Summary:

"Together Unbroken focuses on the histories, laws, policies, practices, and judicial cases that influence child welfare interventions and impact families. In questioning the traditional orientation and function of child welfare that is fraught with oppression and family separation, the book promotes a new framework for meeting the needs of children and their families and calls for systemic transformation that enables the ultimate reflection of safety, stability and well-being--the ability to heal. The survivors and advocates who courageously shared their stories show the human face of these often-abstracted issues." -- Back cover.
