Abstract

The social work profession has sought to eliminate, or at the very least, ameliorate those social ills that were believed to contribute to severe social and personal dysfunction. Prevention programs have been a primary factor in this endeavor. Prevention programs have addressed a vast array of difficulties including adolescent suicide, youth violence, teenage pregnancy, home visiting programs for families at high-risk for neglect and abuse as well as out-of-home placement. This paper addresses the concept of prevention and incorporates the notion of resilience in eight (8) prevention practice principles. Case examples are provided as well as a discussion for future directions for prevention in the field of social work.
