"Some say life is simple, but we insist on making it complicated. Child welfare is just the opposite. It's really complicated, but we keep trying to make it simple."
This book reimagines how to address the challenges that older youth face in residential treatment centers, as we aim to provide these kids with the opportunities they need and deserve. New regulations and family support programs have improved the lives of many kids, but some have been damaged by one-size-fits-all policies. Residential treatment has been their placement of last resort, yet recent legislation is pushing these programs into extinction and offering few good options. This book offers an honest look at residential care because Dale and Myers are serious about providing all children, including those dangerously disconnected from us all, a genuine shot at a safe and fulfilling future
