We sponsor a Child Injury Prevention Program that is available to parents and guardians of children 6 years of age and younger. Are you familiar with our children's programs and what experience do you have working with children?
Frazer Health Authority's Child Injury Prevention Program promotes awareness and understanding of circumstances leading to abuse and neglect, and teaches ways to manage occurrences. Signs of abuse and neglect of both the elderly and children is more closely monitored in society today. The main goal is always prevention rather than correction. If you have any experience, share it with the interviewer.
"I used to work between the Labor & Delivery unit and Pediatrics. We noticed a trend regarding child abuse and neglect among younger mothers. As we began to investigate the situations and try to offer help and support, it became evident that many of these young mothers did not have a support system and had not been taught coping mechanisms. I truly believe that offering programs like this could be what saves some children."
"I think this is a great approach to educating and assisting parents and guardians of young children! I feel like education is the key that unlocks so many doors. If there are opportunities to volunteer in this program, I would definitely be interested!"
