Children of Color in the Child Welfare System (häftad, eng)

This book offers mental health professionals insights and recommendations for supporting children of color in the child welfare system.

Race plays a pivotal role in the experiences of children in the child welfare system. Children of color are more likely to enter the system, stay in the system longer, and receive fewer services while they are in it.

As a result, they are more likely to face a decline in their immediate and long-term academic and educational progress, more likely to enter the juvenile justice system, and less likely to be satisfied with counseling and other support services they receive while in out-of-home placements.

This book offers the crucial insights and key recommendations that mental health professionals need to support children of color in the child welfare system.

By understanding the challenges that children of color face in the system, as well as best practices for supporting them, professionals in the child welfare system can improve outcomes. The book will be an essential resource for researchers, counselors and clinicians who work in the child welfare system, as well as those designing interventions to help children and their families.
