Taking Charge (eBook, ePUB)

A School-Based Life Skills Program for Adolescent Mothers

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This carefully researched and clearly written book is designed to make it feasible for social workers, school nurses, teachers, or even supervised volunteers to implement the Taking Charge curriculum and group intervention. It is the first empirically tested brief school-based treatment centered on self-sufficiency and stands alone in providing a skills-building intervention for adolescent mothers that is school-based, relatively brief, highly usable in the school environment, and focused on skills specifically identified as essential to self-sufficiency. The program is firmly rooted in outcome research from studies conducted by the authors in public schools in El Paso, Arlington, and Austin. Replete with sample dialogues and session-by-session goals, this will be an invaluable resource for an estimated 16,000 school social workers working in the nations schools, as well as students in school social work and child and family practice courses.
