Health and Social Work Practices - Hardcover

This book is a compilation of the papers presented at the national conference on "Health and Social Work Practices: New Frontiers and Challenges" organized by the Department of Social Work, Center for Rural Development, Periyar Maniamrnai University, Vallam, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India. The conference aimed to provide a forum for government personnel, social workers, those working in the voluntary and corporate sectors, academics from allied disciplines and all those interested in working in the area of health, to come together and discuss ways for health promotion and better implementation of healthcare and welfare services. We find it a valuable resource in the hands of anybody who wishes to learn about recent developments in social work amid the health sector with inputs from allied professionals. We hope this information will foster the ability to work together.
