What are child abuse and neglect?
Child abuse is the mistreatment of a child under the age of 18 by: 

  • A parent or their romantic partner;

  • An immediate relative or someone living in their home;

  • A caretaker such as a babysitter or daycare worker; or

  • Any person responsible for the child’s welfare, such as a health care provider, educator, coach or youth program volunteer. 

The mistreatment can either result in injury or put the child at serious risk of injury. Child abuse can be physical (i.e. bruises or broken bones), sexual (i.e. fondling or incest), or mental (emotional injury or psychological illness). 
Neglect is the failure of a parent or caretaker to meet “minimal parenting” standards for providing adequate supervision, food, clothing, medical care, shelter or other basic needs. (Adopted from DCFS index.aspx)

The Church Notes Pad: For the Avid Notetaker Committed to Growth and Personal Accountability

​

Faith is a powerful avenue for healing, growth, and transformation. The Church Notes Pad was created with that in mind—for the churchgoer who understands that spiritual reflection is an essential part of emotional and mental well-being. Rooted in the understanding that spiritual practices can foster cognitive clarity, emotional regulation, and personal insight, this guided journal provides a space to process sermons, capture themes from worship, and articulate internal responses to spiritual messages.

​

For many clients, integrating faith into therapeutic work promotes meaning-making and resilience. This tool invites users to reflect on what God may be requiring of them in the present and future, making it an ideal complement to spiritually integrated psychotherapy. It can be used independently or alongside clinical support as a bridge between spiritual life and emotional healing.
