What is It
Protective Factors for Intentional Injuries
Protective factors are those conditions or characteristics that reduce risks and
promote healthy development and well-being of children, youth, and families. In simpler
words, they are considered positive counter measures which help the children, youth and
families to build resilience, to be progressive in terms of skills, character, and knowledge
development and also advocate for a social relationship that lessens risk exposure
contributing to both short and long-term positive outcomes.
Prevention always requires an extensive understanding of the underlying factors
influencing violence. Therefore, the ultimate goal is to stop violence before it can even begin.
There are five protective factors shown to increase family strengths, enhance the
child development, and reduce the risk of child abuse and neglect.
