Episode 48: Today's podcast is on social work with Immigrants and Refugees. I speak with Fernando Chang-Muy, JD, and Dr. Elaine Congress about their new book on the topic. We talk about why it is important to have both social work and legal perspectives, how social workers and lawyers can work together to improve the lives of immigrants and refugees, how social workers can advocate for their clients on a policy level, and finally how listeners outside of the United States can use the concepts discussed in Fernando and Elaine's latest book in their own countries.
