Promoting health and wellbeing is an essential part of all
effective social work - not just for practice in healthcare
settings. In fact, the IFSW holds that 'social workers in all
settings are engaged in health work' and physical and mental
resilience can make a major difference to all service users' lives.
Drawing on international literature and research, the authors
collected here encourage thinking about the social, political,
cultural, emotional, spiritual, economic and spatial aspects of
health and wellbeing, and how they impact on the unique strengths
and challenges of working with particular populations and
communities. Divided into three parts, the first section outlines
the major theoretical paradigms and critical debates around social
work and ideas of wellbeing, globalisation, risk and vulnerability,
and the natural environment. The second part goes on to explore how
diverse understandings of culture, identity, spirituality and
health require different strategies for meeting health and
wellbeing needs. The final part presents a variety of examples of
social work research in relation to health and wellbeing with
specific populations, including mental health. Exploring how
structural inequality, oppression and stigma can impact upon
people, and drawing upon a social model of health, this book is an
important read for all practitioners and researchers interested in
social work, public health and social inclusion.
