Summary:

As schools face increasing numbers of homeless students in the educational system, school social workers and other related professionals often find themselves contending with a myriad of policies and other factors relating to homelessness in order to help students obtain an education. School-based Practice with Children and Youth Experiencing Homelessness is one of the first books to focus on school social work practice with homeless children; it is an overarching guide to the issue of homelessness designed for school-based practice. The book takes readers through conceptualizing homelessness, describing how experiencing homelessness impacts the children we serve, outlining the major policies that govern and frame our interventions, and finally providing a practice perspective and mindset to address the needs of homeless children and youth. Written with practitioners in mind, School-based Practice with Children and Youth Experiencing Homelessness is an accessible handbook - loaded with case studies and practice examples - to addressing homelessness in our schools.
