This new text illuminates the essential information about health
and social work critical to understanding today's complex health
care systems and policies. Chapters highlight current practice,
policy, and research in different settings and with special
populations. Readers learn how to advocate for the individuals,
families, and communities they serve to help improve health and
well-being for all. All those interested in micro, mezzo, and macro
practices in a healthcare setting will appreciate this rich
resource. Highlights include: Each chapter speaks to the
interconnections between practice, policy, and research and how
they are integrated to inform social work health care. Unique
chapters dedicated to special populations such as children and
families, older adults, immigrants, persons with HIV/AIDS, LGBTQ
individuals, veterans, and people with disabilities provide a
deeper understanding of the health care issues specific to these
groups. Thorough coverage of the role of social workers in a
variety of settings such as substance abuse, correctional systems,
public health, integrated behavioral health care, and more. An
in-depth discussion of the values and ethical issues in a health
care environment. An intersectionality lens used throughout

race, ethnicity, nationality, socioeconomic status, education
level, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identification.
Detailed case examples developed by professionals in the field in
Parts II and III accompanied by discussion questions further
enhance an understanding of the issues. Highlights how social
workers advocate for social justice to promote good health and
well-being for all. On-line instructor's resources including Power

CSWE Educational Policy Accreditation Standards (EPAS), answers to
discussion questions, including approaches that instructors can use
with cases and research, as well as a sample syllabus with
suggested options for instructors to modify for different courses.
Intended as a core text for MSW and advanced BSW courses on health
and social work, social work and health care, health and wellness,
social work practice in health care, or integrative behavioral
health taught in social work, public health, or gerontology, this
book is also of value in social work practice courses that focus on
