China asks Israel to Help Fight Child Abuse
Israeli expertise in combating the phenomenon of child abuse is being exported to China for the first time.
This week a team from the Jerusalem-based Haruv Institute, which provides innovative training in identifying and fighting child abuse and neglect, is holding a five-day seminar for a group of 40 pediatricians from across China. The seminar is led by Dr. Yoram Ben Yehuda and Dr. Gabriel Otterman. Sanford R. Cardin, the president of the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, which supports the Haruv Institute, is also attending.
The seminar seeks to provide the pediatricians, who often serve as the front line in identifying child abuse, with new tools and clinical skills with a focus on early detection.
