A social settlement's primary purpose is to develop and improve a neighborhood or cluster of communities. It differs from other social agencies in being concerned with neighborhood life rather than providing selected social services. A social settlement's staff members work with individuals, families, businesses, local government and other groups. They do informal counseling and home visiting. They sponsor friendship clubs, classes, athletic teams, and interest or hobby groups. Where problems are such that specialized skill is needed, caseworkers, psychologists, psychiatrists, home economists, and vocational counselors were contacted for assistance.<br /><br />In Chicago in 1889, Jane Addams bought a residence on the West Side that came to be known as Hull House. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, American settlement houses were especially active among the masses of new immigrants. They led in movements toward such reforms as legislation providing for juvenile courts, mothers' pensions, workers' compensation, and the regulation of child labor.Dr. Neil Gale, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10605531495401356831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2698674352470153088.post-86190943788281812472023-11-26T11:19:00.124-06:002023-11-26T11:19:00.124-06:00Thank you so much for your work!
