Description

This collection examines the interdependence between families and other social institutions, and the need for families and communities to work together to meet the needs of families and children. It documents the need for partnerships among families, churches, schools, human service organizations, and the government, and provides strategies for building such partnerships. This book is targeted for church, lay, and academic audiences including diocesan family life, social justice, religious education, and youth ministry staffs. Other persons who will benefit from reading this book include Catholic charities staff members, other health and human services professionals, family and child advocates, family life ministers, educators, and pastors, deacons, lay leaders and volunteers. Families and Communities in Partnership will also serve as excellent reading material in courses on religion and society.
