The police are the first agency of contact for children in conflict with the law and children in need of care and protection. These children undergo varied problems that are bio-psychosocial, which is beyond their coping, which will lead to children resorting to unacceptable behaviors such as involving in unlawful activities. Department of Women and Child Development, Kerala, with support from NIMHANS, initiated a novel program to provide psychosocial care and support for children in conflict with the law. As part of the program, Special Juvenile Police Officials were trained in psychosocial care for children in need of care and protection and children in conflict with the law. Incorporating social work techniques in training police and skills in practice, especially among the special juvenile police units, will sensitize police on psychosocial problems and care for children that will support better execution of law in favor of children.

The purposes of this study are 1) To find and analyze institutions authorized to deal with children in conflict with law in Indonesia and Malaysia, and 2) To find and analyze the process of fostering children in conflict with law in Indonesia and Malaysia. The main problems discussed in this study are 1) Guidance institutions that deal with children in conflict with the law in the future must consider respect for the dignity of children in the form of structural and infrastructure perspectives in coaching institutions in other words a child-friendly coaching institution. Furthermore, to provide protection and the needs of the rights of parents of child development institutions in conflict with the law, it is necessary to prepare the rights for parents or guardians of children who will meet and visit. In addition, from the aesthetic and architectural point of view of building institutions for children in conflict with the law must be child-friendly, so as not to be stigmatized such as prisons or correctional institutions generally for adults. 2) Guidance for children in conflict with the law at this time is only a duty and responsibility of the supervisor in the institution, criminal offender and the community alone, so that restorative justice is not achieved. In the future, the development of children in conflict with law in Indonesia needs to use a restorative justice approach. In each stage of its development, guidance for children in conflict with the law is not only oriented to rehabilitation and resocialization of perpetrators but also recovery of victims and people's lives.

Palliative care has an interdisciplinary tradition and Canada is a leader in its research and practice. Yet even in Canada, a full interdisciplinary complement is often lacking, with psychosocial presence ranging from 0–67.4% depending on the discipline and region. We sought to examine the most notable gaps in care from the perspective of Canadian palliative professionals. Canadian directors of palliative care programs were surveyed with respect to interdisciplinary integration. Participants responded in writing or by phone interview. We operationalized reports of interdisciplinary professions as either “present” or “under/not-represented”. The Vaismoradi, Turunen, and Bondas’ procedure was used for content analysis. Our 14 participants consisted of physicians (85.7%), nurses (14.3%), and a social worker (7.1%) from Ontario (35.7%), British Columbia (14.3%), Alberta (14.3%), Quebec (14.3%), Nova Scotia (14.3%), and New Brunswick (7.1%). Psychology and social work were equally and most frequently reported as “under/not represented” (5/14, each). All participants reported the presence of medical professionals (physicians and nurses) and these groups were not reported as under/not represented. Spiritual care and others (e.g., rehabilitation and volunteers) were infrequently reported as “under/not represented”. Qualitative themes included Commonly Represented Disciplines, Quality of Multidisciplinary Collaboration, Commonly Under-Represented Disciplines, and Special Concern: Psychosocial Care. Similar to previous reports, we found that (1) psychology was under-represented yet highly valued and (2) despite social work’s relative high presence in care, our participants reported a higher need for more. These finding highlight those psychosocial gaps in care are most frequently noted by palliative care professionals, especially psychology and social work. We speculate on barriers and enablers to addressing this need.

Homoeopathy is the system of medicine founded by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) of Germany. It is based on the principle that “like cures like”. In practice, this means that a medicine capable of producing certain effects when taken by a healthy human being is capable of curing any illness that displays similar effects. In pediatric practice; attention deficit disorders (ADHD/ADD) are the most common serious psychosocial problems prompting parents to seek help for their children. Since the ability to pay attention and concentrate is a basis prerequisite of child development, forming the foundation of all learning and thinking as well as of emotional and social interaction, the suffering of these children as well as their siblings, parents, teachers, and fellow pupils is often considerable.

This paper presents a new online tool, Pawnder, a dog adoption website which allows users to access and navigate through the database of dogs, in need of care and support, which constitutes a significant proportion of the canine's population in India with the subsequent aim of adoption, thus helping to reduce cases of human-animal interference along with their high mortality rates. Using the concepts of Machine learning and Web development using React.js, Pawnder is designed to run on any browser on any device creating easy accessibility for its users thus allowing a greater reach which consequently would help in providing all the resources needed for these innocent animals. The objective behind its development is to utilise the network base so created to eventually facilitate in their adoption and helping them find their forever homes.

This article explores the nature of adoption, its history and how it has evolved into the current system of Canadian adoption law. Originally adoption existed to serve the interests of the adopting family. Over time there was a shift in attitude, such that adoption was intended to serve the best interests of the child The author questions the current state of the law, its practices and whether it really serves those whom it is intended to serve. The article critically examines the nuclear family, which the author asserts is at the heart of Canadian adoption law. Finally, there is a brief presentation of psychoanalytic theories of child development which includes an examination of Freud, attachment theory and feminist analysis. This discussion helps both to explain the current system and to challenge its validity. The author raises important questions about the current state of adoption law and its foundations.
