Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The evolution of practice research can be viewed as a 21st century development. As it will be defined and illustrated in this volume, it has been influenced by multiple forces. One of these forces is represented by the wave of interest in evidence-based practice that prioritizes the use of rigorous scientific methods in the form of random control trials (RCT) in order to determine service effectiveness. In particular, the central role played by the concept of "fidelity" to the procedures required to guarantee outcomes similar to those demonstrated in multiple RCT studies has generated concerns among researchers and human service practitioners attempting to take into account the diverse needs of service users and the diverse capacities of service providers. These developments have generated renewed interest in qualitative methods and what Flyvbjerg (2001) calls "the science of the concrete" that is defined in the first chapter. We view practice research as a form of evidence-informed practice that involves a wide array of research designs and methods, in contrast to the narrower emphasis on experimental designs that characterizes evidence-based practice"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern family life raises tough questions: Who should be responsible for children's daily care? How can their financial support be fairly allocated between parents? Should extended family members be paid for their help? Can women have full careers and also be good mothers? In Raising Children, leading scholars take on these questions and more in order to critically assess policy responses to the changing needs of the modern family. As parents struggle to balance professional and personal demands, choose schools for their children, and sort through constantly updated medical and psychological information, they need help from public officials who can make policies that realistically address childrearing's contemporary challenges. The insightful contributions in this volume provide an excellent starting point for understanding these thorny, multifaceted issues, skillfully framing the influences on child development, such as altered family dynamics, major life changes like immigration, and the role of schools and government in children's health. Adoption by same-sex couples, difficulties for immigrant children, the ADHD diagnosis controversy, and public intervention for at-risk children are only a few of the topics covered. With society in a constant state of flux, it is critically important that we assess our family and child policies to ensure that they provide families with the assistance they need. Drawing on the rich interdisciplinary work of the Berkeley Center for Child and Youth Policy, this is an eye-opening look at some of the biggest issues facing the family today, which are as complex as they are vital to address in a thoughtful way.

Book excerpt: Foster homes are limited and there are not enough placements to meet the needs of local children and youth in the foster care system. Over the last few years as foster homes have dwindled, more and more foster children have had to be placed in foster homes out of county, away from their communities, their schools and their families. There is a fundamental need for recruitment and retention of foster care placements. Other counties in California have been successful in implementing foster parent recruitment that has generated enough foster homes to meet their needs for placements. One such program has been able to place more of their foster children in the county and is placing far less of their foster children in homes outside of the county. This project will explore successful lessons learned in the recruitment and retention of foster families through the interview of the creator and director of the program.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This non-traditional dissertation researches and reports on the recruitment, training, support, and retention of kinship and non-kinship foster/adoptive families in the state of Idaho and the United States. Three studies are presented: Chapter 3: Identified Gaps and Strengths in Recruitment, Resources, Training, and Support Provided to Foster/Adoptive Families in the United States Impacting Retention and Child Welfare Outcomes; Chapter 4: An Empirical-Based Comparative Evaluation of the Recruitment and Pre-Service Training of Kinship and Non-Kinship Foster/Adoptive Families in Idaho; and Chapter 5: An Empirical-Based Evaluation of the Pre-Service Training and Retention of Kinship and Non-Kinship Foster/Adoptive Families in Idaho. Key findings of the three studies include: "Negative child welfare outcomes witnessed as the result of gaps in resources, supports, and training provided by the child welfare system include children being abused in foster homes, children's needs not being met, foster parents quitting, and it is very hard to recruit foster parents" (Delphi participant, 2005); a significant high rate of foster/adoptive parent retention rates when they feel supported, are well prepared through training, and are included as members of the professional child welfare team; and that the Foster PRIDE/Adopt PRIDE pre-service training and resource family development program provides a standardized, structured, and effective framework for recruiting, preparing, selecting, and retaining kinship and non-kinship foster and adoptive families in the state of Idaho.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The project gathered the perspectives of current licensed foster parents in Del Norte County in regards to factors effecting recruitment, retention and support of foster parents by both social workers and in the community. Telephonic interviews were conducted with county licensed foster parents to gain a better understanding of their experience with becoming and continuing to be licensed to provide care for children. The information gathered from the interviews was placed in six categories; reasons behind becoming a foster parent, rewards of foster parenting, challenges to being a foster parent, barriers to licensure, relationship with agency staff and training . The survey information serves as a starting point for future work in improving the recruitment and retention efforts for foster parents in rural Del Norte County.

This book details for prospective foster parents the requirements, qualifications and screening process. Step by step, foster parents are guided through the crucial decisions and directed to the vital information they will need to foster parent effectively. Foster Parent Handbook provides an indispensible guide for navigating through the foster care system. It is designed for use by prospective foster parents, those who are currently foster parents and professionals providing foster care services.

This book was released on 2004-01-09 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Handbook of Interventions that Work with Children and Adolescents, considers evidence-based practice to assess the developmental issues, aetiology, epidemiology, assessment, treatment, and prevention of child and adolescent psychopathology. World-leading contributors provide overviews of empirically validated intervention and prevention initiatives. Arranged in three parts, Part I lays theoretical foundations of “treatments that work” with children and adolescents. Part II presents the evidence base for the treatment of a host of behaviour problems, whilst Part III contains exciting prevention programs that attempt to intervene with several child and adolescent problems before they become disorders. This Handbook presents encouraging evidence that we can intervene successfully at the psychosocial level with children and adolescents who already have major psychiatric disorders and, as importantly, that we can even prevent some of these disorders from occurring in the first place.
