Shawn Green's career statistics can be found on the backs of
baseball cards in shoeboxes across America: 328 home runs, 1,071
RBIs, .282 career batting average, All-Star, Gold Glove, Silver
Slugger . . . but numbers tell only part of the story.
In the tradition of Phil Jackson's "Sacred Hoops, "Shawn Green
illustrates the spiritual practices that guided his career and
enabled him to "bring stillness into the flow of life." In "The Way
of Baseball, "he shares the secrets to remaining focused both on
and off the field, shedding light on a signature approach to living
by using his remarkable baseball experiences to exemplify how one
can find full awareness, presence, and, ultimately, fulfillment in
any endeavor.
This book investigates how administrators and staff at a community
service agency in Richmond Virginia perceive the needs of
unaccompanied refugee children as they transition into the American
way of life and the challenges associated with the relocation of
these children into foster care setting, and how service delivery
to meet these children's needs might be improved. A common theme
that emerged from interviews conducted with these administrators is
that successful integration of unaccompanied refugee minors into
American society requires from the very start culturally competent
approaches to placement, language assistance, and mental health
therapy. Options for improving resettlement of these minors within
the context of cultural competency include establishing culturally
sensitive community drop-in centers, recruiting mentors such as
culturally diverse celebrities and athletes to help facilitate the
transition of these youth and enrolling these children in
culturally diverse Outward Bound programs to encourage physical
fitness.
