Walking This Path Together is an edited collection devoted to
improving the lives of children and families that come to the
attention of child welfare authorities by demonstrating and
advocating for socially just child welfare practices. In this new,
updated edition, authors provide special consideration to the
historical and political context of child welfare in Canada and
theoretical ideas and concrete practices that support
practitioners, educators and students who are looking for
anti-racist, anti-oppressive and anti-colonial perspectives on
child welfare practice.
Drawing on the expertise of Indigenous scholars and researchers,
including voices from the front lines in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, this book examines child welfare practices in kinship
care, FASD, homelessness, aging out of the system, and transitions
for rural youth leaving care. Themes running throughout the book
include renewing and decolonizing child welfare work,
anti-oppressive practices, the historical legacy of the 60s Scoop,
and the needs of marginalized and vulnerable children.
A celebration of the work of Yellowhead Tribal Services Agency
(YTSA) in Alberta, this collection of essays describes the agency's
bold new model that integrates First Peoples' adoption practices
with provincial adoption laws and regulations. Now expecting
closure to the long debate in Canada over adoption of Aboriginal
children into non-Aboriginal families, the authors provide stories
of good and bad adoptions over the years--and recommend ways to
implement the new policies and practices.
This resource offers students and experienced practitioners alike
the opportunity to explore a range of visions, strategies and
concrete skills for anti-racist and anti-oppresive child welfare
practice.
