Creating A Foundation: Principles Of Practice (Panel Presentation), Shepard Zeldin, Rebecca Lane, Lourdes Sullivan, Paul Watson, Wendy Wheeler

National Youth Leadership Symposium Monographs

If youth development is a profession, then it follows that the attitudes and skills needed by youth workers should be similar across specific program settings. This session explored this assumption by discussing the staff competencies needed for quality service delivery. First, lessons from ongoing "cross-program" research were discussed and then a panel composed of a variety of youth serving organization discussed similarities and differences in essential staff competencies.

Child Sexual Abuse: A Guide For Mandatory Reporters On Detecting And Reporting, Jill K. (Vaux) Bryant

Graduate Research Papers

School counselors, being mandatory reporters, are required to report the sexual abuse of children. Training is done according to state standards, and additional education may occur during the school counselor's graduate study. It is estimated that 90 % of all sexual abuse allegations are true (MacFarlane & Waterman 1986), but the American Humane Society (1986) reported that many states have substantiation rates lower than 50 % . Mandatory reporters are not supposed to be investigators. However, child protection workers will not or cannot investigate an allegation that does not meet their criteria. This creates a dilemma for both parties. It …

Family Preservation And Support: Past, Present, And Future, Katharine Hooper-Briar, Anne Broussard, John Ronnau, Alvin L. Sallee

Journal of Family Strengths

As the family preservation and support movement evolves rapidly, this article overviews the past, present and future of this approach to policy and services. Building upon several decades of practice experience and research, and now federally funded, program designers are searching for ways to implement system wide change with an array of services all from a family focus, and strengths perspective. Critical issues facing the movement are discussed and a set of benchmarks to judge our future success is presented.

Attributes Of A Profession, Anne Federlein

National Youth Leadership Symposium Monographs

This morning as we think of ourselves as professionals, we need to reflect on our training. Our training today, unfortunately, looks very much like the training most of us went through years ago. Yet we are living in a changing world. We are training students to be professionals in a world that you and I have never seen. We have absolutely no idea at this point what the year 2090 is going to look like because we are changing the face of all of our professions, even though we are all under this "youth leadership/ early childhood/human services" profession. In …

It is a pleasure to be here. I believe I had the honor of being here for the first Symposium, this is now the fourth. In addition, members of my staff have come to play various roles in the second and third symposia. So, I think we may have a relationship going that we will try to continue. The topic of the Symposium is a very critical one and I hope that in the next half hour to 45 minutes I can shed some light on why I think it is so important. The theme of this McElroy presentation is …

Intensive Family Reunification Services: A Conceptual Framework And Case Example, Elaine Walton, Mark W. Fraser, Catherine Harlin, Robert E. Lewis

Journal of Family Strengths

Recent federal mandates require child welfare agencies to make reasonable efforts to reunify families after out-of-home placement. Consistent with those mandates, agencies are increasingly employing techniques from family preservation services intended initially to prevent out-of-home placement. The purpose of this article is to articulate a conceptual framework and practice guidelines for family reunification services and to describe an experimental reunification program based on a family preservation model. A case example illustrates the way in which the services affected one family that participated in the experiment.

Rp443 How To Impact Public Policy For Families, Georgia L. Stevens

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials

Societal changes impact families. Changes in families affect the dynamics of society. These changes result in development of public policies that may or may not adequately respond to family concerns. Private sector (business) policies may also compound such effects. Like government, these private sector policies may or may not respond to family concerns. This publication will focus primarily on public sector policymaking and how citizens can influence these processes for families.

Legal Backlash: The Expanding Liabilty Of Women Who Fail To Protect Their Childrem From Their Male Counter Parts Abuse, Linda J. Panko

UC Law SF Journal on Gender and Justice

Although child abuse has existed for centuries in the United States, an increase in the number of reported incidents in recent years has spurred legislative and judicial response, primarily in the form of "failure-to protect" laws.2 Failure-to-protect laws impose liability upon parents, who have a duty to protect their child, when they fail to prevent abuse of the child at the hands of a known offender.3 Child abuse statutes generally appear in two forms: commission statutes,4 which are used to convict those who actually inflict abuse (active abusers), and omission statutes,S which criminalize the passive conduct of those who expose …

A Synthesis Of Research On Family Preservation And Family Reunification Programs, Julia H. Littell, John R. Schuerman

Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research Faculty Research and Scholarship

How effective are current efforts to preserve and reunify families in child welfare? In this paper we review research on programs aimed at preventing out-of-home placement of children, broader family preservation programs, and programs designed to reunify families with children in foster care.1 We examine what is known about the outcomes of these programs, relationships between service characteristics and outcomes, and the response of subgroups of clients to services.

Claims that family preservation programs result in substantial reductions in the placement of children are based largely on non-experimental studies. Such studies do not provide solid evidence of program effects. Evidence …

Problems And Prospects In Society's Response To Abuse And Neglect, John R. Schuerman, Julia H. Littell

Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research Faculty Research and Scholarship

This paper presents an analysis of the current situation in child welfare–the explosion of foster care caseloads, the proliferation of family preservation programs, and the principles underlying these approaches–and suggests new ways of thinking about reform of the child welfare system.

We begin with a review of the increase in out-of-home care. We then tum to an analysis of the three basic principles underlying the current child welfare system: permanency, least restrictive alternative, and reasonable efforts. We devote a major part of the paper to the family preservation programs that embody these principles. We describe what we perceive to be …
