School intervention programs: an approach to preventing child abuse.
Child abuse and neglect are often a child's first introduction to the violent society in which he lives. Combatting violence, including child abuse, requires a multifaceted approach to reinforce the value of a human life and the commitment to a nonviolent lifestyle. Combining a home, school, and community approach strengthens a community's ability to improve skills of parents, teachers, youth, and citizens. EPIC program is such an approach that can be tailored to meet local needs. It is available in 50 New Jersey communities with replication assistance provided by NJ-NCPCA.
