ABSTRACT Equality for marriage and reproduction has become a major policy agenda worldwide. Opportunities for sexual minority individuals to pursue planned parenthood through assisted reproductive technologies, adoption or surrogacy emerged only recently. Perhaps due to socio-cultural and structural barriers, sexual minority individuals consistently report lower parenthood desires and intentions than heterosexual individuals. Using a cross-sectional online survey, we examined the relationship between parenthood desire and demographic and psychosocial characteristics in a sample of 1,395 gay and bisexual men in Taiwan. Results showed that sexual orientation, relationship status, psychosocial well-being and cultural factors such as filial piety are significant predictors of parenthood desire. Implications for social work practice are discussed.

ABSTRACT This research focused on how to develop culturally relevant social work practices in addressing Gender-Based Violence (GBV) among refugees in Ethiopia and aimed to bring Global South perspectives into the international debate. In-depth interviews were conducted with professionals (N = 8) selected using purposive sampling. Qualitative thematic analysis revealed that GBV interventions in Ethiopian refugee settings are in contradiction with the local sociocultural context and depend on Western knowledge and practice models. Hence, the profession of social work should decolonize itself; adopt a culturally relevant approach; embrace the centrality of culture and ensure the professional autonomy of social workers.

ABSTRACT Asian Americans have a history of discrimination and othering in the US. In October 2016, journalist Michael Luo put out a call for Asian Americans to tweet racist encounters using the hashtag, #thisis2016. The aim of this study was to examine the encounters shared by Asian Americans. Tweets between October 2016 and December 2017 were obtained via Twitter. The tweets were scoped down to 3,156 tweets to include those that appeared to answer the original call. A phenomenological approach was the overall framework with thematic content analysis applied to analyze the data. Tweets were categorized by type of racist encounter. The racist encounters included: microaggressions, denial of intra-ethnic differences, seen as other, verbal harassment, validation of anti-Asian racism, prejudice, verbal violence/attack, and model minority. Understanding the unique experiences of Asian American individuals, families, and communities helps to target policies, social services, and programming that takes these factors into account.

ABSTRACT Infant and early childhood mental health consultation (IECMHC) is a national model with proven positive outcomes for children, teachers and classrooms, as well as effectively addressing racial inequity in preschool suspension and expulsion rates. This paper discusses recent efforts in the Maryland IECMHC program to deeply and systematically address equity and increase consultant capacity to understand and address racial inequity within early childhood settings.

ABSTRACT The article examines the ongoing paradigm shift on enhancing diversity climates in Swedish human services organizations. Traditional social policy arrangements based on a monocultural style of service provision has been challenged by the growing need for cultural competence and ethnic sensitivity. A study of cultural competence enhancement finds the recruitment of ethnic social workers to be the most efficient strategy for making social services more culturally sensitive. At both the operational and the managerial level, ethnic staff contribute to regular training and the updating of staff cultural competences, as well as to the strategic diversity plans of entire organizations.

ABSTRACT The social work profession has regulated ethical guidelines that require social workers to understand the impacts of service users’ racial and cultural affiliations and identities. However, social work practitioners have been under-informed regarding how mixed-race identity in a monoracial society affects mixed-race service users and the related impacts in social work practice with this population. This literature review evaluates the peer-reviewed, published social work literature on how mixed-race people have been represented to inform social work practice; of the literature analyzed, a majority of sources were from the U.S.A. and Canada. The authors identify key themes and provide critical discussion on the findings, followed by suggestions regarding how research gaps can be filled and the implications for practice.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is for schools of social work to critically evaluate their Field Education Programs for practices that impede anti-racist and equity-minded learning environments. This systematic review synthesizes the literature over the last decade to examine literature that may assist with field education evaluation. After reviewing the literature, five studies were located that addressed anti-racism within social work education; however, zero evaluative tools were located. Therefore, the authors have compiled a series of evaluative questions, as part of an initial evaluative tool, in the critical examination of anti-racist and equity-mindedness in their field education departments.

ABSTRACT Familismo, a central theme in the Latino community, is viewed as protective factors by providing support, loyalty, and cohesion. However, for Latino gay men, it can also create hurdles and lead to mental health challenges when coming out to family members. Despite mental health concerns, receiving treatment is viewed as a stigma within the community. As a result, their mental health needs go unaddressed, putting them at risk of long-term effects. This practice corner highlights current gaps in research while emphasizing the need for culturally appropriate interventions for the population. It also offers implications for future research.

ABSTRACT Vicarious witnessing is an emergent focus for social workers who support highly traumatized communities. Research indicates that indirectly witnessing another person’s trauma narrative can lead to internalizing those narratives resulting in adverse emotional, relational, and somatic symptoms. In this Practice Corner, we reconceptualize testimonial therapy as a strategy to foster wellbeing among service providers who support clients with trauma. Providing the background of testimonial therapy, we follow with an outline of the process. Finally, we conclude with a discussion and rationale for its use with social workers.
