Reunification is a primary goal of foster care systems and the most common permanency planning decision. It is defined as the return of children placed in protective care to the home of their birth family and used to describe the act of restoring a child in out-of-home care back to the biological family. Yet reunification decision-making and the process of reintegrating children into birth families remains under researched. This Brief takes a look at family reunification knowledge and research in Australia where there is evidence that most children placed in protective care are eventually reunited with their birth parents. It explores how a knowledge of reunification decision making and outcomes can contribute to strengthening practice and informing policy formulation and program planning in Child Welfare.

There is an increasing number of children adrift in the foster care system. For many reasons these numbers continue to grow. Studies indicate that a state of impermanence and multiple moves as often associated with foster care, results in a population of children experiencing greater emotional and behavioural problems. Literature suggests that significant benefits may be experienced by the creation of legal permanence for children and their foster families. The Declaration of Commitment Program was created in 1995 to assist in the development of this stability and permanence. This practicum report examines participating social workers' perceptions of this program, as well as their understanding of and value for the concept and practice of permanency planning in case management practice.

Presenting an integrative model for treating traumatized children, this book combines play, art, and other expressive therapies with ideas and strategies drawn from cognitive-behavioral and family therapy. Eliana Gil demonstrates how to tailor treatment to the needs of each child by using both directive and nondirective approaches. Throughout, practical clinical examples illustrate ways to target trauma-related symptomatology while also helping children process painful feelings and memories that are difficult to verbalize. The book concludes with four in-depth cases that bring to life the unique situation of each child and family, the decision-making process of the therapist, and the applications of developmentally informed, creative, and flexible interventions.
