The Social Work Video Bundle is a small video collection of 34 lectures and instructional programs, custom-built for social work students.

This compilation of seminars, group discussions, and informational programs provides a thorough introduction to social work as a field and a career. In the videos, seasoned professionals engage such topics as the foundational theories of social work, the basics of case management, appropriate behavior around clients, how to lead a group session, and the intricacies of interacting with social services agencies. The bundle also explains case management for a wide-range of clients, from those who are chemically dependent to those who have been institutionalized or are on probation.

Featured Titles include: Faces of Change: Social Work in the New Millennium, Case Management: Linking Client With Resources, Contracting Home-Based Services, Becoming a Social Worker: Real Students, Real Clients, Real Growth, and Welfare to Work: Through Mothers' Eyes.
