It also includes neglect, sexual abuse and emotional abuse.
Most child abuse occurs in the home.
There are a number of ways the community can reduce the number of children being abused daily. Health Ministry Team Project will host a seminar Saturday, April 28, designed to help strengthen the relationship between you and the children in your life. It is the responsibility of each member in the community to ensure that every child has a quality life. You can help by assisting a friend, neighbor or relative if they are having difficulty with their child. Get involved in local efforts to help families in need.
