Publisher's Synopsis
"Prior to 2020, the field of social work was limited in its adoption of digital practice. With the onset of COVID-19, traditional, in-person service delivery was dramatically interrupted. What once appeared to be a crossroads for the field became an emerging and seemingly unstoppable shift toward modern technology-mediated forms of delivery. This volume addresses this shift and maps the changing landscape from analog to digital practice in varied client systems, system needs, and system levels (micro, mezzo, and macro). Going beyond online mental health service, which is largely individually focused and synchronously delivered, the authors offer a map of digital social work practice that can be expanded to include support, identity, community action, education, and psychoeducation. Readers wishing to adopt digital practices will be inspired to apply these standards in their own applications"--.
