Description
Harbour Kitchens is a cook book - and more. Incorporating recipes, anecdotes, kids’ art and gorgeous colour photography – it is a portrait of the vibrant and diverse community that is Lyttelton.
Over 150 recipes were collected from local residents: including parents, business people, artists, writers, and prominent chefs. Softbound and printed in colour throughout, the book is divided into four seasonal themes.
Local photographers Dean MacKenzie, Jason Larraman, Frank Visser and Maree Henry have contributed images which capture the spirit of this unique town.
Harbour Kitchens aims to raise funds for the town's two primary schools – Lyttelton Main and Lyttelton West. This book is a snapshot of a place, its food, and the people who make it special.
HMA is proud to support its local schools' fundraising endeavour. To this end, no postage will be charged within New Zealand when you order your copy of Harbour Kitchens from our online bookshop.

Description
Human service workers need more than just common sense. Practice Skills in Social Work and Welfare offers a comprehensive introduction to practice skills required across the human service sector.
The authors use critical analysis to systematically outline the key stages of interaction with clients: engagement, assessment, intervention and evaluation. Drawing on a strengths approach, they examine the skills needed for working with different types of clients: individuals, families and community groups. They also explore the dilemmas faced in daily practice, including the challenges of working with involuntary clients, clients from different cultural backgrounds, and clients in crisis situations.
Practice Skills in Social Work and Welfare provides a model of integrated practice which incorporates the key components of ideology, theory, phase, skill and context. Detailed case studies demonstrate how welfare services can be delivered in different contexts. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and includes new material on online services and strengths-based practice.
Written by experienced teachers and practitioners from Australia and New Zealand, Practice Skills in Social Work and Welfare is a practical and user friendly text for students and reference for practitioners.
About the Editors: Jane Maidment has been a social work practitioner in mental health and has taught practice skills in Australia and New Zealand. She is a senior lecturer in the School of Health and Social Development at Deakin University. Ronnie Egan has extensive experience as a social work practitioner and supervisor in the community sector. She lectures in Social Work at Victoria University, Melbourne.

Description
Every day we are bombarded with the reality that people do bad things to each other as well as to themselves. Those of us who work in the human services are increasingly being asked to make judgements about the safety of people we work with. What judgements we make and how we make them, is the focus of this book. A number of key thinkers have been asked to write about their experience in risk assessment and management and the challenges that this field of practice poses for practitioners.
Topics include:
- From mysticism to science - the changing nature of risk assessment - Getting the balance right between risk management and intervention - Suicidal behaviour in young people - Risk assessment and management in mental health - Assessing and managing risk in family violence cases - Psychopathy and prediction of offending - Changing definitions of rape and implication for risk assessment - Assessing child sex offenders - Preparing workers for assessing and managing risk - Risk estimation system training for child protection workers
This is a timely book as our attention focuses on decisions that affect not just the lives of clients, but also those in the wider community.

Assisting clients to become emotionally literate is a core aspect of many interventions in the human services. 82 Bi-cultural Feeling Faces allows clients to build the language of emotions through regularly considering their mood states and learning how these underpin behaviour. These individually laminated feeling faces have Mâori and English emotions translations and have proven popular with a number of audiences within New Zealand/Aotearoa.
