Question

recent community interventions responding to child abuse

Answer 1

Community level interventions recently developed as a response to child abuse are counseling and educational services, day care services, and services for mental health and addiction problems. They also help with housing needs of the parents. Community interventions believe that foster care does more harm to an abused child than good. The aim of community interventions vary. Some focus on child protection, while some focus on treatment of the child and the parents (offenders), while others seek to provide skills and strategies for effective parent-child relationship and family coping.
