    Susan Glassburn, Susan Glassburn Larimer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Teaching in Social Work2018References: 2

    Over the last decade, there has been increased momentum to bring the worlds of physical and behavioral health care together. Instead of social work education simply reacting to this change, it is imperative that we be proactive and prepare students to be “multilingual,” that is, be able to speak and function in both the worlds of health and mental health so they can move seamlessly into the new world of integrated care.
