This hands-on resource provides clear, practical guidance for
supportive service professionals working in a home-based
environment. Drawing on best practices from a range of disciplines,
this book provides a clear map for dealing with the complex and

families, with applications extending to supervision and
organizational change. Readers gain the advice and insight of
real-world frontline helpers, as well as those who receive care,
highlighting new ways to approach the work and re-think previous
conceptualizations of problems and strengths. Helping efforts are
organized around a shared, forward-thinking vision that anticipates
obstacles and draws on existing and potential supports in
developing a collaborative plan of action.
