Download or read book Kinship Care written by Rob Geen and published by The Urban Insitute. This book was released on 2003 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1980s, states child welfare agencies' use of relatives as foster parents has grown rapidly, yet little information is available on this practice. This lack of information has made it difficult to evaluate how well kinship care ensures children's safety, promotes permanency in their living situation, and enhances their well-being--three basic goals of the child welfare system. Kinship Care: Making the Most of a Valuable Resource sheds light on this changing issue. Using a study involving focus groups of child welfare workers and kinship caregivers, in addition to interviews with local administrators, advocates, and service providers, the authors describe frontline kinship care practices in today's system. They also examine how and when child welfare agencies use kin as foster parents, how their approach to kinship care differs from traditional foster care, and how kinship care practices vary across states. The book also features the experiences of actual kinship foster parents, their challenges, and their interaction with agencies and the courts. Finally, the book provides recommendations for policy development, worker and caregiver training, and issues for further research.

Book Synopsis Foster Parent Strengths by : Lisa Rix
Download or read book Foster Parent Strengths written by Lisa Rix and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trends from across the nation are that there is a shortage of foster parents for the number of children in foster care. In a rural northern California county, it is typically a struggle to find a place for children removed from their homes to be placed by the Child Welfare agency, even for an overnight situation. Many times, the family does not have relatives or close friends that are able to take children, and become approved to do so in a timely, emergent manner. This master's project examines how foster parents identify their strengths so that a rural northern county in California can start recruiting and retaining foster parents for their strengths. Recruitment is often a challenge, but retaining good, competent foster parents is an essential way to keep children safe and free from harm. Many times, people want to become foster parents to adopt children, and once they have adopted, are no longer foster parents. Overcoming this obstacle with recruitment efforts focused on strengths of existing foster parents will enhance overall retention within the system.

Book Synopsis Advocating for Children in Foster and Kinship Care by : Mitchell Rosenwald
Download or read book Advocating for Children in Foster and Kinship Care written by Mitchell Rosenwald and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-11 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to provide strategies for effective advocacy and placement within the foster care and kinship care systems. It also takes a rare look at the dynamics of the foster and kinship relationship, not just among children and the agency workers and service providers who intervene on their behalf, but also between children and those who take in and care for them as permanency develops. Drawing on their experience interacting with and writing about the institution of foster care, Mitchell Rosenwald and Beth N. Riley have composed a unique text that helps practitioners, foster parents, and relative caregivers realize successful transitions for youth, especially considering the traumas these children may suffer both before and after placement. Advocating for a child's best interests must begin early and remain consistent throughout assignment and adjustment. For practitioners, Rosenwald and Riley emphasize the best techniques for assessing a family's capabilities and for guiding families through the challenges of foster care. Part one details the steps potential foster parents and kinship caregivers must take, with the assistance of practitioners, to prepare themselves for placement. Part two describes tactics for successful advocacy within the court system, social service agencies, schools, and the medical and mental health establishments. Part three describes how to lobby for change at the agency and legislative levels, as well as within a given community. The authors illustrate recommendations through real-life scenarios and devote an entire chapter to brokering positive partnerships among practitioners, families, and other teams working to protect and transition children.
