Current statistics on child abuse, neglect, poverty, and hunger
shock the conscience-doubly so as societal structures set up to
assist families are failing them. More than ever, the
responsibility of the helping professions extends from aiding
individuals and families to securing social justice for the larger
community. With this duty in clear sight, the contributors to Child
and Family Advocacy assert that advocacy is neither a dying art nor
a lost cause but a vital platform for improving children's lives
beyond the scope of clinical practice. This uniquely practical
reference builds an ethical foundation that defines advocacy as a
professional competency and identifies skills that clinicians and
researchers can use in advocating at the local, state and federal
levels. Models of the advocacy process coupled with first-person
narratives demonstrate how professionals across disciplines can
lobby for change. Among the topics discussed: Promoting children's
mental health: collaboration and public understanding. Health
reform as a bridge to health equity. Preventing child maltreatment:
early intervention and public education Changing juvenile justice
practice and policy. A multi-level framework for local policy
development and implementation. When evidence and values collide:
preventing sexually transmitted infections. Lessons from the
legislative history of federal special education law. Child and
Family Advocacy is an essential resource for researchers,
professionals and graduate students in clinical child and school
psychology, family studies, public health, developmental
psychology, social work and social policy.
