The Grand Challenges for Social Work Initiative (GCSWI), which is
spearheaded by the American Academy of Social Work and Social
Welfare (AASWSW), represents a major endeavor for the entire field
of social work. GCSWI calls for bold innovation and collective
action powered by proven and evolving scientific interventions to
address critical social issues facing society. The GCSWI aims to
identify and find solutions for some of the most persistent social
issues, tackling problems such as homelessness, social isolation,
mass incarceration, family violence, and economic inequality. Grand
Challenges for Social Work and Society is an edited book that
presents the foundations of the GCSWI, laying out the start of the
initiative and providing summaries of each of the twelve
challenges. The 13 main chapters that form the core of the book,
one on each of the Grand Challenges, are written by the primary
research teams who are driving each GC project. The second edition
includes updates on the initiatives laid out in the first edition
and sets new goals for the next five years. It also includes new
information on the Grand Challenge to Eliminate Racism, expanding
the social work pipeline, commentaries from leading social work
organizations, and how interdisciplinary science can best provide a
platform to tackle society's most urgent problems. This fully
updated second edition of Grand Challenges for Social Work and
Society is important reading for all practicing social workers.
