This collection presents creative strategies and programs designed
to address needs of families in the context of rural communities.
Even before the most recent worldwide economic crisis, many rural
families in the United States struggled to meet basic needs. As
needs in rural communities have expanded, services have shrunk.
This book identifies rural families' needs, including social
supports during pregnancy, identification of adolescent risk
behaviours, child safety, and basic services such as food and
health care, using techniques such as Geographic Information
Systems and needs and asset assessments. Strategies to address
those needs include program development, the use of technology, and
community partnerships. The book reminds readers of the sense of
independence and self-reliance found in many rural communities and
the theme of diversity within rural communities runs throughout the
book. The chapters are organized by identification of the needs of
rural families, addressing disparities in rural areas, practice in
rural communities, and human service organizations and
professionals. Through research, practice, and creative works, the
book contributes to a greater understanding of ways that service
providers can advance their work with rural families and broaden
their perspectives about realities experienced by families living
in rural communities. This book was originally published as a
special issue of the Journal of Family Social Work.
