This book was released on 2003-11-26 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book bridges the gap between social work knowledge and empirically based practice. Although there is a significant need for the use of empirically tested and verified knowledge in social work practice, the empirical basis of support is nearly absent from practitioners'considerations as they make clinical decisions in routine practice. The authors advocate the development of readily available, accessible, and professionally sanctioned practice guidelines for use by practitioners, a necessity in the age of managed care and demands for greater accountability, effectiveness, and efficiency in practice. This book features a much-needed discussion of racial and ethnic differentials in relation to practice guidelines and on the relationship between practice guidelines and different aspects of service delivery.

This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Train—and keep—a child welfare workforce that will make a difference! Charting the Impacts of University-Child Welfare Collaboration addresses the challenges of implementing workforce development initiatives designed to recruit students into the public child welfare field. Edited by Dr. Katharine Briar-Lawson, Dean of the School of Social Welfare at the University at Albany in New York, and Dr. Joan Levy Zlotnik, PhD, ACSW, Executive Director of the Institute for the Advancement of Social Work Research, the book reflects the ongoing effort to counteract the “de-professionalization” phase of the 1970s and 80s that has impeded child welfare service delivery. A panel of practitioners, educators, and researchers focus on training and administrative funding, collaborative practices, delivery of educational content, preparation challenges faced by educators, and future challenges. Charting the Impacts of University-Child Welfare Collaboration examines strategies for specialized educational efforts supported by federal Title IV-E and Title IV-B Section 426 funding. The book addresses the process for preparing and maintaining a professional workforce, including collaborations between social work educators and their partnering public child welfare agencies that have led to experimental and innovative changes in practice and curricula. Topics include: determining a graduate's emotion capacity for child welfare service delivering educational content in human behavior in the social environment courses determining the return on funding investments using cognitive-affective models of student development using design teams to promote practice innovations, systems change, and cross-systems change and an examination of the California Collaboration, a competency-based child welfare curriculum project for MSW candidates. Charting the Impacts of University-Child Welfare Collaboration is an essential resource for continuing the campaign for workforce development and re-professionalism in child welfare practice. The book is invaluable for educators and professionals working to develop reliable, relevant, and competent staffing.

Download or read book Developing Community Schools, Community Learning Centers, Extended-service Schools and Multi-service Schools written by Hal A. Lawson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-14 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on special organizational configurations for schools in diverse parts of the world. Some of these new organizational and institutional designs are called multi-service schools, others are called extended service schools and still others are called community learning centers. While these schools have different names and notable different characteristics, they belong in the same category because of a common feature in their design: they connect schools with once-separate community programs and services.Chief among the prototypes for these new organizational and institutional designs are the ones featured in the book’s title. Some are called multi-service schools to indicate that they selectively provide some new programs and services. Others are called extended service schools to indicate that they serve young people beyond the regular school day, seeking influence and control over out-of-school time while enabling alternative teaching-learning strategies, and providing services other than typical “pupil support services.” Still others are called community learning centers, a name that showcases the educational functions and priorities of schools and announcing priorities for adult learning and development. Community schools, still called in some places full-service community schools, serves as a prototype that increasingly positions schools as multi-purpose, multi-component, anchor institutions serving identifiable neighborhoods and entire rural communities. The book is structured to enhance understanding of these organizational prototypes and provides comparative social analysis. It also identifies knowledge needs and gaps as well as developmental territory for the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The highly individualistic people of North America have always had common experiences that united them. From the Boston Commons to Banff National Park, the people in these accounts sought support and renewal in these shared places and events. Ceremonies support partnerships today as they have in the past. The music partnership where the orchestra plays the 1812 Overture and the cannon on the hill in Kingston, Ontario is fired is discussed in Chapter 6. The musical celebrations represent the achievements of a dedicated group maintaining a partnership of musicians and teachers. Other partnerships reach across boundaries to achieve what would never have been expected before founding the new partnerships.

