Abstract

Child maltreatment, although defined and measured somewhat differently in the United States and South Africa, presents social workers and others with opportunities for working cross-culturally to increase understanding of this problem and to improve assessment and intervention. This article describes a long-term multi-project collaboration between the University of the Western Cape in Cape Town, South Africa, and the University of Missouri-St. Louis in the United States that has benefited both campuses and their communities.
