Summary:

"Individuals with serious illness deserve compassionate, culturally competent care that is person centered and focused on maintaining and enhancing quality of life. This book focuses on building the knowledge, competencies, and skills that will help social workers in multiple service settings support and advocate for diverse groups of persons with serious illness, including those who face gaps and barriers to services, primary care, and medical referrals due to disability, race, ethnicity, gender, or sexual identity. Readers will come away with a set of perspectives and guidelines that they can put into practice in varying contexts where serious illness issues are likely to emerge"-- Provided by publisher.
