Mental health in asylum-seeking parents
Asylum-seeking populations face a disproportionate burden of adverse mental health outcomes, yet empirical evidence on the factors that promote resilience and empowerment within these communities remain limited. This exploratory qualitative study examined the lived experiences of asylum-seeking parents through the lens of the family resilience model. Semistructured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 13 low-income Eritrean asylum-seeking par…
Children’s participation in decision-making processes in child protection services
In recent years, researchers increasingly recognize of the importance of children’s right to participate in decision-making processes in child protection services. While the importance of children’s participation is widely acknowledged, research suggests that this participation can may adversely affect children when committees do not constitute a “safe space” that is sensitive to the needs of the child. These needs are often influenced by the chi…
A tension of rights and needs? Social work advocacy for undocumented residents in the unrecognized villages of the Negev
Social work advocacy is a longstanding principle in social work. These endeavors, grounded in core values, aim to safeguard and promote fundamental human rights for individuals and groups. However, citizenship status and marginalization often pose a challenge for advocacy efforts. In unrecognized indigenous communities, such as those of the undocumented Bedouins in Israel, the realization of social rights is inextricably linked to the struggle fo…
Displaced Communities
Emergency displacement has become an increasingly salient global phenomenon, precipitated by the intensification of climate crises and persistent geopolitical conflicts. These events forcibly displace millions each year and generate complex social, political, and institutional challenges. While the literature on displacement is expanding, much of it centers on individual and household experiences, often overlooking the collective dimensions of di…
Social Entrepreneurship in Social Work in Multicultural Societies
Despite the growing interest in social entrepreneurship in social work, the concept has not been examined from the perspective of majority and minority groups in multicultural societies. This study presents empirical evidence concerning factors that explain the entrepreneurial intention of social workers based on data from an extensive survey of social workers from the Jewish majority and the Arab minority in Israel. The findings revealed high le…
Beyond formal authority
The importance of social work leadership in motivating staff and promoting changes is well recognized. However, there is limited evidence regarding informal leadership, particularly concerning expressions of informal leadership in ethnic minority contexts within multicultural societies. The present study addresses this gap by identifying leadership practices employed by social workers as informal leaders to promote organizational and social polic…
Intertwined worlds’
In an era of increasing social inequality, social workers are increasingly called upon to engage in policy shaping processes to advance social justice. In multicultural societies, this may include social workers whose cultural systems are often characterized by shared religious beliefs, values, and lifestyles. However, a significant knowledge gap exists regarding how these cultural systems influence social workers’ motivation for engagement in po…
Biting the hand that feeds’
In multicultural societies, the involvement of ethnic minoritized in policy arenas is essential for promoting equality and ensuring that the voices of disadvantaged minority groups are heard. This article presents empirical evidence regarding the level, form, and goals of ethnic minoritized involvement in policy arenas. Based on data from social workers of the Arab minority group in Israel employed in the public sector and in non-profit ethnic or…
Community Building in Crisis
Emergency displacement is a widespread phenomenon impacting all facets of life and increasing rates of psychological trauma. This article analyzes the effects of shared residency among evacuated and fragmented communities, focusing on social and communal disparities in temporary shelters. By adopting theoretical perspectives of community building and social capital, it describes interventions aimed at promoting resilience within newly formed shel…
You tell yourself, what do I know
Social service delivery to families from minority communities presents significant challenges in providing culturally competent care, particularly in sensitive contexts such as Planning, Intervention, and Evaluation Committees (PIECs). These committees address critical family matters, including risk assessments and out-of-home placement decisions, requiring a profound understanding of diverse cultural norms, perspectives, and practices. Research …
Involvement of Minority Social Workers in Policy Practice
In multicultural societies, social workers from diverse groups, including ethnic minority groups, may be engaged in policy practice. Their involvement is emphasised as important and essential to reducing gaps between the majority and the minority. Frontline managers may play a crucial role in legitimising minority social workers to act in policy arenas through forging the organisational culture. Their discretion of involvement can be influenced b…
Expanding the boundaries of hospitality
Family members and friends play a crucial role in refugees' arrival and settlement, including accommodating them in their homes for varying periods. While the migration literature has demonstrated the positive impact of such support for refugees' well-being, the relationship between the host and guest and the potential challenges of reunion and cohabitation are seldom explored. This study adopts the concept of 'hospitality'- a notion originally b…
Community organizing during the Covid‐19 pandemic
Minority communities have borne a disproportionate burden of adverse health outcomes during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Notwithstanding, there is a lack of empirical evidence regarding efforts to reduce health inequalities through community organizing. It is also unclear under what conditions professionals act as external assistance providers for community organizing as part of their role. Through multimethod research conducted among social workers wh…
