Secondary Traumatic Stress and the Child Welfare Professional by Josephine G. Pryce and Kimberly K. Shackelford and David H. Pryce
Josephine G. Pryce, Kimberly K. Shackelford and David H. Pryce
Becoming a child welfare professional should come with a warning: “beware — this may change you forever and can be dangerous.” The change, however, may be good if you can learn to cope with the stress of the work and grow from the experience. Secondary Traumatic Stress and the Child Welfare Professional, a first-of-its kind book, presents the tools to help child welfare practitioners and agency managers identify and provide practical and appropriate interventions. This book is based on the authors’ ten-year study of over 600 child welfare practitioners’ experience with traumatic stress and child welfare.
Color Me Butterfly: A True Story of Courage, Hope, and Transformation
L. Y. Marlow
Color Me Butterfly tells the story of four generations of mothers and daughters who leveraged their strength, courage and hope to triumph over unspeakable abuse.
L.Y. Marlow is the third generation of her family to have been a victim and survivor of domestic violence: a violence that almost took her own life and the life of her unborn child. Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the fourth of five children, she comes from a family tree of strong, triumphant women who taught her the meaning of courage, hope, and love. In her debut book, Color Me Butterfly, she tells the poignant and endearing story of four generations of mothers and daughters: the true story of her grandmother, her mother, herself, and her daughter. With grace and wisdom, she examines the impact intergenerational domestic abuse has had on her family for over sixty years.
