Combining an interdisciplinary approach with discussions of class, cultural analysis, and Aboriginal issues throughout, this text helps students develop the diverse skills required to practice effective helping relationships when working with at-risk children and youth. A comprehensive exploration of both theory and practical applications, Interventions with Children and Youth in Canada is a valuable tool for both practicing and aspiring social workers.