Culturally Competent Policy Practice in Minority Communities during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Minority communities have borne a disproportionate burden of health, social and economic consequences during the pandemic. By engaging in policy-shaping processes, social workers can contribute to the development of beneficial policies for minority communities. When working in cross-cultural environments with majorities and minorities, social workers must develop cultural competence to be effective in policy practice. Despite the importance assoc…
Policy Practice in Non-profit Ethnic Minority Organisations
Despite growing interest in the involvement of social workers in policy design processes, this concept has been narrowly examined from the perspective of social workers who belong to ethnic minority groups and who are employed in non-profit ethnic minority organisations (NPEMOs) in multicultural societies. The present research sought to understand how the ethnic identity of minority social workers affects their perception to act in policy arenas …
When active representation is not enough
Community social workers as social entrepreneurs
Social entrepreneurship in social work is vital to finding innovative, creative, and long-term solutions to complex and persistent social problems. Among all social workers, community social workers are the ones who are most expected to be innovative and entrepreneurial. This study explored the motivations for engaging in social entrepreneurship, as well as the action strategies adopted by community social workers who successfully implemented soc…
Covid-19 and the changing roles of social workers in minority communities
Minority groups have been disproportionately vulnerable to COVID-19’s effects. Whereas, social workers have been instrumental in countering those effects, their roles have been understudied, particularly during the ‘new normal’ that followed the outbreak. This gap is addressed by drawing on interviews with 28 social workers in the Jewish ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) society in Israel, held after the outbreak and during the ‘new normal’. Three main rol…
Raising their voices’
The present article presents empirical evidence regarding factors that explain the involvement of social workers from minority groups in policy practice based on data from an extensive survey of social workers from the Arab minority group in Israel ( n = 218). The findings revealed that the sociopolitical context of an ethnic minority significantly affects their involvement in policy practice. In order to increase the involvement of minority soci…
Knowing poverty
Given the global and local social inequalities and the complex life circumstances of people living in poverty, social workers are called upon to broaden their knowledge with the purpose of developing social services that respond to the needs of this growing population. However, very little research has been done on the kind of knowledge that social workers require in order to care for this population. The present article focuses on the epistemolo…
Judgements of physicians, nurses, and social workers regarding suspected Child maltreatment in community health care services
This study investigated how physicians, nurses, and social workers in community health care services make judgements about possible child maltreatment in ambiguous situations. We examined the influences of social biases (i.e., perceptions linking ethnicity, gender, and family socioeconomic status to child maltreatment) and belonging to distinctive occupational groups (i.e., physicians, nurses, and social workers) on professionals' assessment of s…
Predictors of self-efficacy among residents of low-income neighborhoods
Assisting the development of clients’ self-efficacy and improving their quality of life by identifying and activating their strengths and resources is at the heart of social work. The present study therefore examines the unique and combined contribution of internal resources (self-esteem, mastery, and hope) and external resources (social support, social competence, and community involvement) to the explanation of the variance in self-efficacy in …
Social Entrepreneurship in Social Work
Objective: Due to the increasing complexity of social problems, social workers need to adopt an innovation and entrepreneurship lens to create innovative long-term solutions for diverse and vulnerable populations. We sought to understand what makes social work entrepreneurs innovative and successful. Method: We conducted in-depth semistructured interviews with 18 social workers in Israel who successfully established social services to tackle soci…
Personal, professional and political
The involvement of social workers in policy-making processes is grounded in a professional requirement for promoting social justice, however, it is inherently a political activity related to the socio-political context in which it occurs. What does this political involvement mean when it comes to minority social workers in multicultural societies, who are expected to act as policy actors in policy arenas designed by the majority group in society?…
Challenges Underlying the Involvement of Social Workers From Minority Groups in Policy Practice
Limited realisation of social justice and unequal access to basic social resources place demands on social workers to take action for the shaping of good public and social policy. Previous studies have identified various challenges that limit the involvement of social workers in policy practice. These challenges have been examined to a limited extent in the context of social workers belonging to ethnic minority groups in multicultural societies. …
Reinforcing public responsibility? Influences and practices in street‐level bureaucrats' engagement in policy design
Previous literature demonstrates that when street‐level bureaucrats believe that the policy as designed is not desirable, they utilize various strategies to change the situation. This study suggests that when street‐level bureaucrats believe that fixing a policy through the manner in which it is implemented is not enough, they will try to influence the design of the policy directly. Three factors promote this decision: public perceptions revealed…
Between Majority and Minority
The engagement of social workers in policy-shaping processes reflects the commitment of the social work profession to promoting equality and social justice. Whilst in many countries engagement is a professional requirement, one cannot ignore the fact that it is essentially a political activity inextricably linked to the socio-political context in which it occurs. Cultural competence for engagement in shaping policy processes is necessary to promo…

