Description

Tackling the "wicked" and intransigent problems encountered by social workers, educators, health care workers, and others, Transforming Child Welfare examines systematic issues within the child welfare system, including child abuse, neglect, and FASD. Reflecting on previous strengths, and integrating research and practice, the contributors to this volume provide professionals with best practice solutions that can be applied in different contexts.
