sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional maltreatment, and neglect. They neglect medical, educational, and other forms of neglect. Almost 700 000 children are abused every year in the United States. That is about 1 percent of the total number of kids. In 2019, it was estimated that 1770 children in the United States died because of child abuse and neglect. However, the data is incomplete because there are likely to be a lot of unreported cases (Krugman & Poland, 2019). The most prone victims of abuse and neglect are the youngest children. That is children who are in the first year of their life. WWW points out that in 2019 children of 3 years and below experienced a mistreatment rate of 16 per 1000. For children aged 4 to 7 years, the mistreatment rate was 12 per 1000 population. For 8 to 11 years, the mistreatment rate was at 8 per 1000 population.

The mistreatment rate goes on decreasing as the children age up. It is the responsibility of child welfare authorities to ensures the safety of children in the country.
Historical Background
For a long time, children have been considered as the property of their parents. Therefore, this notion assumes that parents hold the power of life and death over their children. Throughout history, there have been social provisions that seek to protect orphans and the abandoned children from abuse and neglect. The provisions covered only the orphans and the disabled. However. It is in the last 150 years that the state has made efforts to protect the rights of children by overriding the rights of parents. That means that during the era of the industrial revolution and the invention and introduction of compulsory education attendan ...
Critical Review of Research Evidence Part 3 FDRobert Cope
This document discusses trauma experienced by children in foster care and the potential for EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy to help address it. Children in foster care often experience trauma from being removed from their biological homes as well as potential abuse or neglect. They also face issues from multiple placements and aging out of the system unprepared. EMDR is presented as a promising 8-step therapy that could help youth resolve memories from traumatic experiences. The document examines the scope of problems faced by the foster care population and why addressing trauma is important to help youth as they transition into adulthood.
The document discusses potential solutions to the complex issue of whether lack of parenting skills can lead to child abuse and neglect. A group analyzed this issue and proposed three main solutions: 1) Further educating parents, teachers, and caregivers about warning signs through additional programs. 2) Better educating healthcare professionals to recognize signs of abuse. 3) Improving Children's Protective Services through reputation management and adding case workers. The group felt that education was the highest priority and most discussed solution across all sources analyzed. Improving awareness of child abuse and available resources through education programs was seen as key to addressing this complex social issue.

Child Abuse
Introduction
This research paper will involve the reviewing of the issue of child abuse. Child abuse is an issues that has been happening in the society since the ancient times. However, in the modern world, the categorization and the definition of child abuse has changed. Definition of child abuse will involve the inclusion of the different forms of the abuse, common modes of child abuse and the interventions that can be used for addressing of the issues of child abuse. There are different reasons as to why the research study about child abuse is important in the current world, due to the fact that the gathering of data and information about child abuse will help in the devising of strategies and ways of addressing this crisis. According to reports by different organizations such as World Health Organization(WHO), most of the cases of child abuse can be avoided or even treated. Forms of child abuse such as physical, sexual, neglect and even emotional or psychological abuse can be prevented through understanding them.
Rationale for the selection of the topic of child abuse as a research paper is to pass information to the people about the adverse effects associated with child abuse, interventions which can be used for addressing the issue of child abuse and the possible reasons for the increase in the cases of child abuse in the modern world. Consequently, researching on this topic of child abuse helps in the minimization of cots that would have been incurred fostering care, counselling in the family as well medical care. Rationally, most people still have the mentality and perception that child abuse is characterized by the old definitions of working in farms and factories as well as plantations. However, in the current world, child abuse has been revolutionized as well. Issues of sexual abuse and exploitation, such as trafficking, rape and commercial sex are emerging issues in child abuse. Adverse effects of child abuse are normally evident due to the fact that some aspects of child abuse such as emotional hardly heal (Jud, Andreas, Jörg M. Fegert, and David Finkelhor, 17). Due to the fact that issues of child abuse have been ignored in the society, analysis and research on this issue will help in the addressing and handling of this issue.
Background
Different definitions and forms of child abuse have been suggested by both scholars and researchers. Basically, child abuse or even child maltreatment involves the previously identified forms, that is sexual, emotional, neglect and physical. Most of the countries have been sensitizing on the issue of child abuse, with these four notable forms of child abuse having penalties and custody depending on the seriousness of the case. Different perceptions and ideas have been presented with regard to corporal punishmen.
This document discusses the negative effects of broken homes and families on society. It notes that most criminals come from broken homes such as those with single parents or living in poverty. When children are raised in broken family units they often face more social and behavioral problems. The document also discusses the issues of teenage pregnancy and how young mothers may not be prepared to properly care for a child, potentially leading to problems for the child down the road. It advocates for better sex education and community programs to help guide and support at-risk youth.
Students Against Violence and what causes bullying.docxwrite5
Bullying is a widespread problem that can have serious negative consequences. It is often caused by social factors like an imbalance of power between the bully and victim. Common types of bullying include physical, verbal, and cyber bullying. Effective anti-bullying programs involve creating a supportive environment at home and school, establishing clear rules against bullying, and consistently enforcing negative consequences for bullies. While bullying can never be fully eliminated, well-designed prevention programs have been shown to significantly reduce incidents of bullying.

