Social Work with Groups: Social Justice Through Personal, Community, and Social Change

By Deborah Goodman, Nancy E. Sullivan, Lynne Mitchell, et al.

Book Overview

The examples you'll find in Social Work with Groups: Social Justice Through Personal, Community, and Societal Change will help you to assist groups to gain a sense of empowerment and create change in their own lives and communities. You'll meet social workers who use hip-hop music to reach out to troubled adolescents, practitioners who blend traditional First Nations talking circles with other therapy methods, a retired professor who transforms the way her fellow senior living center residents participate in their world, and fathers of children with spina bifida who help each other through an online discussion group. As you'll discover, social action that gets results has to start somewhere--let it begin with you!
