However, with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, traditional, in-person service delivery was dramatically interrupted. Previously at a crossroads, the field is now experiencing a seemingly unstoppable shift toward modern technology-mediated forms of delivery.
Social Work in an Online World addresses this shift and charts 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.
Contributors provide a comprehensive tour of digital social work practice that covers individual, group, and macro work in a variety of settings using accessible theory and real-world examples that provide valuable insights and reflections about the strengths and limitations of their approaches. In addition, the book places special emphasis on digital equity and data justice, highlighting the core social work value of social justice.
Social Work in an Online World demonstrates that the shift to hybrid and digital practice is moving forward, largely positively, for social workers and for those they seek to serve. Readers wishing to adopt digital practices will be inspired by this groundbreaking guide to apply these standards in their own practice and applications.
Learning Objectives:
- Explain the concept of digital social work practice and its implications for community action, psychotherapy, psychoeducation, education, support, data justice, and digital inclusion.
- Identify the key principles, theoretical foundations, practical applications, policy, and ethical considerations within the context of digital social work practice.
- Analyze the impact of technology on marginalized populations and identify strategies to address the digital divide and promote inclusive access to digital resources.
- Evaluate different digital tools and platforms that can enhance social work practice, such as telehealth, online support groups, simulation education, school safety, and community organizing through social media.
- Navigate the landscape of data justice as a social work issue and develop a framework for action using critical data literacy.
- Reflect on personal values, biases, and assumptions concerning digital social work practice, and engage in ongoing self-reflection and professional development to ensure culturally sensitive and ethically sound application of digital technologies.
Apply the knowledge and skills acquired through the book to real-world scenarios, through case studies, practical examples, and exercises, to enhance competence and confidence in digital social work practice.
