Children in immigrant families represent nearly one-fourth of all
children living in the United States. As this population of
children has increased, so has their representation among children
involved in child welfare and related systems. Once immigrant
families come to the attention of these systems, they often have
multiple and complex needs that must be addressed to ensure
children's safety and well-being. Culturally competent practice
with Latino, Asian, and African immigrants requires that
professionals understand the impact of immigration and
acculturation on immigrant families to conduct adequate assessments
and provide interventions that respond appropriately to their
needs. Professionals also need to be familiar with federal and
state policies that affect immigrant families and how those
policies may affect service delivery. At the system level, child
welfare agencies need to educate and train a culturally competent
workforce that responds appropriately to children and families from
diverse cultures. This book addresses these critical issues and
provides recommendations for the development of culturally
competent assessment, intervention, and prevention activities in
child welfare agencies. This information can be used as a resource
by child welfare administrators, practitioners, and students to
improve the child welfare system's response to immigrant children
and families and promote culturally competent practice. This book
was published as a special issue of the Journal of Public Child
Welfare.
