The purpose of this book is to encourage child and youth workers, across the range of different areas of work, to engage in family work that is grounded in practice and theory and is meaningful to the daily life experiences of "doing" child and youth care. The goal of this book is to help front line practitioners and family support workers to better understand the basic dynamics of family work. A Guide to Developing Effective Child & Youth Care Interventions with Families continues to be an excellent volume for guiding students, practitioners, educators and others in developing their Child and Youth Care family practice knowledge and skills.
