Child Abuse and Culture: Working with Diverse Families

Abstract

Provides a framework for culturally competent practice with children and families in child abuse cases. Presents workable strategies and examples addressing cultural concerns at each stage of the assessment and intervention process. Offers professionals and students new ways of thinking about their own cultural viewpoints in order to gain critical skills for maximizing the accuracy of assessments for physical and sexual abuse; overcoming language barriers in parent and child interviews; respecting families' values and beliefs while ensuring children's safety; and creating a welcoming agency environment.
