Ebook: Addressing Racial Disproportionality and Disparities in Human Services: Multisystemic Approaches

The issue of racial disproportionality in the child welfare system has long been a concern to practitioners and policymakers, affecting members not only of the African-American community but also Latino, Native-American, Asian-American, and Pacific Islander populations. Addressing Racial Disproportionality and Disparities in Human Services features leading voices on delivering culturally-competent care in the areas of juvenile justice, mental health, education, and healthcare. Filled with in-depth case studies, key terms, study questions, and resources, and written to reflect CSWE-mandated competencies, the text gives students, educators, policymakers, practitioners, and administrators new knowledge for providing culturally-competent services while addressing disproportionality across various systems of care.

The first book to examine disproportionality across various systems of care and multiple ethnic populations.
