In this session, participants will be introduced to the poverty-aware social work framework and how it has been developed and applied in different parts of the world. This will include findings from a recent survey to social service professionals to better understand the micro-level and macro-level tools available to and implemented by practitioners working with families experiencing poverty. Findings from the US sample will be compared to survey results from several other countries, including Israel and Western European nations. The session will also include discussion about next steps for improving practice approaches with families facing poverty.
