Book excerpt: Becoming a child welfare professional should come with a warning: "beware - this may change you forever and can be dangerous." The change, however, may be good if you can learn to cope with the stress of the work and grow from the experience. Secondary Traumatic Stress and the Child Welfare Professional, a first-of-its kind book, presents the tools to help child welfare practitioners and agency managers identify and provide practical and appropriate interventions. This book is based on the authors' ten-year study of over 600 child welfare practitioners' experience with traumatic stress and child welfare.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the current study is to explore secondary traumatic stress as it pertains to child welfare supervisors. Previous studies have found that child welfare workers suffer from high levels of secondary traumatic stress that negatively impacts their quality of life (Adams, Boscarino & Figley 2006; Bride, 2007; Conrad & Kellar-Gunther, 2006; Cornille & Meyers 1999; Van Hook & Rothenburg 2009), and additional studies have shown that supportive supervision acts as a protective factor for those at risk for developing secondary traumatic stress (Anderson, 2000; Badger et al., 2008; Dekel & Nuttman-Shwartz, 2009; DePanfilis and Zlotnik, 2008; Dickason and Perry, 2002; Finklestein, Boyas, & Wind, 2010; He, Phillips, Lizano, Rienks, & Leake, 2018; McDaniel & Slack, 2005; Slattery & Goodman, 2009; Stein, Greene, Bronstein, & Solomon, 2015; Strand & Dore, 2009). However, there is little research focused on how child welfare supervisors are affected by secondary trauma, and how that trauma impacts their quality of life and subsequently, their ability to provide supportive supervision to the child welfare workers they supervise. It is hypothesized that child welfare supervisors also suffer from traumatic stress, which has a negative impact on their quality of life. A quantitative research approach utilizing electronic surveys was employed to explore this phenomenon. The surveys were sent to supervisors in four different regional offices in the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. Participation was voluntary and anonymous. Two scales were utilized to collect and analyze data; the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) developed by Beth Hudnall Stamm (2005), and the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale (STSS), developed by Bride, Robinson, Yegidis & Figley (2004). Three additional qualitative short answer sections were included. The study found that secondary traumatic stress negatively impacts the personal and professional quality of life of a great number of supervisors. Further, a significant relationship was found in regard to Secondary Traumatic Stress and Compassion Satisfaction. As levels of Secondary Traumatic Stress increased, levels of Compassion Satisfaction decreased. These findings were consistent, and not affected by the number of years on the job, number of years as a supervisor, or education level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive reference offers a robust framework for introducing and sustaining trauma-responsive services and culture in child welfare systems. Organized around concepts of safety, permanency, and well-being, chapters describe innovations in child protection, violence prevention, foster care, and adoption services to reduce immediate effects of trauma on children and improve long-term development and maturation. Foundations and interventions for practice include collaborations with families and community entities, cultural competency, trauma-responsive assessment and treatment, promoting trauma-informed parenting, and, when appropriate, working toward reunification of families. The book’s chapters on agency culture also address staffing, supervisory, and training issues, planning and implementation, and developing a competent, committed, and sturdy workforce. Among the topics covered: Trauma-informed family engagement with resistant clients. Introducing evidence-based trauma treatment in preventive services. Working with resource parents for trauma-informed foster care. Use of implementation science principles in program development for sustainability. Trauma informed and secondary traumatic stress informed organizational readiness assessments. Caseworker training for trauma practice and building worker resiliency. Trauma Responsive Child Welfare Systems ably assists psychology professionals of varied disciplines, social workers, and mental health professionals applying trauma theory and trauma-informed family engagement to clinical practice and/or research seeking to gain strategies for creating trauma-informed agency practice and agency culture. It also makes a worthwhile text for a child welfare training curriculum.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within a historical and contemporary context, this book examines major policy practice and research issues as they jointly shape child welfare practice and its future. In addition to describing the major problems facing the field, the book highlights service innovations that have been developed in recent years. The resulting picture is encouraging, especially if certain major program reforms I are implemented and agencies are able to concentrate resources in a focused manner. The volume emphasizes families and children whose primary recourse to services has been through publicly funded child welfare agencies. The book considers historical areas of service—foster care and adoptions, in-home family-centered services, child-protective services, and residential services—where social work has an important role. Authors address the many fields of practice in which child and family services are provided or that involve substantial numbers of social work programs, such as services to adolescent parents, child mental health, education, and juvenile justice agencies. This new edition will continue to serve as a fundamen­tal introduction for new practitioners, as well as summary of recent developments for experienced practitioners.

This book was released on 2017-09-26 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overwhelming empirical evidence indicates that new social workers, particularly those going into child welfare or other trauma-related care, will discover emotional challenges including the indirect or secondary effects of the trauma work itself, professional burnout, and compassion fatigue. However, the newly revised CSWE Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) does not mandate the inclusion of content related to self-care in social work curriculum or field education. In a textbook that bridges the gap between theoretical and pragmatic approaches to this important issue in human service work, Jason M. Newell provides a potential resolution by conceptualizing self-care as an ongoing and holistic set of practice behaviors described as the key to professional resilience. To address the effects of trauma-related care on direct practitioners, Newell provides a comprehensive, competency-based model for professional resilience, examining four key constructs—stress, empathy, resilience, and self-care—from a range of theoretical dimensions. For those who work with vulnerable populations, the tendency to frame self-care solely within organizational context overlooks the importance of self-care in domains beyond the agency setting. Alternatively, he uses a framework grounded in the ecological-systems perspective conceptualizing self-care as a broader set of practice behaviors pertaining to the whole person, including the physical, interpersonal, organizational, familial, and spiritual domains of the psychosocial self. Alongside professional self-care practices at the organizational level, Newell makes a case for the pragmatic role of recreational activities, time with family and friends, physical health, spirituality, and mindfulness. The application of a comprehensive approach to self-care practice has potential to empower practitioners to remain resilient and committed to the values, mission, and spirit of the social work profession in the face of trauma.
