Dubowitz, Howard
ZERO TO THREE, v34 n1 p45-50 Sep 2013
Child maltreatment affects millions of children each year. health care providers are increasingly called upon to address such psychosocial problems facing many families. In this article, the authors describe a practical approach to further enhance pediatric primary care and make it more responsive to the needs of children and families. The Safe Environment for Every Kid (SEEK) model was developed to help practitioners identify and address targeted risk factors for child maltreatment in families with young children. SEEK aims to strengthen families, support parents, and thereby promote children's health, development, and safety.
