Re: Educational Background and Child Welfare Work



Thomas O'Brian wrote, "In doing research for a book on child welfare, I
haven't been able to find
more definative works on the question of social work effectiveness in child
welfare.  Not only that but from all that I can tell social work trained
staff (BSW and MSW) represent only about 27% of total staff employed
nationally in child welfare. "

Couple this with the effects of Managed Care removing much of Mental Health
from the public, and I would have to assume that these changes fall in line
with the "bring back the orphanages" logic...... so Newt must be in charge.
