ABSTRACT Although community practice increasingly deals with differences across race, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, and their intersections, approaches continue to be dominated by historical precedent, conceptual frameworks, practice wisdom, and case study. Informed by intervention development, community-engaged research, critical perspectives, and rooted in practice; this study utilizes critical-grounded theory methods to build a beginning-level practice approach that aims to develop practitioners’ skills in working across differences. Findings demonstrate key core process dimensions of knowledge building, relationship care, and quality communication, along various stages of community change; expanding the practical detail and scope of critical community practice.

ABSTRACT This article addresses social work’s place in the movement to “defund the police.” We argue that social work’s collaboration with police and use of policing constitutes carceral social work. In defining carceral social work, we specify the ways in which coercive and punitive practices are used to manage Black, Indigenous, other people of color, and poor communities across four social work arenas – gender-based violence, child welfare, schools, and health and mental health. To inform anti-carceral social work, we provide examples of interventions in these arenas that dismantle police collaborations and point to life-affirming, community-centered, and mutual aid alternatives.

ABSTRACT Following a scholarly thread in political theory that looks to American literature to deepen understanding of social problems and potential solutions, this paper explores James Baldwin’s conceptualization of racial innocence and the manifestation of the “culture of Whiteness” in social work practice. The paper begins by introducing the complicated history of the social work profession and its, perhaps inadvertent, collusion with structural racism via the promotion of imperialism. Next, is a discussion of contemporary social workers’ potential socialization into the culture of Whiteness, an expression of White supremacy. Third, Baldwin’s conceptualization of innocence is introduced, followed by deliberation of how this conceptualization bolsters an understanding of harmful helping. With this deepened understanding, the paper ends by considering steps towards disruption and interruption of damaging clinical patterns. Implications for social work practice, clinical supervision, and future research are introduced.

ABSTRACT Although there many factors outside of the human service context that influence client motivation, the label of an “unmotivated client” obscures the fact that in some significant measure the problem is not “unmotivated clients” but a missed opportunity for the social worker/counselor to engage the client. Assigning culpability for disengagement to the client, rather than the context, disinclines social workers to explore opportunities to support motivation. Reframing motivation as an attribute contingent on counseling practices provides opportunities to influence client motivation. This paper examines the implications for human service practices.

ABSTRACT This article contends that individual and systemic racist notions against Black fathers contribute to Black fathers’ feelings of ineptitude, invisibility and dejection. This article challenges the racial trope that Black fatherhood mainly encompasses absenteeism, intimidating and abusive behavior. The article argues that Black fatherhood is uniquely complex due to Black fathers being burdened with the mental and physical health detriments as a result of navigating state sanctioned violence and systemically racist notions against both them and their children, while simultaneously trying to prevent their consequential stress and hypervigilance from being displaced onto their children. This paper also posits that not addressing these issues increases the risk of these fathers’ mental and physical health being compromised and impairs their ability to parent safely and adequately protect their children. This article serves to provide human service practitioners tangible examples of this social and public health issue from the field of child welfare in addition to practical ways to ameliorate the relationship between human service workers and Black fathers. I conclude with recommendations on how to address the health inequity experienced by Black fathers stemming from racial health and social injustices.

ABSTRACT Social work experiences notable rates of burnout and subsequent attrition. In the social work academic and practice-based literature, self-care strategies are proposed as a means of mitigating the effects of workplace stress and feelings of emotional exhaustion. However, the neoliberal self-care discourse intended to alleviate feelings of distress may in fact be exacerbating professional burnout. Yet discourse analysis allows for a critical examination of neoliberalism’s discourse of social worker self-care.
