Youth and Family Services (YFS) are part of residential and group
homes, schools, social service organizations, hospitals, and family
court systems. YFS include prevention, education, positive youth
development, foster care, child welfare, and treatment. As YFS has
evolved advances in research have brought forth a host of promising
new ideas that both complement and expand on the original
underpinnings of strengths-based practice. Thriving on the Front
Lines represents an articulation of these advancements. Thriving on
the Front Lines explores the use of strengths-based practices with
those who are "in the trenches," Youth Care Worker (YCWs). Commonly
referred to as resident counselors, youth counselors, psychiatric
technicians (psych techs), caseworkers, case managers, and house
parents or managers, YCWs are on the "front lines," often providing
services 24 hours a day. Thriving on the Front Lines is an
up-to-date treatise on the pivotal role of YCWs and those who work
day in and day out with youth to improve their well-being,
relationships, and overall quality of life. Unique aspects of the
strengths-based framework provided in Thriving on the Front Lines
include: Strengths-based principles informed by five decades of
research; Discussion of the importance of using real-time feedback
to improve service outcomes and "how to" implement an
outcome-orientation; Exploration of Positive Youth Development; Two
chapters devoted entirely to strengths-based interventions; An
in-depth discussion of how to improve effectiveness through
deliberate practice; and, How to develop a strengths-based
organizational climate.
