The foster parenting toolbox : a practical, hands-on approach to parenting children in foster care

Phagan-Hansel, Kim, (editor.).

Summary: What do you need to meet the needs of the children in your care? Each child will be unique and require a different set of tools in your toolbox. Over 100 foster parents in the trenches, case workers, social workers, CASAs (court appointed special advocates), GALs (guardians ad litems), and judges contributed to this book to help all those on the child's team understand and work better with the children who are entrusted to their care. Covering topics from newborns to teens and everything in between, this book will help not only foster parents, but be beneficial to those who work with foster parents: case workers, social workers, judges, CASAs, GALs and others.
