Summary:

"In this training video, a group of social workers explain the process of removing children from their homes when they are in serious danger, and how to reduce the trauma it inflicts. The video reenacts a case handled by a social worker and a police officer in which two children must be removed from their home due to abuse by their mother. It walks viewers through every aspect of this process, from how to prepare before going to a home to the actual removal. The scenes are narrated with straightforward tips and techniques, and interviews with child welfare and law enforcement experts are interspersed between the reenactments. This insightful training tool reminds viewers to handle each step of the process in a highly sensitive manner, as if seen through the eyes of a child. By watching this video, you will learn the steps and techniques to use in the process of removing a child from a home when he or she is in immediate danger; understand the psychological and emotional trauma removal causes to children, and learn alternatives to child removal if possible; and describe the removal process, including the things you should and should not say to parents and children and where to place children following removal. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher.
