Describe three types of interventions with families and children that can make a difference in preventing maltreatment or treating maltreated children and the major results of these interventions

What will be an ideal response?

Home visits to high-risk (i.e., poor single mothers or pregnant women) families that are continued until the child reaches age 2 leads to a lower risk of child maltreatment.
Improving the mother-child attachment relationship improves the response to stress and normalize cortisol levels.
Psychoeducational interventions with mothers also reduce the rate of maltreatment and lead to normalization of cortisol levels.
