On February 15th, Rachel, Rei and I headed out to a downtown elementary public school to watch CAPP’s child abuse prevention puppet show. We were going to be watching it with third and fourth graders, and I found how it was very interesting how the children interpreted the information. The puppet show was directed around…
Our group traveled to the New York Foundling building to meet with Marion White, the Senior Program Director, Trevor Raushi, Kylie, and Laura Isherwood of the Child Abuse Prevention Program. We learned about how CAPP taught children about intense topics like sexual and physical abuse without traumatizing them. They created a fun puppet show to teach…
On this fieldwork, we met with various people who were part of the World Childhood Foundation at their NYC headquarters. We spoke to Joanna Rubinstein and Nicole Epps, and we had previously met with them two times in the past. Talking to Joanna, who is the president and CEO of Childhood, and Nicole, who is…

We also met the CEO of the organization Joanna Rubinstein as well on this meeting. It felt really nice and familiar to see…

We interviewed a child abuse survivor (for confidentiality reasons, they will not be named) in a private room in our school, and it was so different than any other interview we had ever done. When we had interviews with social workers and advocates, it…
Our second interview we did was with the NY Center for Children Sarah McNamara, the senior social worker there. This organization works to provide therapy, medical, and recreational services to abused children. It is a non-for-profit organization, and a large amount of its budget comes from donations. When we arrived, we sat in a waiting…
