For the past couple weeks I have been learning about
the Children Defense Fund. I have learned some very interesting things. The
Children Defense Fund as a program called the Student Health Outreach. This
program helps graduates and undergraduates to train in community services such
as insurance and health care for families and children. This can help with my
professional development because I can get a chance to move up and be a speaker
and advocate for these families not only in the classroom but other places as
well.
I know poverty is huge around the world but after
looking at resources like the Children Defense Fund it is help out there. As
professionals we need to help our families to find these resources and let them
know there are programs and organizations that can help. Parents may not have access to this resources so that is when we step in to help. We must be that voice for our children.
The Children’s Defense Fund works with many children
to help them out of poverty and protect them from abuse and neglect. “The Children's Defense Fund has
challenged the United States to raise its standards by improving policies and
programs for children” (Children
Defense Fund, 2010). “Over the years, they have become known for careful research
on children’s survival, protection and development in all racial and income
groups and for independent analyses of how federal and state policies affect
children, their families and their communities. We let the public know how
effectively their elected officials stand up for children” (Children Defense Fund, 2010).
