This groundbreaking book offers a critical, global perspective on mental health social work, aimed at both pre- and post-qualifying students. Moving beyond basic introductions, it presents a decolonised, holistic approach that challenges traditional models. By incorporating innovative ideas and indigenized practices, it seeks to transform mental health social work. Essential for future practitioners, this text inspires a new vision for the field, making it a must-read for those committed to advancing mental health social work.
Jill Childs, Senior Fellow Higher Education Academy, is the Principal Investigator for the Ubuntu partnership, a partnership of academics and practitioners that aims to create meaningful collaborations to decolonise social work by documenting indigenous social work and supporting evidence informed approaches between Uganda, Burundi, Rwanda and the United Kingdom. Jill’s work on anti-racism has won a number of national awards including, a silver Social Worker of the Year Award for University of the year, the Collaborative Award for Teaching Excellence by Advance HE, the University Alliance Innovation Award, and the HE Innovate award.
