Hello Open Education Colleagues,

 

The University of Regina is pleased to announce the publication of the resource Rural and Northern Social Work Practice: Canadian Perspectives by Dr. Bonnie Jeffery and Dr. Nuelle Novik.

 

This book highlights the contextual foundation of social work practice with rural and northern communities by addressing the importance of place using anti-oppressive perspectives. Practice competencies are presented, including an emphasis on trauma- and violence-informed approaches and the importance of addressing the mental wellness of social workers practicing in these communities. The book explores selected areas of social work practice including abuse and intimate partner violence, mental health issues and addictions, newcomers and immigrant populations, older adults, and child protection work.

 

Regards,
