Support and Protection Across the Lifecourse [EPUB ebook] 
A Practical Approach for Social Workers

Crossing the traditional divide between social work with children and families and adults, this text applies a lifecourse perspective, within an ecological frame. Based on the principle that practice drives theory, a practical approach for social work is put forward using five interconnected themes: • duality of support and protection • life transitions and life events • intergenerational relations • civic partnership and engagement • health and wellbeing Designed for students and practitioners, this text takes an enquiry-based approach using Critical ART (analysis, reflection and thinking). The book features: • case studies • research examples • tips for Critical ART in practice • further reading and resources
