This article investigates the contemporary transnational and neocolonial characteristics of children’s welfare in the Philippines, drawing on the perspectives of young people in residential care settings (RCSs) (aka orphanages) as well as the views of programme and policy actors embedded across child protection systems. Its findings highlight the funding and governance roles of transnational actors in child and family welfare programmes, the commodification of children that these transnational dynamics engender and the Philippines’ dependence on international actors to support children’s welfare. Recommendations include the enhanced regulation of RCSs, expanded social protection measures and greater use of family-based care models.

In this article, I draw on my intersectional identities as a caregiver of a child with Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, as a registered social worker with extensive experience in the justice sector, and as an employed educator and researcher at a tertiary institute, to explore how I have used these multiple identities to create new initiatives that support families where Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is an issue, and introduce critical disability training for professionals working in the field.

Professional identity development in social work students and graduates is complicated by intertwining internal and external factors. This article reports findings from a subset of data from a longitudinal qualitative study which aims to understand what factors contribute to this group’s sense of professional identity. It draws on multiple interviews conducted with six international students/graduates in Australia, at approximately six-monthly intervals between 2021 and 2023. Findings indicate that the participants encountered intersecting barriers to professional identity, which outweighed facilitating factors. The study makes a unique contribution by addressing the current knowledge gap about how international students and graduates become social workers.

This mixed-methods study explores the incidence, manifestations, and drivers of secondary traumatic stress among service providers who work with Syrian refugees in Istanbul, Turkey. A survey of 104 social workers and other providers working in 17 public and civil society agencies in Istanbul in 2018 demonstrates that 54.81% had Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale scores indicating mild to severe secondary traumatic stress. In total, 28 qualitative interviews showed manifestations and possible drivers of secondary traumatic stress including weak supervision, heavy caseloads, and insecure working conditions. The findings suggest supervision and peer-support should be strengthened to address secondary traumatic stress among providers serving refugees.

Despite its importance, there are no mechanisms available to investigate the presence of human rights as a part of mental health education in Latin America. Instruments such as Human Rights Exposure in Social Work and Human Rights Engagement in Social Work can be used to make this approach feasible in recovery processes.

The philosophy and principles in ancient Indian scriptures and practices are similar to the Social Work concept of ‘Ubuntu’ that is, ‘Oneness’, ‘interconnectedness of all life’. Indian philosophy presents the interconnection between the mind and the body and states that a curative factor is creating a holistic balance within the individual. Several western models of social work have emerged for treating persons with mental disorders; however, they are considered ‘alien’ to the sociocultural milieu of India. This article discusses the feasibility and implications of indigenous socioculturally accepted evidence-based practice models of social work in India, compared to the concept of Ubuntu.

The study introduces the Child Maltreatment Pictorial Cards (CMPC) comprising 26 cards: 15 depict child maltreatment (CM) forms, and 11 cards illustrate positive situations. A total of 102 participants (age range 6–17 years) – 63 abused children and 39 non-abused controls – were recruited following ethical approval. Convergent and discriminant validities were established by using the Medical Somatic Dissociation Questionnaire and child history files. Known-group validity was achieved by comparing study variables, experiences, and memory recall disclosed through the pictorial cards. The findings revealed significant differences between the groups: abused children reported more negative experiences associated with memories and higher misperceptions of positive situations than controls.
