Abstract
The purpose of this concluding chapter is to reflect on what we have learned regarding the promotion of family wellness and the prevention of child maltreatment (fundamentals for thinking). In addition, this chapter focuses on what can be done to enhance Canada’s ability to improve the lives of children (fundamentals for action). In so doing, we consider key themes that we have identified throughout the book. Some of these themes relate to our conceptual framework that we described in Chapter 1 and that we have used throughout the book, while other themes have emerged over the course of this project.
