Immigrants and Social Work

To provide immigrants with effective social services, it is essential to understand the situations that prompted them to uproot their lives and start over in a new country. Immigrants and Social Work: Thinking Beyond the Borders of the United States provides an unflinching look at many of these country-of-origin issues. It examines the mental health problems facing undocumented Mexican immigrants, cross-national collaboration that is helping to provide vital services to Armenian refugees, the dual phenomena of return and circular migration, the provision of culturally relevant mental health services to Chinese immigrants, and much more.
