An increasing number of families are becoming homeless, often as a
result of domestic violence, which leaves women and their school
age children without homes. This multidisciplinary volume is the
first to look at the variety of problems encountered by this group
and to propose strategies for managing those problems. The
contributors to this book provide evidence that homeless children
often have more acute problems and needs than other children; as a
result of the insecurity of their situation, they may experience
physical health problems and developmental delay. They are also at
high risk of emotional and behavioral difficulties such as sleep
disturbance, eating problems, aggression, over-activity, anxiety,
depression and self-harm. At the same time, due to their unstable
situation, they are less able to access support from the health,
education and social services. Homeless Children is divided into
two parts. Part I defines the specific problems and needs of
homeless children, and draws up practical guidelines for staff and
agencies on recognizing and dealing with those problems. Part II
looks at policy and service development for homeless families in
education, health and social care, and concludes that conventional
methods of provision have to be adapted to meet the specific needs
of this vulnerable group.
