In the textbook readings and presentation for this module, you learn about the effects and outcomes of child maltreatment. Childhood today is very different than it was even 50 years ago. More and more children are growing up in a frightening world that is lonely and even unsafe. There is a critical need for both the church body and qualified mental health professionals to work with maltreated children and to help them navigate the unfathomable waters of their experiences. For the current discussion, address the following 2 issues in your thread:

1. There are severalbiopsychosocialfactors that contribute to the development of childhood and family problems. Choose 1 of these factors, describe it, and, using scriptural support, discuss at least 1 way that it could be addressed effectively by the church community.
2. In your reading and study, several treatment and intervention strategies for Trauma andStressor-Related Disorders are discussed. Choose 1 of these strategies, describe it, and explain whether or not it is a biblically-supported practice to care for children who have experienced maltreatment.
