Spotlight on child abuse and neglect response in the time of COVID-19

Year: 2020

Type: letter

Abstract: The call from Joht Chandan and colleagues to adopt a public health approach toward pandemic-related increases in domestic violence ought to be heeded.1 Adoption of their framework for evaluating and addressing domestic violence and child abuse and neglect can create public health benefits that far outlast the current crisis. School systems and youth-serving organisations can and should play a vital role in addressing the increased abuse and neglect of children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
