What do children need for healthy development? When does the well-being of a child become a risk to their well-being? How can I recognize this as a professional, and how can I position myself in the jungle of systems and rights? Bernd Kasper describes what nurtures children's resources and strengthens them, how and when a child's well-being is at risk, what tools and methods are available for risk assessment, and how contributions to child welfare can be made within the work of different systems. The book illustrates through case studies how to successfully implement appropriate support services while dealing with the challenges of working within systems. Children in foster families, children caught between trauma and triggers, children of mentally ill parents - all have a right to protection and well-being. How can we succeed in helping children?.
