Description

"The text provides students with an understanding of the role of the law in social work practice and is designed to equip them with sufficient knowledge to assist them in various potential roles as staff, advocates, or case managers. Note that SSW is differentiated from the Social Worker designation, in that SW entails an ability to "diagnose" cases, above and beyond the delivery of counselling, community services, and social support programs that an SSW handles."--
