The contributors offer empirical and field insights, comprehensive treatment models, and curricula in key areas such as child maltreatment, substance abuse, parent training, social skills, and youth employment interventions. For the professional reader, the book offers real-world guidance on social work practice, from hiring opportunities within a system to promoting lasting change as families and their issues grow increasingly complex. These chapters also take significant steps toward future improvements in child protection systems as the field evolves toward being more coordinated, effective, and professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in the coverage: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegal requisites for social work practice in child abuse and neglect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe integrated model for human service delivery in child welfare.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRisk assessment: issues and implementation in child protective services.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubstance use and abuse: screening tools and assessment instruments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe process of intervention with multi-problem families.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreventative services for children and adolescents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts multi-level approach makes \u003ci\u003eEvidence-Informed Assessment and Practice in Child Welfare\u003c\/i\u003e an essential professional development text for social workers, particularly those new to the job, as well as a progressive blueprint for social work administrators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJOHN S.
