An Introduction to Social Work: Empowering People and Communities familiarizes students with key concepts in social work and social welfare with an emphasis on empowerment and social justice.
The chapters outline the levels of practice with individuals, families, and communities, and the various roles in which social workers engage to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic human needs of all people, particularly individuals who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty. The book employs an empowerment and strengths-based perspective, introducing students to methods for working with clients to forge resiliency. Students learn how the profession of social work has contributed to and can align itself with social justice, from direct service roles to advocacy. The book provides examples of working with at-risk populations, case studies, and best practices to deepen the student learning experience. It discusses the realities of social work practice, the need for empathy with clients, and how to prevent compassion fatigue and burnout.
Designed to inspire students and help them envision a society where all have equal opportunities, An Introduction to Social Work is an exemplary resource for foundational courses in the discipline.
