Synopsis:
This book outlines new strategies for helping diverse groups and communities to gain their voices and enhance their capabilities. You will develop an understanding of changes in multicultural practice skills now required by the revised NASW Code of Ethics. Learn subtleties in cultural patterns and political circumstances in diverse immigrant populations that affect your practice approaches. And develop new skills for responding to new public policies that reflect movements toward victim blaming, cost containment and cultural intolerance.
