Promoting the Dignity and Worth of People in Social Work (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781527533639)

The Global Agenda for Social Work (2012) calls on social work educators and practitioners who witness the daily realities of personal, social and community challenges to design and strengthen the profile and visibility of social work and to enable social workers to make a stronger contribution to policy development. This volume responds to the need to examine how practitioners respond to this call to address current social realities. It also explores how local practitioners experience current social challenges, and how they respond to them with creative and innovative social work practice. Topics investigated here include the use of a Mindfulness perspective to help people with a substance use disorder, the challenge of dealing with dementia, male juvenile reintegration in Trinidad and Tobago, and the patterns of childhood behaviours, amongst others.
