April is National Child Abuse Prevention month. For the entire month of April, co-hosts Ingrid Cockhren, CEO of PACEs Connection, and Mathew Portell, PACEs Connection director of communities, will examine America's history of child abuse and neglect and outline how this history connects to our current child abuse crisis.
In part two of this series of episodes dedicated to the systemic nature of child abuse and neglect in America, Cockhren and Portell will discuss the different layers of influence embedded within our society that create the conditions for abuse and neglect to fester.
The focus will be on community-level influences. This discussion will include the influence of school environments, rural communities, housing discrimination, community violence, poverty, gun violence, gang culture, and more.
Cockhren and Portell will also outline how the science of positive and adverse childhood experiences (PACEs) science can be applied to both address and prevent child abuse and neglect.
