Introduction
The Children, Youth, and Families specialization recognize the integration of the development of children and youth within the family unit and the larger social environment. Families, in all forms, are integral to human development and manifest numerous cultural values and attributes that are transmitted to the next generation. Children and youth are foundational target populations in social work, with a particular focus on the promotion of their healthy growth and development. Additionally, the protection of children, addressing child and family mental health through prevention and treatment programs, and community-based youth initiatives are among major practice areas within the social work profession.
