Welcome to Children's Services Practice Notes, a newsletter designed to enhance the practice of North Carolina's child welfare workers by providing them with information about research and practice models.
Practice Notes is sponsored by the North Carolina Division of Social Services and the Family and Children's Resource Program, part of the University of North Carolina School of Social Work.
In summarizing recent research, we try to give you new ideas for refining your practice. However, this publication is not intended to replace regular supervision and peer consultation--only to enhance them.
