Health Policies Related to Child Maltreatment

Children’s Advocacy Centers coordinate investigation and intervention services for maltreated

children by bringing together social work, legal, health care, and other professionals and agencies in

a multidisciplinary team to create a child-focused approach to child abuse cases. Home visitation is

another strategy that shows promise for improving child health and preventing child maltreatment

(Avellar & Supplee, 2013).
