Handbuch Diakonische Jugendarbeit (9783788724504)

Zwei Faktoren treffen sich als Ausloeser dieses Projektes: Da ist zum einen die oeffentliche Diskussion um die so genannten "schwierigen Jugendlichen". Wahrend sich die medialen Reaktionen vielfach gegenseitig in ihren Dramatisierungen ebertreffen, begegnen hier fundierte Antworten und Analysen eher selten. Zum anderen besinnen sich die Kirchen in den letzten Jahren mehr und mehr auf ihre Diakonie bzw. Caritas als eine Grundfunktion des Glaubens und Lebens. Gleichzeitig zeigen aber empirische Untersuchungen (beispielsweise die EKD-Umfragen oder die Sinus Milieuanalysen der Katholischen Kirche), wie stark sich Kirchen und Glaubensgemeinschaften augenblicklich innerhalb bestimmter gesellschaftlicher Grenzen bewegen. In diesem Spannungsfeld steht das Projekt "Handbuch diakonische Jugendarbeit". Ziel des Buches ist es, Jugendarbeit in eine diakonische Perspektive zu stellen. Thematisch moeglichst umfassend und in oekumenischer Ausrichtung sollen dazu theologische Aspekt...

Group Homes for People with Intellectual Disabilities : Encouraging Inclusion and Participation (9781843106456)

Group homes are the dominant form of residential accommodation for people with severe learning or intellectual disabilities, and yet there are significant problems within these living environments. This book seeks to highlight the key issues for both residents and staff, and offers practical suggestions for improving community living. Based on original empirical research and drawing on extensive field notes, the book paints a picture of life in group homes today. The authors propose a framework for increasing community presence and participation, and consider the barriers to be overcome if progress is to be made in achieving these key goals. The notion of 'homeliness', the challenge of maintaining a balance between individual and group needs and the concept of practice leadership are all explored. Group Homes for People with Intellectual Disabilities is essential reading for anyone working with people with learning or intellectual disabilities in residential services, as well ...

Yankee Daughters (9780990797579)

Jamey Grenville was in the habit of rescuing women. He stepped up to save a Pennsylvania farm when his future wife's parents were killed in a tragic accident. He found a new home for his unmarried sister when a horrendous earthquake drove her from the family residence in Charleston, South Carolina. And he thought he had provided the perfect safety net for his eight daughters by bringing together a mother who loved them to distraction and a doting aunt to whom they could turn when they felt like running away from home. It might even have worked-if the two women had not been so very different. Katerina was an outspoken Northern farm girl, whose talents ran to cooking, sewing, and taking care of everyone around her. Rebecca was a classic Southern belle, most at home surrounded by books and music. Katerina's greatest wish for her daughters was that they all would find handsome and generous husbands who would take care of them and protect them for all of their lives. Rebecca wanted...
