Social work is a profession under strain, and practitioners report finding the role increasingly challenging. What can sustain social work in these times? How can social workers sustain themselves in the role? How can they derive confidence and meaning from what they do? In addressing these questions, Sustaining Social Work is a source of understanding and support for professionals struggling with the tensions of practice. Accessible and engaging , it explores the fallout that results from social workers experiencing these tensions, including feelings of powerlessness, responsibility, optimism and cynicism. Drawing on ideas from social theory and the social sciences, it puts forward a model of sustainable social work that will help practitioners not just cope but flourish – even in the context of ongoing crises. An enlightening, uplifting read in a difficult and uncertain time for the profession, Sustaining Social Work addresses the challenge of finding sustenance and consolation within day-to-day practice, enriching it beyond the short-term.

Loving You Bigger Than A Big Bus: A Mother's Love Story To Her Son

On September 14, 1976, my life began. I gave birth to Ryan Elliot Bell, my life, my love, my everything. Ryan was an amazing child filled with love, tenderness and wit. A child who developed into a remarkable man. On Sunday June 5, 2005, my life crumbled. I lost my precious son to a cerebral aneurysm. This book of poems is a tribute to my son that I started writing to him soon after his death. I want the entire world to know how special a human being Ryan was and will forever continue to be. Even though Ryan passed away at the tender age of 28, he left his indelible imprint on all those who knew him and loved him. I forever want Ryan to be remembered and I want to share my love for Ryan to all. I wanted to name this book "Bigger than a big bus" because up until this tragedy struck, Ryan, always would say to me, "Mom, I love you bigger than a big bus". I have saved all the cards Ryan sent to me over the years for birthdays, anniversaries and Mother's Day and they were always signed "love you bigger than a big bus". This book is a mother's love story to her cherished son.

This practical text delineates the basic steps of developing effective interventions for learning and behavior difficulties in children aged two to five. The authors set forth an ecological framework that stresses identifying problem situations rather than classifying individual children as disabled or at risk. The core components of naturalistic intervention design are covered in depth, including teacher and parent interviewing, classroom observation and functional assessment, team-based problem solving, strong accountability methods, and legal and ethical safeguards. Solidly grounded in empirical research, the book presents examples of successful interventions for fostering social competence and language skills and improving interactions with parents, teachers, and peers.
