Recenzii

“This book achieves its goals of increasing awareness of the challenges faced by homeless children and families, implementing and evaluating interventions, and generating policy recommendations. … In addition to researchers and academics, this volume is likely to become a resource for policy makers, child advocates, and educators (particularly those involved with Head Start programs). … this collection of empirical studies and policy recommendations is one step in the right direction for homeless children and their families.” (Katelyn E. Poelker, Nicole D. Yong and Judith L. Gibbons, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 62 (31), August, 2017)
