Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Homelessness prevention is an essential element of any effort to
end homelessness either locally or nation-wide. To close the front
door of entry into homelessness, the central challenge of
prevention is targeting our efforts toward those people that will
become homeless without the intervention. This book identifies
elements of community homelessness prevention strategies that seem
to lead to reductions in the number of people who otherwise would
become homeless. The contributing elements include targeting
through control of the eligibility screening process; developing
community motivation; maximising mainstream and private resources;
fostering leadership; and ensuring the availability and structure
of data and information used to track progress, improve on
prevention efforts, and facilitate outcome-based contracting.
Evidence from the six communities studied indicates that those
employing the most elements seem to be more successful at
prevention and better able to document their achievements. This
book also identifies four promising homelessness prevention
activities that may be used alone or in combination as part of a
coherent community-wide strategy: (1) supportive services coupled
with permanent housing, particularly when combined with effective
discharge from institutions, especially mental hospitals; (2)
mediation in Housing Courts; (3) cash assistance for rent or
mortgage arrears; and (4) rapid exit from shelter. This study
provides insight into approaches that will help prevent
homelessness. It is an important contribution to our understanding
of how to help homeless Americans.
No matter how positive the intent of prospective parents,
international adoption is fraught with emotional, medical,
administrative, linguistic, and geopolitical issues. And while a
wide range of professionals supports adopted children and their
families in adjusting to the inherent changes and disruptions, the
pediatrician's tasks--identifying and treating existing health
problems and preventing numerous others--are particularly complex.
International Adoption and Clinical Practice equips pediatricians
with a comprehensive set of tools for establishing a long-term care
plan and creating interventions to promote healthy development.
This concise guide overviews the intricacies of the international
adoption process and how they can affect the pediatrician's job,
from potential pitfalls in collecting medical data from a child's
birth country to tracking health concerns into adolescence and
young adulthood. Developmental and behavioral issues including
attachment, language acquisition, identity development, and
consequences of abuse and neglect are also examined in this
context. Figures, tables, and reference lists complement current
information on topics such as: Epidemiology and demographics of
international adoption. Pre-adoption evaluation of medical records.
Guidelines for diagnostic testing, screening, laboratory
evaluations, and immunizations. Common mental health issues faced
by adopted children and their families. Long-term and adult
outcomes of international adoption. Relevant policy issues and
areas for future study. Every child deserves a safe and healthy
home, and International Adoption and Clinical Practice gives
pediatricians an in-depth framework for helping to make this
possible as children make the transition to a new country and the
next stage of their lives.