Working through Barriers
Although social workers’ engagement in policy-shaping processes to advance social justice reflects this obligation of the social work profession, many social workers avoid implementing policy practice (PP). Previous studies have identified several barriers limiting social workers’ use of this practice. However, how such barriers can be overcome remains under-studied. In this study, we address this lacuna by examining the role of social workers vi…
Between Professional Norms and Professionalism
Purpose: Four factors might bias child risk assessment and recommendation of treatment for children at high risk among Arab social workers in Israel: collaboration of parents and social workers; improvement in child conditions; and child’s gender; as well as the social worker’s personal, cultural, and professional characteristics. Methods: An experimental survey design, using case descriptions manipulating cooperation, improvement and child’s gen…

Methods: The current study used an experimental-design embedded within a survey. Data regarding custody recommendations were collected from 137 Israeli Arab social workers. Results: Israeli Arab social workers tend to adhere to traditional norms and prefer mother’s custody (odds ratio [ OR] = 3.74; effect size [ES…
Toolbox Recommendations for Social Workers to Promote Successful Social Entrepreneurship
Social entrepreneurship in social work is presented in the literature as an important practice considering its ability to provide long-term, innovative, and creative interventions for social problems. However, many doubt the ability of social workers to act as social entrepreneurs. This study examined action strategies adopted by social workers who established innovative services to address social problems. Data were collected from qualitative in…

Social Work Practice with Ethnic Minorities during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Although the critical role of social workers in the fight against the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and support for communities affected by the virus was stressed in international declarations of the social work profession, how social workers fulfil their role in practice has remained virtually unexplored. This question is of greater importance when it comes to ethnic minority communities that may be disproportionately vulnerable …
Using risk factor statistics in decision-making
Society expects social workers and other professionals to use the best available knowledge in making decisions. Statistical (numerical) data are rapidly becoming an increasing part of the repertoire of knowledge available to professionals. However, social workers can at times seem reluctant to use statistics to inform their judgement processes when considering the assessment and seriousness of risk factors. This paper explores and considers the p…

Child’s Religiosity, Ethnic Origin, and Gender
Social workers are called upon as expert witnesses to assess risk to children and recommend interventions. It is hypothesized that risk assessments and decisions are influenced by the risk-to-child as well as personal attitudes and biases. We examined the role of the ethnic origin, religiosity, and child gender on assessments and recommendation. Methods: The current study used a survey-based balanced crossover experimental design. One hundred and…

When active representation is not enough
Between Professionalism and Traditional Social Norms
When divorcing parents are in conflict about child custody and parental responsibility, social workers have to make a recommendation to the court about which parent should be awarded custody. This recommendation must be based on rational considerations, and the best interest of the child. A gap between parents’ functioning must be a determining factor, and a child’s wishes and parent’s gender take second place. However, when the parents’ level of…

The role of parental communication, child's wishes and child's gender in social workers' custody recommendations
Religious Coping in Stressful Situations
Religious coping has been found to help people in stressful situations. It takes place within a specific cultural religious/context yet its measurement has not always been adapted to the context of the study population. The aim of this study was to develop an instrument to measure religious coping among religious Jews—a population that has received little research attention—and assess the associations of religious coping strategies with emotional…
