Reviews for The Survival Guide for Newly Qualified Social Workers in Adult and Mental Health Services: Hitting the Ground Running
This is a very easy to read and user friendly book. It takes NQSWs on a journey from having just qualified to becoming more experienced practitioners. There are very useful chapters on supervision and stress management. Reflection is encouraged. As the programme leader for the post qualifying award for social work with adults, I think this book gives an excellent basis from which to develop the knowledge, skills and resilience needed in social work with adults today.
Jackie Martin, Principal Lecturer and Programme Leader for the Post Qualifying Specialist Award in Social Work with Adults, De Montfort University, UK This book will help both social workers and their supervisors make the very best start.
