Description
Summary:This groundbreaking book discusses both child welfare policy and child welfare practice and provides a fully integrated balance between the two. This approach enables readers not only to understand policies and laws but also learn how to be an effective practitioner and advocate when working in a myriad of situations. By focusing on an approach with a multi-systemic view, readers learn how to prevent crisis situations-such as child abuse and neglect and family separation-rather than simply react to these issues.
