Child Abuse Organizations
It is another day and Laws.com has been speaking to many more organizations that are working toward the goal of raising awareness and trying to put an end to abuse towards children. The groups that we have found for today are all doing great things for the community so we thought many of you out there may be able to benefit from knowing more about them.
The first of these groups is the Bellflower Center for Prevention of Child Abuse. They have been doing what they can to help nurture children and strengthen families for over 30 years now, and with time, their techniques have only gotten better. The Bellflower Center’s main focus is to break the cycle of abuse through the education and clinical treatment of both young victims and adults that have survived being abused. As many of you may be aware, it is very likely that a child that is abused will grow up to continue these actions on their own children. The Center’s efforts helps people that have anger and sadness that they do not know how to express in a productive manner. They also provide assistance and education to teen mothers, there are personal safety programs, help for kids that witness violence, and there are hotlines on the site for people to use if they or somebody they know is being abused.
Over in New England, the Prevent Child Abuse Rhode Island organization is getting involved to put an end to this problem as well. When you go to their website, you can see all of the resources that they provide. There is a hotline you can use that is displayed right on the front page, there are statistics of abuse in Rhode Island, a clear definition of what child abuse is, and how you can report it. RICAP is working to strengthen family units, educate child care providers, teachers, and pediatric health professionals with their professional development workshops, and make the public aware of what can happen to children if they are not nurtured the way they should be. Visit their website to learn about everything they have to offer the Rhode Island communities. Donations are also welcome and can be given through the site.
The last of today’s child abuse organizations is G.W. Medical Publishing. They contribute to helping the problem of child abuse in a very important way. Founded by Glenn Whaley, this group has published several child abuse related materials so that society can get a better understanding about the issue, how to prevent it, what to do if child abuse does occur, and how to help children that have been abused. G.W. Medical Publishing has entire training curriculums available on their website that cover topics such as neglect, sexual exploitation, and general child maltreatment as well. If you or your organization would like to purchase any of these books, training programs, CD-ROMs, or any other type of educational materials, visit their website to see what is available to you. Glenn Whaley himself has told us that if anyone mentions Laws.com, they will receive twenty-percent off of their purchase.
These groups will be continuing to help society in a big way for years to come so we are happy to have them featured here. Hopefully many of you out there will help these organizations reach their goal by donating or maybe even organize people in your area to fight the problem of child abuse.
