Research Abstract	Based on our previous researches from 2004-2010, a manual and 27-minute companion DVD were created to describe effective procedures for family social work in children's home. The vignettes were created in consultation with several experienced social workers. The DVD demonstrates communication skills to build a partnership with children and parents, encourage them to be involved in assessment and planning, and help them review the progress. The DVD also illustrates teamwork among staff members and collaboration with the child guidance center. The manual explains the specific needs of children in residential care and circumstances of their families, overviews the history of family social work in residential care for children, and then describes effective procedures as a set of components that can be easily used in different settings.
