Guest lectures were held throughout the year at several different academic institutions in Israel, with the objective of exposing students to various fields of knowledge related to maltreated children, such as criminology, OT and education. Professionals in different therapeutic fields encounter at-risk and abused children, but are unaware of how to identify and help them. The purpose of these lectures is to familiarize students with this phenomenon prior to their becoming professionals, raising their awareness and teaching them basic skills necessary, and to serve as an introduction to future studies in the field.
