This program focuses on developing students' understanding of the various factors that lead to child maltreatment, and of various existing responses to incidents of child maltreatment, in order that they may work more effectively within various systems and institutions that respond to these incidents. Students will learn about the various disciplinary responses to child maltreatment, and will develop a multi-disciplinary understanding of the most effective responses. Students completing the courses in this program will be better equipped to carry out the work of various agencies and systems (health care, criminal justice, social services) as they advocate on behalf of the needs of children as victims and survivors of child abuse CHILD ADVOCACY STUDIES Minne Hall, Room 225, (507) 457-5562 Carole L.
