Overview

Family Life Education with Diverse Populations provides readers with research-based strategies for designing and implementing culturally appropriate family life education programming with various populations. Each chapter is written by a member of the population about which they write or an individual who has significant experience working with that specific population.

The second edition has been updated to reflect shifting demographics, changes in relevant policies, and advances in culturally specific family life education programming and practice relevant to respective populations. Designed to help readers assess their cultural competence and translate their cultural knowledge into effective, inclusive, and compassionate practice, Family Life Education with Diverse Populations is an exemplary resource for courses in family life education, family diversity, human services, and community practice. It is also an excellent book for practicing professionals.