The collaborative undertakings include working with community agencies, other schools or colleges within or external to the institution, P-12 schools, and business groups. The rationale for the theme is that in today's world the problems we are facing are so complex that solutions can no longer be generated and successfully implemented in a vacuum. Cross-disciplinary and cross-sector collaboration is required to have the desired impact. This necessitates collaboration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, child welfare agencies and social work programs in more than 40 states have come together to address recruitment and retention issues by preparing social work students for child welfare practice—and to enhance the delivery of child welfare services. This book documents the outcomes of these partnerships to help you assess their value and sustainability! Evaluation Research in Child Welfare: Improving Outcomes Through University-Public Agency Partnerships is a critical examination of the diverse outcomes—and strategies for assessing them—of university/public child welfare agency partnerships designed to prepare social work students for public child welfare practice. This informative book addresses outcomes of these specialized training efforts which were supported by federal Title IV-E and Title IV-B Section 426 funds. Special attention is paid to programs addressing diversity and cultural competence through staff development. The book follows the process of tracking the career paths of students in several states (large and small, rural and urban), as well as cross-state collaborations that include university, agency, consumer, and student partnerships. From the Editors: “Rising drug problems such as crack and cocaine addiction, along with co-occurring challenges such as poverty, domestic violence, and mental health issues, have helped to reinforce the need to have the most effective services delivered by the most well-prepared staff. Moreover, such challenges compel the most relevant, scientifically based approaches, requiring a closer connection of public child welfare systems to social work education programs and related academic disciplines. The articles featured in this book serve as progress markers for this re-professionalization initiative. They constitute snapshots of some of the current progress in workforce development, including social work based education, training, and capacity building in public child welfare. They also reflect social work/public child welfare partnerships and the lessons that are being learned when the research, educational, and service resources of schools of social work are harnessed to build a better trained work force that can provide improved services.” In this informative book, you'll find a national overview of historical efforts to promote professional social work practice in child welfare, as well as examinations of: special challenges presented by privatized systems curricula and agencies training opportunities that grow from research partnerships the importance and impact of racial and ethnic diversity for future social workers the cultural competency needs of BSW and MSW students the differing cultural perspectives of universities and agencies—which must be bridged to create successful partnerships the benefits of these partnerships in terms of outcomes for students, clients, agencies, and social work education programs

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As human needs have escalated in recent years, the mismatch between these needs and the restrictive, categorical definition of human services has become strikingly clear. In response, educators, nurses, social workers, public health workers, and other professionals have been actively exploring ways to collaborate with one another, and otherwise integrate their efforts. The movement towards collaboration among human services professionals begs an important questions: how do we prepare professionals for such work? A growing number of universities are now trying to develop answers, and their answers increasingly emphasize interprofessional education, that is, programs that join the efforts of departments and training courses which have traditionally been separate. Furthermore, these programs tend to be based in community settings, and actively involved community members (practitioners, non-professional residents) as partners in the training process. In constructing such joint programs (or revisingcurrent programs within each profession to make them more interprofessional and community-based), educators and program designers are encountering a fascinating set of challenges as they construct interdisciplinary curricula, create learning experiences that necessitate real collaboration, and develop relationships with communities. Preparing to Collaborate explores the nature of these challenges and how they can be approached. The authors -- scholars and educators in five professional domains (education, nursing, social work, public health, and public policy and management) -- joined forces in a five-year developmental effort at the University of Washington (UW) to create sustainablepartnerships between university and community which will help newly entering professionals in the human services collaborate effectively with each other and with community members.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child psychiatrists and psychologists, clinical nurses, social workers, and other mental health practitioners working in the public sector -- where limited funds, poverty, social environments, and bureaucracy add to the daily challenges -- can now turn to Community Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for approaches and insights to make their work easier and more productive.Twenty chapters are divided into four main sections, where 31 seasoned clinicians and administrators detail the most useful tasks, strategies, and tactics for child and family-focused community mental health professionals: Multiple facets of public sector agency work with or consultation to community agencies from the major mental health disciplines employed in community settings, differentiating roles and responsibilities and detailing consultation phases, including pitfalls Basic community practice principles and issues commonly faced by public sector professionals, including particular types of agencies and differences between rural and urban practice Contemporary concerns about the impact of a managed care or cost-cutting environment on service delivery, including reimbursement, differentiating consultation from direct service, and the location of a system of care Descriptions of the setting or activity of each community agency, including the qualifications that allow the professional or trainee to enter and work in that system Practicalities of clinical practice or consultation or both in community settings in the current service environment Questions -- from differing perspectives -- that mental health care practitioners must consider before consulting to or assuming a staff or administrative position in a community agency, different types of demands -- and discussion of/for each role Managed care has forever altered the service system landscape of mental health care in both the private and public sectors. Community Child and Adolescent Psychiatry provides insight into the public system of care and the requisite tools to manage the rapidly changing clinical, political, and administrative landscape. As a resource guide to the profession, Community Child and Adolescent Psychiatry emphasizes the practical necessities of child psychiatrists and other professionals working with mentally ill youngsters and their families in the practice of community psychiatry and public mental health. Trainees, practitioners, and administrators alike will welcome this indispensable road-map to a higher level of practice in community settings.
