Social Work can play a key role. Yet, like other disciplines, the field is ill prepared for the growing number of individuals and family members who are impacted physically, emotionally and financially. Compounding the challenge, the number of social work students identifying interest in the field is low. This mixed methods concurrent study assessed the preliminary efficacy of a day-long education event among social work students from eight social work programs. Pre- post-training survey included: 1) dementia knowledge, assessed with the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale, and 2) negative attitudes towards dementia, assessed by asking students to identify three words that reflected their thoughts on dementia, which were later rated as positive, negative or neutral by three external raters. Bivariate analyses showed that dementia knowledge (mean difference= 9.9) and attitudes (10% lower) improved from pre- to post-training (p<0.05). Collaboration between social work programs can increase student access to strength-based dementia education. Such programs hold the potential of improving dementia capability within the field of Social Work.</p>","PeriodicalId":17012,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Work Education","volume":"59 2","pages":"493-505"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10309142/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9747912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, their voices and experiences are often ignored and not discussed fully within the social work classrooms. Since the social work profession is founded on social justice and equity, we urge educators to center the experiences of Black girls within their curriculum by recognizing their experiences within the context of power, privilege and oppression. This teaching note presents intersectionality as a framework for teaching social work students about working effectively with Black girls by focusing on their unique social location. Specifically, we provide strategies that engage social work students through case studies using qualitative research, student reflections, educational videos, and guest speakers. By using an intersectionality lens, social work curriculums can provide an important foundation for students to understand the nuanced ways that Black girls develop and experience the world.</p>","PeriodicalId":17012,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Work Education","volume":"59 1","pages":"263-269"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9983732/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9081470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article emphasizes the role of critical reflexivity and collaboration by presenting four social work doctoral students' efforts designed to engage community and youth in CBPR to enhance health promotion initiatives.
