Child Welfare: Policies and Best Practices (SW 360K Child Abuse and Neglect)

This groundbreaking book discusses both child welfare policy and child welfare practice and provides a fully integrated balance between the two. By using what research has proven to be the best-practice methods, 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. As they focus 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.Jannah Mather is the author of 'Child Welfare: Policies and Best Practices (SW 360K Child Abuse and Neglect)', published 2006 under ISBN 9780495004844 and ISBN 0495004847.
