Stopping the Cycle of Abuse: Welcome to the Home Start Blog

By: Jennifer Personette

There are many types of child abuse. And not all of them are violent.
Neglect, sexual, physical, psychological. 

There are many factors that can lead to abuse:
  • Parents were abused as children
  • Lack of parenting skills
  • Stress: financial, relationship, work, child has difficult behavior
  • Parent suffers from mental illness
  • Parent to a child with a disability
  • Abusive intimate partners

Home Start treats the entire family. Preventing the factors that lead to abuse through in-home care, teaching, and many other services.
