Summary
Social workers practice in a diverse and ever-growing number of fields, with many schools covering the different areas of practice in their curriculum to help students decide on an area of concentration. This book explores the most important and prevalent practice environments for social workers, both traditional areas of practice, such as school social work and mental health and emerging areas, including veterinary social work and military social work. Social work graduate students will appreciate this book's alignment with social work accreditation standards (EPAS).
