Children and Residential Experiences: Creating Conditions for Change

by Martha J. Holden, Tom Endres (Contributor), Joanna F. Garbarino (Contributor)

The CARE practice model provides a framework for residential care based on a valid theory of how children change and develop, motivating both children and staff to adhere to routines, structures and processes, minimizing the potential for interpersonal conflict. The core principles of this model have a strong research and/or theoretical relationship to positive child outcomes and can be incorporated into a wide variety of programs and treatment models.

Good resource

[Katie Doehrmann]

Not a fun read but educational and fairly easy.

[Kimberly Patton]

Reading for work and learning about the concepts at meetings and training. Very textbook like but super important!

[Christopher Patterson (Vreeland)]

Great insight and should be required reading for any child care worker. Wish it had more detail in some of the chapters relating to behavioral control and real life experiences these kids need to have access to. Wish this book was out 13 years ago when I started doing this type of work.
