A Model for a Child Abuse Prevention Program.
Vaughan, Mary Lynn; Loadman, William E.
Described is the first program in the State of Ohio for serving parents who need relief from parenting responsibilities or assistance during a period of crisis. Turning Point, a joint project of the North Side Child Development Center and the League Against Child Abuse, is a crisis assistance program that operates weekends to serve a maximum of 10 children who are primarily under 5 years of age, but can be as old as 13; who reside in Franklin County, Ohio; and who have previously been abused or neglected or are at risk of receiving such treatment from their parents. This report provides a position statement; a statement of premises; a rationale; discussions of liabilities, program characteristics, goals and objectives; and the program management plan. Operational flow charts concerning program development and the intake process are included, as well as a list of references. Appendices provide a list of factors associated with family violence, a staffing schedule, and a profile of the responsibilities of volunteers participating in the program. (RH)
