Through viewing the "Global Children's Initiative" I gained much information in respect to international initiatives in response to children's health and development. One initiative with wonderful insight is the "Children in Crisis and Conflict Situations". This initiative focuses on the extensive experience in working with emergency situations and managing the well-being of children whether the crisis is due to a natural disaster or man-made crisis. Through this initiative focusing on children that may be subject to malnutrition is the mere focus. The "Child Mental Health" initiative concerns on significant issues and implications for problems within and across the country in bridging the gap in developing and evaluating family based strategies to prevent mental health problems in children. Lastly, in the "Early Childhood Development" segment, the efforts to expanding effective interventions to improve preschool quality are one of the main focal points.
I found this information enlightening due to never fully realizing the growing number of natural disasters and how the percentage of children suffering from malnutrition is becoming a leading concern with child development.
