Description: Designed to provide social service professionals with ideas and approaches for better understanding and meeting the needs of Latinos in the U.S., Social Services in Latino Communities: Research and Strategies presents a variety of case studies that will help you develop culturally competent research and practice methods. This guide will lead you to a better understanding of the circumstances and contexts in which Latinos live and function.

This will enable you to develop innovative models of service delivery, based upon community assets rather than deficits. From this text, you will learn why identifying, assessing, and engaging indigenous resources is a key to increasing Latino client and community satisfaction with your agency and the services it offers.
