Reach children and families and help them navigate the child
welfare system
Case planning is one of the fundamental steps in working with
dependent children, yet it is also one of the most challenging.
Essentials of Child Welfare presents the key information clinical
social workers, child advocates, family law attorneys, and other
human services personnel need to work successfully with children
and families in the child welfare system.
Essentials of Child Welfare is packed with step-by-step guidelines
for intervening proactively with foster care children and their
caretakers. Techniques are presented for handling a number of
related topics, including attachment issues, substance abuse,
sexual abuse (victim and perpetrator), suicidal ideation, eating
disorders, learning disabilities, juvenile delinquency, domestic
abuse, and many more.
As part of the Essentials of Social Work Practice series, this book
offers a concise yet thorough overview of child welfare, numerous
tips for best practices, and a prioritized assembly of all the
information and techniques that must be at one’s fingertips to
practice knowledgeably, effectively, and ethically. Each concise
chapter features numerous callout boxes highlighting key concepts,
bulleted points, and extensive illustrative material, as well as
‘Test Yourself’ questions that help you gauge and reinforce your
grasp of the information covered.
