Social Policy and Family Resilience

Identify two family constellations that exist in the United States today and provide a brief demographic summary of each. Using a human rights lens, identify equality issues that each family constellation faces when functioning in society. Use the two-family constellations identified above and identify specific policies that exist in the United States that either promote or deter resilience of families. Analyze and discuss specific ways each policy promotes or deters family resilience. Based on your knowledge of family resilience and public policy, identify one unmet need that families face and discuss what you can do as a human services professional to either create a new policy or change an existing policy that addresses this issue.
