The SAGE Guide to Social Work Careers presents first-hand stories
from practitioners to help inform, inspire, and guide students to become
advocates for social justice issues. With a unique focus on advocacy and
social justice, author Melissa Bird covers fundamentals of the social
work profession--from coalition building to advocacy engagement and
stakeholder outreach--across a range of practice areas, such as mental
health, substance abuse, and criminal justice. Students in BSW and MSW
programs will gain practical knowledge that will prepare them to
successfully navigate their way to a rewarding career.
