Well written, easy to understand and relevant to my degree course. I would highly recommend it! Excellent book and ideal as it gets straight to the point without useless information.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers Group Homes for People with Intellectual
Book SynopsisGroup 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 as academics and students of disability studies, social work and health and social care programmes.Trade ReviewThis highly readable book provides a balanced and thoughtful analysis of the complex dynamics involved in providing homes for people with intellectual disabilities. -- British Journal of Social WorkClements and Bigby have written a well organised and highly readable book that draws together pertinent literature and their own considerable insight and research. In focusing attention on the heterogeneity of disability, they question generic disability policy rhetoric and confront the reader with the barriers and challenges inherent in policy implementation for people who have severe and profound intellectual disabilities living in group homes. -- Australian Social WorkI will say no more other than please read this excellent book. -- British Journal of Learning DisabilitiesThis book needs to be read by everyone interested in improving services for people with learning disabilities so that the great ideals of Valuing People and Valuing People Now can be realised. It takes seriously the very real challenges of making community presence and participation meaningful for people with higher support needs and seeks to translate high-flown rhetoric into practical advice for service-providing organizations, group home managers and workers in residential services. -- British Journal of Learning DisabilitiesThe book is easy to read, well-structured and provides a clear and sometimes saddening insight into the lives of people with severe and profound intellectual disabilities. However the overall message is one of hope and suggests realistic and achievable changes that can be made at all levels of service provision. -- The British Journal of Developmental Disabilities, Ewan CullingThis book can appeal to a wide range of readers... Throughout the book they use a wealth of field notes and excerpts from interviews with staff that help to illustrate their arguments and will resonate with the reader's own experiences in services. In addition, at the end of each chapter there is a list of important topics and questions for further consideration. The book is also an excellent source of information for students and researchers of learning disability services, because each chapter provides a review of the literature and research relevant to the topic. -- Tizard Learning Disability ReviewTable of ContentsForeword. 1.

Oxford University Press Inc Community Resilience
Book SynopsisIn this fifth volume of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation''s Culture of Health series, Community Resilience: Equitable Practices for an Uncertain Future highlights the importance of resilience, or the set of assets that allow a person or place to recover when adversity hits, by illustrating the policies and stories of lived experience surrounding health equity. Whether that adversity is acute--such as an environmental disaster or an abuse of police power--or chronic--such as that engendered by poverty and racism--local innovation and community engagement are key to nurturing resilience and promoting health equity.Community Resilience positions storytelling and narrative shifts as essential to influencing our perceptions of who deserves empathy or support, and who does not, by examining the systemic barriers to resilience and the opportunities to reshape the landscape to overcome those barriers. The central message of this volume--across immigration or imprisonment, opioids or trauma, Trade ReviewCommunity Resilience charts a path for practitioners, policy makers, funders, advocates, and researchers to press an agenda for change and create a healthier world by using story-telling to shift beliefs and behaviors, philanthropy to seed change, and data to spark innovation. If democracy dies in darkness, then equity dies in silence. Community Resilience trumpets its message of hope. * David Abramson, New York University School of Global Public Health *There is a real need in today's society for the findings of this volume. We must be moving toward a Culture of Health by pushing on and breaking down systemic barriers to community resilience and equity so that real social change and racial healing will occur. * Jamie D. Aten, PhD, Founder and Executive Director, Humanitarian Disaster Institute *The work in this volume from national thought leaders and accomplished activists inspires hope and direction. Especially relevant in the face of Covid-19 and ongoing climate change, Community Resilience should be required reading for students, practitioners, community organizers, and policy makers. * David Vlahov, PhD, RN, Professor of Nursing, Yale School of Nursing *This book makes vivid and concrete the ways that mindsets are social determinants of health. The stories we tell ourselves about who deserves to be healthy and what we owe each other: these narratives drive health policy and health outcomes. Community Resilience is a valuable field guide to the culture part of the Culture of Health. * Martin Kaplan, Director, Norman Lear Center for the Study of Entertainment, Media and Society, USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism *In this volume, you will find powerful examples of ways that individuals and communities across the country are working to improve conditions of life, especially for people and places that have been left behind. * Laudan Aron, Urban Institute *This timely volume points to strategies for strengthening the resilience of communities to overcome inter-related threats from racism and poverty to the coronavirus pandemic, and will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, advocates, and policy makers. * Nancy Adler, Center for Health and Community, University of California San Francisco *Table of ContentsTable of Contents Introduction SECTION I INTRODUCTION: SHIFTING THE NARRATIVE Chapter 1 - The Storytellers Chapter 2 - Data and Lived Experiences Both Inform Well-Being Chapter 3 - A New Narrative on Gun Violence Chapter 4 - Immigrants in America: Stories of Trauma and Resilience Chapter 5 - The Toxic Impact of Life Behind Bars SECTION II INTRODUCTION: SYSTEMIC BARRIERS TO RESILIENCE Chapter 6 - Responding to the Opioid Epidemic Chapter 7 - Adressing Trauma and Building Resilience in Children: Science and Practice Chapter 7 Spotlight - Texting Through a Crisis Chapter 8 - Home, the Heart of Place SECTION III INTRODUCTION: RESHAPING THE CONDITIONS OF PLACES TO FOSTER RESILIENCE Chapter 9 - Health Care Institutions Step Up to Support Resilient Communities Chapter 10 - Strengthening the Response to Disasters and Trauma Chapter 10 Spotlight - Inland from the Coast Chapter 10 Spotlight - Social Infrastructure as a Pathway to Resilience Chapter 11 - Houston Comes Together After Hurricane Harvey Chapter 11 - Spotlight: Helping Those Who Need It Most Chapter 12 - The Environmental Justice Imperative Chapter 12 Spotlight - Multisolving to Advance Climate Goals SECTION IV INTRODUCTION: ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORKS THAT DRIVE INNOVATION Chapter 13 - Digital Data, Ethical Challenges Chapter 13 Spotlight - The HUMAN Project--Using Mega-Data to Analyze Health Chapter 14 - Investing in Social Determinants: Fresh Perspectives on the Returns Conclusion Acknowledgements Index
