Proposal Critique: Partnership for Childhood Injury Prevention (PCIP) Pediatric Service Providers Training Program

Child abuse is still a significant problem in United States. There are 2.9 million child abuse reports to Child Protective Services in 2005 and 825,000 indicated cases. Child abuse has profound impact on the child’s current and future development. The consequences include health and physical effects, intellectual and cognitive impact, and emotional, psychological and behavioral consequences. To improve parenting practice of first time parents is an important way to address this problem. The rate of child abuse is highest for children between birth and 3 years of age. A new Cognitive Behavioral Parent Training Program for Child Abuse Prevention targeted at first time mothers is formed by absorbing elements from existed parent

Pediatricians must recognize and respond to pediatric abusive head trauma, no matter how subtle the signs may be, in order to prevent further neurological injury. The appropriate reports must be made to child welfare services and law enforcement in order to make arrangements for the future safety of the child and deal with the legal ramifications of the abuser.

Often children die or get seriously injured due to abuse or avoidable accidents. Society has a duty to protect children. We have a range of professional organisations supported by legislation, policies and procedures in order to do this. When the procedures and policies do not work society has failed at the thing it is meant to do. It is vital and that the causes of failure are known and dealt with.

Creating an individual service project has allowed me to add depth to my high school career and provide an opportunity for my school to reach out to the globe. To help my school continue this outreach, I plan to pass this project along to an under class man who is interested in continuing this successful program. Helping individuals prepare for emergencies, build a secure financial background, and protect the environment around them are just a few successes the Beta Club has helped launch and there will be many more in the

Sullivan, Murray, and Ake (2016) identified that in the child welfare system, the provision of trauma-informed care is particularly critical due to the fact that when compared to other child-servicing systems, it has been determined that within this system, the likelihood of exposure to traumatic events is higher. Their study is focused on the description and evaluation of the first nationally available trauma-informed training resource developed for

Children have multiple or prolonged exposure to trauma, experience various symptoms and reactions, and long for progressive techniques to heal their pain.

By participating in this service project, I have learned that it is important to take part in activities that benefit

In the case study by Ghosh-Ippen, Lieberman, and NCTSN Core Curriculum on Childhood Trauma Task Force (2012), Amarika is an 18-month-old girl who witnessed the shooting of her mother Makisha at a neighborhood park. Her mother survived the shooting, but was in the hospital for some time after to recover. Her grandmother, Marlene Lawrence, cared for Amarika. Mrs. Lawrence reported that Amarika was refusing to eat and having difficulty sleeping. This is when the social worker, Carla, was contacted to provide trauma intervention for Amarika.

This survey was distributed to a convenience sample of caregivers of children who were four to eight years old across multiple places in Milwaukee, Wisconsin from August to November 2005. The survey was designed and reviewed by certified car seat technicians, community stakeholders and regional childhood injury experts to assess caregiver knowledge and report behavior. The Milwaukee Urban League determined the best areas to get the most accurate representation of the area including churches, schools, child care centers, community centers and street festivals. There was an administrative assistant that administered at an urban primary health care clinic and another assistant administered the surveys at other community events. Each survey was given an identification number based on the location given and the zip ode of the person completing the survey along with the age (in years) and the weight of the child. The survey asked general knowledge questions about how often car crashes occur as a cause of death and what weight is acceptable for just a seat belt. Other questions asked about the most common method of transportation for the family, along with the number of children normally in the vehicle. More questions asked about resource options for the families and about the last wellness visit the child had with their doctor. According to our text,

The Dental Lifeline Network provides oral care for people with limited financial income. DLN strives to change lives of countless people who lack access to dental care. The mission of the project I was working on is to find new ways to recruit new patients and volunteers. During my internship, I was focusing on Rhode Island, Texas, Illinois, and Iowa. I start researching and helping the DOS find the best ways to recruit new patient. For Rhode Island, I start researching and finding school nurses and agencies that works with youth or low income families and created spreadsheet to keep track of their contact information. I also created flyers and emailed the 30 school nurses and 8 agencies. Since the Rhode Island DOS program has a number of volunteer dentists waiting for a DOS patient, I emailed 21 dentists to remind them about the DOS program and ask if they can refer patients that will be eligible for the DOS program.

Youngsters are affected by environmental matters as it was in the past. Some children’s issues are injury, malignant neoplasms and congenital anomalies. Certainly, public health services are a great method to prevent children’s developmental delays, congenital and chronic illnesses. Many approaches such as social and medical factors support children’s wellbeing. In fact, children who have traumatic events should be able to receive help from a various community, settings such as, child-serving agencies,(health, mental health, education, child welfare, first responder, and criminal justice systems) These services assist children with the recovery (Ko, Kassam, Berkowitz & Wilson,

Children tend to feel unwell or injure themselves often especially in an environment full of other people and activities such as a nursery. But our job as practitioners is to be wary of these things and know what to do in case a child is unwell or injured.

They must be educated about the progress of the project, how they can help to it and the benefits that it has for them.
