“Within a holistic framework, this collection of readings offers the current landscape of addictions issues spanning micro, mezzo, and macro levels of practice across Canada. Written by social workers for social workers—plus a moving personal narrative by Thomas Miller, a non-social worker who identifies himself as a Native of Canada—the book highlights intersectionality across a range of marginalized populations and the importance of trauma-informed practice. Useful as a resource for practicing social workers, as a course textbook, or as individual chapters to supplement another textbook.”
—Kimberly A. Calderwood, PhD, RSW, Full Professor, Department of Social Work, Trent University
