Project Description
Subject Summary, December 2009
Author: Jane Gilgun
This research shows that parents are key to good child outcomes. Whatever contributes to improved parent outcomes is a factor in children’s improvements in the three domains of family, community, and school. Children have mixed outcomes when parents are unable to change their behaviors and become emotionally available to their children. Children appear to require long-term stable relationships with consistently loving parents in order to function well.

CASCW’s subject summaries were developed by affiliated faculty within the School of Social Work from 2004–2010. Child welfare-relevant evaluation findings, which include current policies and practices affecting Title IV-E eligible families and children, are incorporated into these supplemental training materials.
Each Subject Summary contains features such as discussion questions, selected references, additional resources, suggested guest speakers and a PowerPoint presentation.