Literature Review
Ironically, homelessness itself a kind of mental torture which automatically creates distress in a person's mind and bitterness about life. A person without having shelter feels uncomfortable; unsatisfied with his life that he cannot feed his family, even the state's policies are not fair enough to support homeless families. Here, in this paper, we discuss child homelessness which is a great threat to child health in terms of mental distress and academic performance (Vostanis, 1998). In a recent survey, there were 1.4 million children experienced homelessness worldwide, about 75% of children experienced homelessness by doubling-up with other families. On the other hand, 15% of children were in shelters, hotels/motels percentage calculated as 7%, and those were who didn't have shelter to live were 4%. The data has been collected from 2016-17 survey regarding measuring the child homelessness in all over the world according to which appropriate measures could be taken to ensure the provision of shelters, homes, education to homeless children effectively and efficiently. The data mentioned above is being reported from two sources, i.e. school districts required to report based on the number of homeless students they serve. In contrast, others belong to the consensus of federally funded homeless shelters and temporary housing programs conducted by the U.S. Department of Housing and urban development.

Furthermore, the most important thing noticed during this survey is that overall child homelessness affects the mental health of the children and their academic performance. They do not feel comfortable while studying with 13-14 other family members, unsatisfied mind creates mental trouble and become the reason of destruction in overall academic performance.

Sibling issues can arise when one child has a mental disability. This can require adjustment and impact future relationships. However, children with disabled siblings often develop positive traits like empathy.
When working with youth in the criminal justice system, more focus should be placed on addressing underlying mental health issues rather than just restraining behaviors. Counselors need to help determine what is causing misbehavior.
Children who have experienced trauma like abuse, neglect, family separation, or disasters may react in various ways and need long-term support through counseling to rebuild trust and cope with their experiences. It is important counselors understand children's needs and can refer them to appropriate resources.

Racism: We White People are the Dangerous OnesJane Gilgun
It's way past time that white people see that we are dangerous to Afican Americans and other people of color. In this powerpoint, I share the idea that white people are the dangerous ones and I provide ways to change racist beliefs and practices that make us dangerous. We define who they are and we act on our definitions. If we define them as inferior, we act as if they are and don't believe they deserve the rights and privileges we have. If we view them as dangerous, we are afraid of them. We may avoid them, talk about them behind their backs, bully then, beat them, or kill them. We are the dangerous ones.
Social Work-Specific Research and the Chicago School of SociologyJane Gilgun
Social work as an academic discipline has struggled to develop research methods and methodologies that are specific to social work. This set of slides shows the relevance of the Chicago School of Sociology to social work research. In fact, there may be a case for the name Chicago School Social Work Research. Hiding in plain sight are research methods that originated within the Chicago School of Sociology of the first third of the twentieth century and that have undergone further development ever since in such disciplines as sociology and nursing. Social work has not been part of the methodological developments that early social workers helped originate. Members of the Hull House Settlement were early contributors to the Chicago School not only in terms of understanding social problems and crafting policies and programs, but also in terms of research methods and methodologies that later became known as grounded theory, deductive qualitative analysis, and fieldwork.
Common Factors in The Treatment of Complex Trauma Jane Gilgun
Professor Gilgun draws upon research and theory on resilience, neurobiology, executive function, attachment, trauma, and self-regulation (NEATS) to present an integrated common factors model on work with families and children where the children have experienced complex trauma. Professor Gilgun will make use of case study material to illustrate the application of these important concepts.

