This special issue seeks to stimulate intentional thinking about how child welfare
systems - the public sector and allied formal and informal community resources - are currently working toward improving outcomes when children are at home and to help keep children at home. The issue strives to inform the field of practices with the strongest evidence base that have been applied to in-home child welfare services. Moreover, we are looking to improve practice and program development, addressing critical issues faced by program administrators and practitioners working toward keeping children at home in the face of limited resources. We are looking for original and well-executed quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods studies that use the most rigorous (and appropriate) methodologies to address in-home child welfare approaches such as those noted below. Strong conceptual articles will also be considered for this issue. Click here for more information.
