The Family Map: A Tool for Understanding the Risks for Children in Families with Substance Abuse

摘要

This article reviews the findings from our assessments of children and their families in two Head Start programs using the Family Map.

Practical suggestions are offered to administrators about the importance of identifying such risks to children. Understanding specific risks and knowing how to address them are keys to providing the best outcomes for the children in such families.View full textDownload full textKeywordshome environment, parentingRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15240754.2010.492362
