Digital access to Social Work With Immigrants and Refugees: Legal Issues, Clinical Skills, and Advocacy, Third Edition, on CourseConnect, an interactive online platform. Using a foundational, institutional, and population-based approach illustrated with concrete examples, this innovative product will aid readers in the development of policy analysis skills, advocacy tools, and communication skills needed to work effectively with immigrants and refugees throughout the United States. The updated third edition includes four new chapters examining refugees and asylum, cultural humility and advocacy focused nonprofit organizations, public health and immigrants, and immigration and housing—areas that have recently seen extensive policy changes in practice and at the state and federal levels. Major updates throughout this solution-oriented text focus on how to enact positive systemic changes and include an extensive reorganization of the content to facilitate ease of use. The third edition provides specific information about how to engage immigrant clients and how to help them navigate the complicated and often unwelcoming American educational, health, housing, and criminal justice systems. It also addresses ways to advocate for immigrants and refugees in micro, mezzo, and macro settings and information on at-risk groups such as women, children, and elderly. Chapters feature learning objectives, case studies with discussion questions, and additional resources including links to sample documents.
