Sixty-eight per cent of looked after children in the UK are in foster care. Children in foster care benefit from continuity. Sometimes, due to worker turnover and workloads, that continuity comes not from a social worker but from a foster carer. Thus, children in foster care can develop significant attachments to their carers, who are likely to have a valuable role to play in long-term planning for a child. A strengths approach to fostering social work places value on the input of carers as experts on a child, but the social work research literature reveals limited information about the use of such an approach in supervising foster carers. This article by Tim Odell builds on recent writing and suggests that the strengths perspective could be of value in working with foster carers, just as it has been in other settings. A case study examines the process of moving on for one child and how social workers and carers worked together to take a creative approach for a child with a history of multiple placements. This case study illustrates elements of a strengths-based approach. Suggestions for further application of such a model with foster carers are made, and areas for further practice research identified.

This book examines strengths-based approaches to understanding and celebrating diverse populations. It centers on understanding the ways in which minoritized group identities and membership in such communities can serve as sources of strength. The volume explores the varied dimensions of minoritized identities and challenges traditional concepts of what it means to be resilient. It presents research-based and innovative strategies to understand more thoroughly the role of resilience and strengths in diverse populations and families. The book addresses the need to consider affirmative, liberation, and strengths-based models of resilience. Key areas of coverage include: Families of transgender and gender diverse people.The role of chosen family in LGBTQ communities.Latinx LGBTQ families.The Indian Child Welfare Act.Celebration of Black girl voices.Homeschooling as a resilience factor for Black families.Black identity and resilience related to mental health.Black resilience in families. Identity as Resilience in Minoritized Communities is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians and related professionals in developmental psychology, family studies, clinical child and school psychology, cultural psychology, social work, and public health as well as education policy and politics, behavioral health, psychiatry, and all related disciplines
