Cross-National Teaching and Learning: Implications for Social Work

This paper presents findings from an international project designed to help Ukrainian school-based practitioners enhance their capacity to assist families and children struggling with the long-term consequences of the 1986 Chornobyl nuclear power plant disaster. Post-training evaluation indicates that the teaching method was received well and that participants significantly improved knowledge and attitudes in such areas as understanding of substance abuse and the use of client-centered, strengths-based social work practice interventions.
