metamorphosis of a gerontological Social Work Scholar
Journal of Gerontological Social Work, 2019Co-Authors: Cara L WallaceAbstract:My participation in the Pre-Dissertation Fellows Program (PDFP) was a defining moment in the development of my career. This commentary focuses on how my participation helped me transition from mentee to mentor and from PhD student to faculty member and Scholar in gerontological Social Work and end-of-life care. While many students have limited mentorship from gerontological faculty in their own program, the PDFP offers a bridge to gerontological Scholars and peer support across the US. Beyond that, opportunities are readily available for participation with the Association for Gerontology Education in Social Work (AGESW) and for collaboration across this netWork. Like myself, many awardees move into faculty positions and their accomplishments are varied and impressive. It is difficult to fully separate these from the connections, mentorship, and support received from the AGESW netWork and through participation in this program.

Child Welfare and Child Protection: An Introduction
TopSCHOLAR®, 2019Co-Authors: Royse David, Griffiths AustinAbstract:Child Welfare and Child Protection: An Introduction prepares future child welfare professionals to tackle the complex and challenging Work associated with responding to child maltreatment. Developed by a former child protection professional and a Social Work Scholar, this book draws upon current research and features cases that simulate those child welfare professionals are likely to encounter in the field. After an historical examination of the evolution of child protection in the United States, the book focuses on understanding the causes of child maltreatment and risk assessment. Readers are presented with a compelling case and the opportunity to see how it develops over the course of three chapters that address the investigative process, the delivery of ongoing services to assist families in addressing high-risk behaviors, and helping children achieve timely permanency when returning home is not an option. Other chapters present foster parent and foster child perspectives, additional considerations for special needs populations, and suggestions for Working effectively on a child protection team. Every effort is made to prepare readers for the stresses and strains associated with Working in child protection, including a dedicated chapter on self-care. Featuring foundational and critical information for future professionals, Child Welfare and Child Protection is well-suited for introductory undergraduate and graduate courses

assets future orientation and well being exploring and extending sherraden s frameWork
Journal of Sociology and Social Welfare, 2001Co-Authors: Marcia Shobe, Deborah PageadamsAbstract:Reducing the incidence and impact of poverty has been central to Social Work practice since the birth of the profession (Addams, 1910; Franklin, 1986). The prevailing anti-poverty paradigm holds that well-being is almost exclusively dependent upon income. Social Work Scholar and educator, Michael Sherraden (1988; 1991) suggests a new anti-poverty paradigm whereby combined income and asset building initiatives may improve the well-being of poor households. Sherraden (1991) suggests that assets have positive effects on well-being, including future orientation. The extended conceptual frameWork suggested here further specifies that future orientation has a direct role in its relationship with assets and well-being.
