America's culture of child abuse and neglect negatively impacts every aspect of American life. During April 2022, co-hosts Ingrid Cockhren and Mathew Portell examined America's history of child abuse and neglect and outlined how this history connects to our current child abuse crisis.
This week they share an encore episode of the Part 2 of the series.
According to Cockhren, "This episode is dedicated to illuminating the systemic nature of child abuse and neglect in America."
Cockhren and Portell discuss the different layers of influence embedded within our society and how these influences create the conditions that allow abuse and neglect to fester.
In this episode, they focus on community-level influences, including the influence of school environments, rural communities, housing discrimination, community violence, poverty, gun violence, and gang culture.
They also outline how PACEs science can be applied to both address and prevent child abuse and neglect.
