Race plays a pivotal role in the experiences of children in the child welfare system. This book offers mental health professionals insights and recommendations for supporting children of color in the child welfare system.
Children of color face increased developmental and clinical challenges as a result of their experiences in the child welfare system. These challenges include a decline in their immediate and long-term academic and educational progress, an increased likelihood of entering the juvenile justice system, and an increased likelihood of being dissatisfied with counseling and other support services received while in out-of-home placements. By understanding the challenges that these children face, as well as best practices for supporting them, professionals in the child welfare system can improve outcomes for these children.
Children of Color in the Child Welfare System is 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.
