| The School-Based
Maltreatment Prevention project is a collaboration between the
Chicago Department of Public Health, the Chicago Center for Health
Systems Development, Inc., Rainbow House, Chicago Public Schools,
and Family Link. This community training and early intervention
program seeks to foster implementation of nonviolent behavior in
homes and classrooms. The project will conduct trainings for school
personnel and parents based on a nonviolence curriculum and a child
abuse and neglect awareness curriculum. In addition, educational
and social support for parents will be promoted through networking
meetings. The project will hold train-the-trainer sessions for
school and community agency staff to prepare them to teach other
about creating violence-free zones. Crisis intervention services
for students or schools staff who have witnessed or experienced
violent acts will be developed in collaboration with community
service agencies. |
