Description:

Part of Strategies for Foster and Group Home Care Trilogy

Today's group home staff comprise the front lines of society's attempts to help troubled children assimilate back into our communities.

The aim of A Handbook for the Group Home Worker is to provide the reader with effective strategies for supervising group home children, emphasizing a team approach.

Part I - outlines and discusses issues relating to coming on shift.

Facility walk-through, safety and supervision of residents, developing a routine, reporting requirements, and staff meetings are highlighted.

Part II - reviews long-term placement issues including staff-to-resident relationships, peer relations, physical and emotional health, and family contacts. Discussions of staff burnout and measuring success in residential care complete the text.

A united staff is essential to treating today's group home children. We need well-trained and committed staff, now!
