Ross Hunter's Reviews > Take Me Home: Protecting America's Vulnerable Children and Families

I thought this was super-interesting. Her view is that while it makes some sense to invest resources in "upstream prevention," we can't fix the entire problem that way and will still need a robust child welfare system. Consequently the upstream investments should not take resources from current child welfare needs, and we should be very intentional about how we approach that project.

She's got a well-reasoned argument and it gave me a good perspective on the challenges facing social workers who work with challenging families and try to protect some of our most vulnerable children.

This was totally worth reading, though somewhat depressing.
