| Online Class: Child & Youth Care: Ten Laws of Residential Treatment | This course identifies a series of laws or principles that can take effect within residential treatment when staff are preoccupied with the demands of the job. Based on a paper published by the instructor in a peer-reviewed professional journal, these laws are examined and their impact on residential treatment explored. They focus on the role of the child care worker, supervisors, and senior staff. The simple awareness of the dynamics of some of these laws is enough to change the behavior of staff and, ultimately, the youngsters in their charge. The effects of other laws require remedies and the instructor makes suggestions for corrective action.

This course identifies a series of laws or principles that, when activated by inattentive staff, can damage the day-to-day functioning of a residential treatment program for youth. Based on a paper published by the instructor in a professional journal, these laws are examined and their influence on treatment programs explored. The course focuses on how child care workers, supervisors and senior clinical staff unwittingly implement each law. Students will learn to recognize the symptoms and dynamics of these laws. This recognition can result in staff behavior change that, ultimately, may positively influence the behavior of youth in their charge. Students will also learn intervention techniques for those laws requiring corrective action. All practitioners in the field of child care in a residential setting can benefit from this class.
All practitioners in the field of child and youth care within a residential treatment setting struggle, from time to time, with patterns of group behavior that seem mysterious in origin. The youngsters might become more testing of limits and challenging of authority. Perhaps they become lethargic and refuse to comply with program routines. Sometimes there is an increase in aggressive behavior. Experienced youth care workers shrug their shoulders and question each other as to what's going on. They sense that some dynamic is in operation. Something clearly has gone wrong. They hold meetings to flesh out the culprit. Sometimes they are successful, sometimes not. Students taking Child & Youth Care: Ten Laws of Residential Treatment will become familiar with and learn to recognize the common, counter-therapeutic pit-falls of residential treatment and, once recognized, be able to develop team-based strategies for corrective action.
