A More Humane Workplace: Responding to Child Welfare Workers' Personal Losses.

DiGiulio, Joan Ferry

Child Welfare, v74 n4 p877-88 Jul-Aug 1995

Surveyed 106 child welfare workers on types of personal loss they experienced and the support they received from colleagues. Found that 85 percent had endured a loss during their term of employment. They received the most help from their co-workers, followed by supervisors, but would have liked more emotional support and a longer leave of absence for recovery. (HTH)
