USDVulnerability is not a fixed state; people and families can move in and out of experiencing vulnerability throughout their lives. All families are at risk of experiencing vulnerability at some point, which means that social workers and other professionals must be equipped with the skills to effectively provide them with support. Working with Families Experiencing Vulnerability: A Partnership Approach provides a comprehensive, evidence-based guide to family-centred practice for the social work, human services, health and education professions. This edition has been comprehensively revised and features new chapters on working with families affected by natural disasters, families experiencing poverty, Māori families, LGBTQIA+ families and families where a parent has an intellectual disability. Emphasis is placed on promoting a rights-based, relational approach to working with children and young people, who are most at risk of experiencing vulnerability. Each chapter includes case studies, reflective questions and activities.
- The new edition has been substantially revised, including new chapters that explore contemporary topics including working with families affected by natural disasters, parenting in a new land, transitions to parenthood, parenting with intellectual disability and supporting people of diverse genders and sexualities
- Provides a current, evidence-based approach to family-centred practice for students across the social work, health and education professions
- Student learning is supported through a broad suite of pedagogical features in each chapter, alongside new online resources to complement the text
