Working with Children and Adolescents in Residential Care: A Strengths-Based Approach provides a practical framework for professionals dedicated to supporting youth in out of home placements. Published by Routledge, this book is designed for social services workers, child welfare and family court workers, educators, and mental health professionals. Instead of focusing solely on deficits, this text presents a method to positively impact the lives of young people within residential facilities. By focusing on the unique abilities and strengths of each individual, the book guides practitioners through every stage of the process. From the initial assessment phase of treatment through to successful discharge, readers learn how to implement a model that supports long term growth and stability for the children and adolescents they serve.
