Canadian Scholars, 2026

Case Studies for Helping Professionals in Canada is an engaging collection of case studies illustrating the complex realities that helping professionals encounter in practice. Intended as a supporting resource for students in social work, social services, and human services, this text provides case studies that bridge theory and practice. Each chapter presents a compelling case with elements drawn from the author's more than 20 years of professional experience as a social worker. The cases emphasize client-centered practice and reflect the ethical dilemmas, systemic barriers, and emotional demands that shape the profession. Spanning the life course from children and youth to adults and seniors, the cases explore a wide range of practice areas, including child protection, family work, youth care, work with unhoused populations, substance dependence, disability, mental health, work with Indigenous people, community practice, 2SLGBTQ populations, and end-of-life care. Comprehensive, reflective, and distinctly Canadian, this text equips students with the insight and practical skills needed to navigate the complexities of the helping professions with competence, compassion, and confidence.
