Abstract: | Paradoxically, Denmark has a large number of children in out-of-home care because it has a comprehensive child welfare system. Danish families turn to it for help, and under present social conditions of unemployment and family disruptions, the system is strained. This paper describes a large-scale, government-funded effort to improve the system's policies, programs, and flexible use of placement-treatment resources. |
