Volume III, Now Available
Volume III: Mentorship Edition highlights the transformative impact of mentorship in the social work field. For Latinx/e social workers, especially from first-generation families, a mentor provides guidance and hope in a profession lacking Latinx/e role models to look up to. The spaces we create and nurture in mentorship, and the blossoming relationships that follow, are vital to the growth and development of Latinx social workers. In Volume III, the narratives of 13 mentees are paired alongside their Madrina or Padrino’s chapter. We also feature the stories of three Emerging Leaders in the social work field. In this way, our book honors the crucial role that mentorship plays for Latinx/e social workers, mental health practitioners, and professionals. Together, these stories weave a tapestry of community, support, and healing.
