Overview
Developed by a psychologist, a judge, and an expert on early intervention and education, this accessible practitioner's guide introduces early childhood professionals to the coordinated, evidence-based practices used successfully in Miami's juvenile court and child welfare community. As they follow a gripping case study of one young mother and her children, readers will see in vivid detail why effective, integrated services are needed to improve child and family outcomes. Then, with practical tips and guidance from the perspective of the court, the clinician, and the early intervention expert, readers will discover how to
- plan and implement a coordinated system of care
- advance a more therapeutic approach to child welfare in the courtroom and community
- choose and implement an evidence-based parenting program
- improve relationships between children and parents by implementing Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP)

Readers will also get sample forms and checklists they can use as models to enhance their everyday work with families and children (see list below).
