- Abstract
Elizabeth Root, M.A., is a frontline child protection worker with 20 years' experience helping families. She is also an Associate at the Family-Centered Services Project and provides training and consultation to child welfare workers with particular attention to incorporating Collaborative Helping in child welfare practice. William Madsen, Ph.D., is the Founder and Director of the Family-Centered Services Project in Watertown, Massachusetts, a training and consultation organization designed to help develop more respectful and responsive services for families (). He has written extensively about collaborative approaches to helping efforts and is the author of Collaborative Therapy With Multi-stressed Families, 2nd ed. (Guilford, 2007), and co-author with Kevin Gillespie of an upcoming book, Collaborative Helping: A Strengths Framework for Home-Based Services (Wiley, in press), that offers a principle-based, practice framework for helping efforts across many different contexts. Bill and Beth have been working together to experiment with new approaches to the challenges and dilemmas of child protection work in ways that support both workers and families. This article is the first to describe some of those efforts.
