School Social Work is an undeniably invaluable resource for school social workers, school social work students, and school-based clinicians. And finally, the authors - including school social work practitioners and school social work researchers/academics - are representative of various regions in the country, thereby providing a national overview of the profession.

School Social Work: National Perspectives on Practice in Schools aims to provide a contemporary understanding of school social work practice given the changing educational context.
