Zusammenfassung: Social work is a profession committed to advancing human rights, promoting social justice, and supporting well-being at individual, community, and systemic levels. Across continents and cultures, social workers are on the front lines of humanity – standing with individuals, families, and communities in times of crisis, growth, and transformation. Social Work - Impacting Lives Around the World brings together powerful research, frameworks, approaches, lived experiences, and perspectives from professionals making a real difference in the lives of those affected by poverty, mass incarceration, child welfare issues, racial/ethnic differences, and systemic injustice. This inspiring collection highlights the diverse roles of social workers, spanning regions from North America to Northern Europe, and from Europe to Southeast Asia, as well as the Southern Hemisphere, and explores how social work adapts to local challenges while upholding universal values. Contributors examined a wide range of issues – including child welfare, poverty, mass incarceration, systemic injustice, and displacement through culturally responsive and ethnically grounded practice. Each chapter reveals the heart and resilience of a profession deeply rooted in empathy, equity, and social justice. This book offers valuable perspectives for students, educators, researchers, and practitioners seeking to understand the global dimensions of social work. The book is a vital resource for deepening global awareness and discovering how one profession is changing the world – one person, one family, and one community at a timePPN: PPN: 1983944637Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
