OCTOBER IS DOMESTICVIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH. Ninety percent of youth in the childwelfare system report having been exposed to at least one traumatic event in their life. Each traumatic event can cause invisible wounds that can change how a child develops. Many have experienced more.
People were asked things like whether, as a child, they had witnessed domesticviolence, whether they felt no one in their family made them feel important or special or whether they “didn’t have enough to eat, had to wear dirty clothes, and had no one to protect you.” ACEs have become quite the fad.
Therapist : Clinical social workers provide therapy to individuals, couples, and families, addressing mental health and emotional challenges. ChildWelfare Specialist : Social workers in this role focus on the safety and well-being of children, often within the context of child protective services or foster care systems.
In social work, various articles cover topics such as social work articles on mental health, social work articles on domesticviolence, social work articles on learning disabilities, medical social work articles, school social work articles and clinical social work articles. Some of these articles are free to access.
The Complaint filed by the Family Justice Law Center , the New York University School of Law Family Defense Clinic and two private law firms – especially the introductory section – reads like great journalism. Scoppetta , which curbed the practice of taking children from survivors of domesticviolence prove that.
But today’s post focuses on one particularly jarring vignette–the story of a mother, her seven children, and a van–and what it means about how childwelfare policy is made and discussed today. David Reed, the Deputy Director of ChildWelfare Services in Indiana, introduced the story of this family in his testimony.
The story begins this way: Growing up Latino in Massachusetts carries a greater risk of entering the foster system than anywhere else in the nation, and for those who end up in foster homes — as well as those who are the subject of childwelfare investigations — the consequences can be devastating. Please, Mommy.
The cruelty in question: Childwelfares attempt to eradicate Native America. New York University School of Law profiles the role of NYUs pioneering Family Defense Clinic in a big recent victory: an appellate court decision barring the citys family police agency from harassing domesticviolence survivors and their children.
