Book excerpt: On top of the world with a great job as a nurse at a local hospital, Dahlia Wiseman enjoyed her single life and her accomplishments her job afforded her until the death of her father and meeting Willis Jackson inevitably changed her life. Three short years found Dahlia homeless and on drugs after losing the beautiful home she worked so hard for, along with her car and finally her job, but most importantly, the relationships she shared with her beloved sisters. Ultimately imprisoned, Dahlia's eight-year sting gives her plenty of time to reflect on her past mistakes and she vows to make amends. When it is all said and done, will Dahlia's decisions and life reflect life lessons learned and make a way for a renewed lease on life and the blessings of God?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social work with vulnerable adults is becoming increasingly centred on a key piece of legislation: the Mental Capacity Act. The Act provides a framework for protecting the vulnerable while allowing those who may lack capacity to have certain safeguards enshrined in law. This book will help support students to learn two things: first, how the Mental Capacity Act operates and what its key principles are when applied to safeguarding adults; and second, what are the compassionate skills and values that need to be interwoven with legislative knowledge? The authors show how these two principles interact and inform one another and how taking a person-centred approach to safeguarding vulnerable adults will mean better outcomes for the individual and our wider society.
