Community Partnerships
Community challenges force human service agencies to collaborate in providing services. Such collaborations require practitioners to have skills not found in mainstream social work curricula.

Whereas all groups of legislators found behavioral explanations moderately important, there was significant variation by race, gender, and political pa…
