Aboriginal Social Work Voices (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781350463318)

Understanding and respectfully engaging with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities is vital for the future of social work in Australia.

Authored by an all-Aboriginal Australian team, this book offers a ground-breaking collection of writings to develop a toolkit for culturally responsive practice. Structured in three parts, Aboriginal Social Work Voices explores key contemporary issues in social work, including allyship, anti-racist practice and the ubiquity of whiteness in Australian social work.

This book will help you to:
- Deepen your understanding of the histories, cultures and ongoing struggles of Aboriginal communities in Australia
- Critically reflect on your role in social work and how you can contribute to social justice and the advancement of Aboriginal rights
- Build the cultural responsiveness needed to engage respectfully and meaningfully with Aboriginal peoples
- Foster a more inclusive and compassionate approach to social work practice

With reflective questions and further reading at the end of each chapter, this book centres Aboriginal voices to enrich your understanding of both the challenges and the resilience within Aboriginal communities.
