Interventions with Children and Youth

Written specifically for Canadians, Interventions with Children and Youth provides an introduction to the structural and strengths-based approach to working with at-risk children and youth. The book develops the skills required to practise effective helping relationships with at-risk children and youth, while weaving discussions of class, cultural analysis, and Aboriginal issues throughout. The book's approach is interdisciplinary and integrates information from Canadian medical, psychological, and educational sources, which is an approach that reflects the way social workers and child and youth care workers practise their craft.
