Description: Street Social Work Practice Model introduces a contemporary approach to social work that aims to bridge the gap between traditional, corporate-style practice and the everyday realities of the people social workers support. Rather than relying only on formal meetings, assessment frameworks, professional language, and office environments, the model encourages practitioners to understand children and families within their actual communities, relationships, cultures, identities, and social environments. Drawing on Nana Akwasi Yabbey Hagan’s frontline experience, the book focuses on authentic engagement, cultural intelligence, community knowledge, relationship building, flexibility, safeguarding, reflection, and professional accountability. Its four interconnected foundations are community-centric engagement, empowerment through participation, flexibility and responsiveness, and holistic support.