The Logic of Moving from Meaning to InterventionJane Gilgun
From Perpetrators' points of view, violence is good, but for anyone that violence harms it is not. This presentation shows that violence is mindless. The logical response to mindlessness is mindfulness. Mindfulness-based practice, therefore, is a logical response to violence
Self compassion & Relationship-Based Practice in Child WelfareJane Gilgun
Self-compassion is loving kindness toward the self during times of stress and in good times, too. This powerpoint describes compassion, self-compassion, and how to foster compassion and self-compassion in clients. This can old happen when service providers and service users have relationships of trust..
Growing older has its joys and challenges, just as earlier life stages do. This video describes indicators of living well, wisdom in old age, spirituality and aging, and gerotranscendence. Gerotranscendence is shift in perspective from a materialistic and rational vision to a more cosmic and transcendent one, normally followed by an increase in life satisfaction and peace of mind even when persons experience physical frailty.
Growing older has both joys and challenges, like every other life stage. As people age, they become free to engage in social and service actives that work and family demands did not permit earlier in life. This presentation describes vital involvement and wisdom in old age. As Cicero said more than 2000 years ago," If virtues are cultivated at every period of life, these produce wonderful fruits when you reach old age."
Girls' Aggression in Child Welfare Caseloads: Issues and InterventionsJane Gilgun
This document discusses girls' aggression, noting that it affects many areas and that African American girls are disproportionately subject to punitive responses. It recommends assessing contributing factors and using compassion-based interventions like mindfulness training, restorative justice, and cultural affirmation programs rather than expulsion. These alternative approaches can help address the underlying issues while avoiding increased hurt and continuation of problematic behaviors.
Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and Disinhibited Social Engagement Disord...Jane Gilgun
This presentation discusses two types of serious attachment problems that are often found in children who have experienced complex trauma and disorganized attachments with care providers. Children who spent early years in orphanages and children who experienced multiple care providers and complex trauma are at risk for these disorders. The topics covered are reactive attachment disorder (RAD) and the new diagnostic classification which is disinhibited social engagement disorder, which used to be part of RAD. Some children who appear to have RAD and DSED should be evaluated for other issues, such as autism and fetal alcohol effects.
Racism: We White People are the Dangerous OnesJane Gilgun
We project beliefs and images about race onto others. These beliefs are often outside of our awareness. These beliefs become activated in a variety of situations. We construct others based on our beliefs and images and not on who they actually are. We may see others as dangerous when they are not. We are the dangerous ones. Our beliefs and images bring great harm to others. This powerpoint shows contemporary understandings of racism, how to become aware of our racism, and how to change racist beliefs, images, and practices.

Stages of Change & Reactance in Group WorkJane Gilgun
This document discusses stages of change and reactance in group work. It summarizes the stages of change model, which developed from research on smoking cessation and may apply to other issues. The stages are precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. It also discusses the common factors model and how relationships, motivation, capacities, skills and techniques, and external factors influence change. Reactance is defined as a response to threatened behaviors and can block change. Maintaining change requires attention to relationships and external environments to feel understood, connected, and safe.
Doing a Cultural Genogram: Hardy & LaszloffyJane Gilgun
This presentation describes the cultural genogram according to the work and thought of Hardy & Laszloffy. Doing a cultural genogram is an important part of becoming a competent helping professional. Emotional and psychological boundaries are central to effectiveness. Doing a cultural genogram raises subconscious processes to awareness, and thus professionals are much less likely to put their stuff on other people, including people who may be their clients and who are vulnerable.
This presentation is an overview of multisystemic family therapy which is an approach to work with children and families where the system in which families live their lives is the target of intervention. Thus, professionals operate within the various ecologies in which families live their lives. There are multiple evaluations of this approach, and in general when implemented accurately has good outcomes.
Building Models of Social Processes from the Ground Up: Two Case StudiesJane Gilgun
Social workers tilt at windmills. We want to create a just and caring society. All we have to do is read headlines of local, national, and international news to see the difficulties of the tasks we have chosen for ourselves. When we reflect upon the work we do, we have more evidence that our work may be never-ending. The bright spots, hope, and the vision of a caring world impel us onward. In this think tank, I will show how I have developed models of social processes that I hope others can use in their quests for a more just and caring society. In each of these models, I drew upon the four cornerstones of evidence-based practice: research and theory, practice wisdom, service user wants, preferences, and values, and my own personal and professional values, experiences, and reflections. The two case studies are 1) factors associated with good outcomes when children have experienced complex trauma and 2) a model of intervention with perpetrators of interpersonal violence.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.

