Описание: Today there are nearly six million children under the age of five living in poverty in the world's richest country. Blanket statements are often tossed around in the political arena, public debate sphere, and progressive rhetoric. But the statistic remains intangible for many Americans, likely because the root causes, effects, and implications are multifaceted and complex, and are often hard to understand for the average American living a much different reality. What is needed is a clear and thorough discussion of this epidemic, and Behind from the Start answers that call. Author Lenette Azzi-Lessing examines what lies behind the stubbornly high rate of poverty among young children in the U.S. and the resulting consequences, both for the children themselves and for America as a whole. Behind from the Start examines the link between America's shaming, blaming, and marginalizing of poor parents, and our punitive welfare policies that jeopardize the life chances of vulnerable young children, thereby maintaining the cycle of chronic poverty. Research has shown that the experience of poverty in the first years of life is particularly harmful, blunting physical and brain development, increasing the risk for chronic health issues and injury, and limiting a person's lifelong capacity for learning and success. In debunking the myths that help perpetuate the cycle of poverty in the world's richest country, Lenette Azzi-Lessing reveals how negative public and political discourse regarding poor families impacts the poorly conceived and fragmented programs intended to support them, which have in turn failed to meet their aims. She considers the cultural and political forces that contribute to intergenerational poverty in the U.S., the consequences for the millions of young children in families stuck at the bottom of our economy, and the beneficial impacts that would be felt country-wide in fixing some of these persistent problems. Drawing upon knowledge from diverse fields, including neuroscience, media studies, and public policy, as well as the author's experiences on the front lines as a practicing social worker, Behind from the Start offers a fresh take on this shameful problem and its solutions.

Описание: Dit boek wordt een methodische benadering geboden voor het gestandaardiseerd inrichten en aansturen van modern functioneel beheer. Functioneel beheer kan een mooie brug vormen tussen de business en IT-beheer. Het schijnbaar complexe vakgebied functioneel beheer krijgt nog maar relatief kort de aandacht die het verdient. Met de komst van ITIL is de laatste twee decennia de aandacht vooral gericht geweest op IT-beheer, dat dankzij die aandacht structureel is verbeterd. De tijd is nu rijp om op vergelijkbare wijze structureel te werken aan de verbetering van de brugfunctie die functioneel beheer moet en kan invullen. Om een eind te maken aan de enorme variatie in de praktijk van functioneel beheer is een methodische aanpak noodzakelijk. De FSM-methode (Functional Service Management) is ontwikkeld om invulling te geven aan die behoefte. Door de methodische structuur van FSM wordt een stapsgewijze verbeteraanpak mogelijk. De concrete verbeterdoelen in een FSM-invoering worden steeds bepaald door de lokale organisatie. Dit tekent het methodische karakter van FSM: een brede toepasbaarheid van beschikbare best practices, zoals gedocumenteerd in bijvoorbeeld BiSL, in een gestructureerde aanpak. Dat maakt de FSM-methode praktisch toepasbaar en begrijpelijk. De opzet van de FSM-methode is geheel analoog aan de ISM-methode voor IT-beheer. De methodes worden door tientallen leveranciers van producten en diensten gebruikt bij het ondersteunen van betere dienstverlening in de praktijk van de informatievoorziening. Jan van Bon is een internationaal erkende deskundige auteur, hoofdredacteur en spreker. Zijn brede kennis en analytisch vermogen gebruikt hij, top-down, om kritisch de erkende frameworks en standaarden te beschouwen en daaruit kennis te selecteren en toepasbaar te maken. Wim Hoving heeft ruim 20 jaar ervaring in het invoeren en toepassen van procesmatig werken. Kritisch en autodidactisch heeft hij, bottom-up, constant gewerkt aan het verbeteren van de dienstverlening door praktisch te innoveren en samenhang aan te brengen tussen alle hulpmiddelen.In het boek bieden de auteurs de lezer een degelijke basis voor de aanpak van functioneel beheer. Daarbij kunnen lokaal aanwezige middelen, tools, en werkwijzen in die aanpak een plaats krijgen, zonder dat een ingrijpende reorganisatie noodzakelijk is. Door vanuit een krachtige structuur een praktische toepassing te vinden voor de eigen problematiek, kan een organisatie rendement halen uit de methodische aanpak die met FSM is vastgelegd.

Описание: They are laborers, soldiers, refugees, and orphans. In areas of the world torn by poverty, disease, and war, millions of children are invisible victims, deprived of home, family, and basic human rights. Their chances for a stable adult life are extremely slim. The powerful interdisciplinary volume Vulnerable Children brings a global child-rights perspective to the lives of indigenous, refugee, and minority children in and from crisis-prone regions. Focusing on self-determination, education, security, health, and related issues, an international panel of scholars examines the structural and political sources of children's vulnerabilities and their effects on development. The book analyzes intervention programs currently in place and identifies challenges that must be met at both the community and larger policy levels. These chapters also go a long way to explain the often-blurred line between vulnerability and resilience. Included in the coverage: * Dilemmas of rights-based approaches to child well-being in an African cultural context. * Poverty and minority children’s education in the U.S.: case study of a Sudanese refugee family. * The heterogeneity of young children’s experiences in Kenya and Brazil. * A world tour of interventions for children of a parent with a psychiatric illness. * An exploration of fosterage of Owambo orphans in Namibia. * UNICEF in Colombia: defending and nurturing childhood in media, public, and policy discourses. Vulnerable Children is a must-have volume for researchers, graduate students, and clinicians/professionals/practitioners across a range of fields, including child and school psychology, social work, maternal and child health, developmental psychology, anthropology, sociology, social policy, and public health.
