| Abstract: | This think-piece paper tenders a new construct for home economics called the caring professional continuum, which is grounded in the education, prevention, and development approach to practice along with working through families to enhance the human condition. It originated from a 2021 email exchange between the authors arising from a response to a Facebook query “Why do you think that Home Economists are sometimes given the label ‘caring professionals’?” Building blocks to the think-piece also include a caring profession, and a helping versus caring professional (trust, empathy, humanistic, and human values). The paper is book ended with a practice addendum recounting Maltese pre-professional home economists’ engagement with these ideas. |
