Zusammenfassung:
Reclaims problems of ecological adversity - poverty, racism, housing instability, community disadvantage, food insecurity, and social disconnection - as central to understanding and working with system-involved children and families. Without attention to these issues, intervention is limited to reactive strategies that require children and families to fail before they can receive support. This book is a call for the field of human service to reconnect with the concrete realities of families' real circumstances and enlarge its focus to include practices that are truly ecologically-informed.
