Dr. Harriet MacMillan, an expert on child maltreatment including physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect, believes that communities have to be involved in ways to improve the life of all their kids and that the top-down approach is not going to work without the community’s involvement. MacMillan, who is director of the Offord Centre for Child Studies Advocacy and Assessment Program, is also studying Aboriginal health including the assessment of health of Aboriginal children, youth and adults living on reserves in Canada.
