Protective Homes and Children's Mental Health

Children represent a very big and important section of our population. Children are also considered as the most vulnerable section of the society because of their dependence on others and lack of control over their own lives. Children who are given full opportunities for growth and development and are reared in a safe and protective environment, develop as healthy individuals in terms of physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual well- being. Contrary to this developing in an insecure environment affects the child¿s normal emotional, social and cognitive development. Despite these rights and a number of child welfare programs, policies and law initiatives, millions of children today continue to live in difficult circumstances. These children are leading a life of social exclusion. The very survival of these children is an issue of grave concern because even the basic needs of these children are not fulfilled. Insecure attachment patterns and a lack of a stable and secure base make these children even more vulnerable and increase the risk of developing various problems. These children are looking for the attention of policy makers, as well as, of the society.
