Post 6a
If I had limited funds and could only support one type of prevention program, I would choose primary prevention. This is because it's goal would be to actually prevent the maltreatment from ever occurring in the first place. Some examples of this would be creating stable neighborhoods and working on family cohesion. In actuality maltreatment will occur, however, I feel that the top priority and focus should be absolute prevention.

ReplyDeleteI would also spend the funds on primary prevention. I agree that it is best to stop the abuse before it ever happens. Creating stable neighborhoods would be a very good place to begin with primary prevention. It wouldn't be the easiest thing to do, but it would be worth it in the end.
I agree that we will never be able to stop ALL maltreatment, but as you said the top priority is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Why not stop as much as we absolutely can?!
ReplyDeleteI agree that primary prevention would be a wise way to spend the money. If we are able to prevent abuse before it ever occurs that would be the most beneficial for children in today's society.
