Final thoughts: there were intervening factors for the approach of child violence in the Family Health Strategy, the (non-recognition of signs of child abuse), the barriers to establishing bonds with families and difficulties in interlocution in the care network. The strategies for coping with child violence were interprofessional work, holistic care, articulation with the intersectoral network and dialogue with the family. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
