| Abstract | This grounded and practical volume offers interdisciplinary guidance on culturally attuned social work with Korean communities in the U.S., integrating practice, research, education, and community engagement. As a vital profession in American society, social work plays a pivotal role in enhancing the lives of Koreans and Korean Americans in the United States. To effectively support this ethnic community, social work practitioners, researchers, educators, and policymakers must not only understand Korean cultural nuances but also address the unique challenges and needs they face. Drawing on the latest empirical research, academic insights, and the practical experiences of social workers and other human service professionals, the editors and authors provide valuable guidelines, recommendations, and innovative tools for social work practice, research, community empowerment, and education-each directly applicable to serving the Korean American community. |
