It outlines programs and strategies that are proving beneficial in reducing
the likelihood of child maltreatment, such as public awareness efforts, parent education, home visitation, and community prevention efforts.
This study shows how home visiting programs strengthen parenting skill, helping parents with knowledge, coaching referrals that improve the health, education and economic stability of children and significantly reduce
the likelihood of child maltreatment.

Indeed, Jay Belsky incorporated all
of these risk factors into his process model
of parenting, 11 and data from multiple studies support links to
child well - being.12 In an experiment on the effectiveness
of a program for low - birth - weight infants, Lawrence Berger and Jeanne Brooks - Gunn examined the relative effect
of both socioeconomic status and parenting on
child abuse and neglect (as measured by ratings
of health providers who saw
children in the treatment and control groups six times over the first three years
of life, not by review
of administrative data) and found that both factors contributed significantly and uniquely to the
likelihood that a family was perceived to engage in some form
of child maltreatment.13 The link between parenting behaviors and
child maltreatment suggests that interventions that promote positive parenting behaviors would also contribute to lower rates
of child maltreatment among families served.

maltreatment.
Although the research on resilience in foster
children specifically is sorely lacking, studies
of maltreated
children suggest that maltreated
children who exhibit resilience have high cognitive competence, self - esteem, and ego control (including flexibility, planfulness, persistence, and reflection).30 Thus, foster
children, who have an increased
likelihood of experiencing multiple risk factors such as poverty,
maltreatment, and separation from family
of origin, may have more positive outcomes if they are fortunate enough to also experience protective factors.

Risk factors such as poverty, caregiver mental illness,
child maltreatment, single parent, and low maternal education have a cumulative impact: maltreated
children exposed to as many as 6 additional risks face a 90 - 100 %
likelihood of having one or more delays in their cognitive, language, or emotional development.

Early interventions to promote the health and well - being
of children have been shown to help mitigate the negative consequences
of child maltreatment and have long - term positive effects on the health
of maltreated
children.5 Services are required that provide support to families as soon as they need it, and provide early permanency decisions.6 Interventions that exhibit these characteristics are most likely to improve
children's mental health and well - being and reduce health and societal costs over the long term through increased
likelihood that
children will have higher educational achievements, successful lives and be less likely to be dependent on the state.
