Cassandra L. Bransford, PhD

This e-book offers an in-depth overview of a field that is expected to grow significantly over the next decade and beyond. As a caseworker, you work to help others achieve a better, more satisfying life, whether it's through helping a young adult transitioning from foster care to independent living, finding adequate housing for a single mother, or providing support to a homebound elder. Some of the highlights of the book include lists of professional organizations, sources of further information, samples of casework examinations and sample degree criteria
