1 Hour | 1 CE
This on-demand professional training program on Specialized Violence: Child Abuse & Neglect is presented by Brianne Layden, Ph.D., in partnership with Protect International Risk and Safety Services.
Experiencing child maltreatment has long been recognized as a risk factor for myriad adverse outcomes, including personality and interpersonal problems, self-and other-directed violence, psychopathology, and substance use; however, the factors that contribute to the perpetration of child abuse and neglect are far less understood. This program provides an overview of different forms and definitions of child abuse and neglect and recent developments in the literature on risk factors for the perpetration of child maltreatment. In particular, perpetrator and child-specific risk factors are discussed and risk factors associated with the family. This program also includes a discussion of case examples and utilizes the Child Abuse Risk Evaluation (CARE; Agar, 2003) to illustrate structured professional judgment guidelines for assessing and managing risk for perpetrating child physical abuse and neglect.
