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.

Secondary Trauma in Child Welfare Supervisors available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download and read online ebook The Child Welfare Challenge write by Peter J. Pecora. This book was released on 2012-01-31. The Child Welfare Challenge available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
