Incorporating Content on Family Reunification into the Social Work Curriculum

Abstract

Family reunification is the system of policies, programs, and services designed to reunite children and adolescents in out-of-home care with their families of origin. This growing practice area in child welfare has received much recent attention in both the professional literature and popular media. Learning about family reunification and the practice and policy issues surrounding it is important if social work education is to reflect the new and changing knowledge base of the profession. Following an overview of family reunification, this article discusses suggestions, guidelines, and implications for integrating content on this timely topic throughout the social work curriculum.