Two points to ponder regarding child abuse
1. Two Points to Ponder Regarding Child Abuse & Neglect:
The Smallest Kindness Helps
By Jane Gilgun
Summary
In this article, I ask about the roles other people can play in the lives of children who have
experienced abuse and neglect. This is an important question because few abused children
and their families receive professional services, either through voluntary participation in
family education and treatment programs or from child protection agencies. Far right
legislators have reduced budgets for services to families and children, which puts abused and
neglected children and youth at increased risk. The smallest kindness helps.
When Children Do Well
illions of children are abused and neglected each year in the United States. Most of
these children not only do not go on to perpetrate abuse and neglect themselves
but a large percentage appear to do as well and sometimes better than children
who were not abused and neglected. This suggests naturally occurring processes that help
some children do well despite adversities. They have shown resilience, or capacities to
cope with, adapt to, and overcome the effects of abuse and neglect.
M
Research and theory suggest that children who do well under difficult
circumstances have at least one parent who is emotionally available to the children and
provides the safety and security that children require to show resilience. Typically these
parents not only have capacities for secure attachments, but they also have supportive
relationships with other people, have good judgment, good capacities for keeping
themselves on an even keel emotionally, and have good coping skills. One of many studies
2. that support these ideas show that children exposed to domestic violence found that
children who showed resilience as compared to children who did not had fewer worries
and fears and mothers with better mental health and parenting skills (Graham-Burnam et
al, 2009, cited in Graham-Burnam & Howell, 2011).
These ideas do not mean abused and neglected children require no response from
other people. On the contrary, at least half or more children who are abused and neglected
have difficulty in a variety of areas, such as school work, forming friendships with other
children, and in developing their own interests and talents. This not only affects the quality
of their lives but it affects the quality of their contributions to the quality of life of others.
Since these children rarely receive any professional services, other people have roles to
play in the promotion of children’s resilience when they have experienced abuse and
neglect. In short, teachers, youth workers, child care professionals, friends, and neighbors
have roles to play.
What do you think these others can do?
Legal Definitions & Harmful Parental Behaviors
Another point to ponder is the differences between legal definitions of abuse and
neglect and children’s experiences of harmful parental behaviors. An example of this is the
legal definition of medical neglect, where the issue is framed as one of parental obligation
alone. When parents fail to provide needed medical treatment, they are liable to charges of
medical neglect (Dubowitz, 2011).
Dubowitz (2011) cited a case of a six year-old girl who had four hospitalizations for
severe asthma attacks. A week after discharge from her latest hospitalization, the child
appeared to be doing well at planned medical check-up. However, her mother had not
bought the prescribed medication for the child’s condition. The mother explained that she
was waiting for her next paycheck as she had no medical insurance. Her husband and the
child’s father had left the family three years before and paid no child support.
Who is responsible for the mother’s failure to provide her daughter with
medication?
Discussion
Well-functioning societies have high investments in children. The cutbacks in
services to children have placed far more children at risk than has been true in the past.
These cutbacks raise to the foreground something that has also been a fact of life. It takes a
village to raise a children. Not matter the state of funding for social services, families,
friends, neighbors, teachers, child care professionals, youth workers, police and people
from all walks of life can make positive contributions to families and children. The smallest
kindnesses help.
