Indeed quite a new and daring area for social workers. But then again, social workers are daring.

This is absolutely amazing and a necessary connection that must be made between our environment, social justice, and social work!

I'm thinking of including Thankful (developing an attitude of gratitude) instead of Trauma for a workbook I am developing based on the UPSTREAM model. What do you think it most important? Let me know your thoughts!
