Editing Abuse prevention program

{{Notability|date=March 2025}}
An '''abuse prevention program''' is a social program designed to help [[parent]]s and [[teacher]]s recognize the signs of violence in an [[Child abuse|abused child]] and teaches how to explain abuse protection to them. These programs also help children in establishing [[self-esteem]].

An alternate definition of '''abuse prevention programme''' describes those projects which identify risk indicators such as [[poverty]], poor housing, inadequate educational facilities etc. and aim to reduce the impact of such indicators, either through social reform or through developing parents and children's coping strategies.
