Social workers can be found in the margins of society in their work with individuals, communities, and organizations. These four senior social work students discuss their engagement with clients at their field practice sites, such as hospice care and public schools. Student research topics draw on data retrieved at their field practice sites and include chronic absenteeism, depression in children, frequent psychiatric hospitalization, and use of psychosocial services among hospice patients. This presentation intersects with the theme of life’s blueprints by demonstrating how social workers’ evaluations of relevant social programs model ethically principled behavior by engaging in practice-informed research that has the potential to advance dignity and worth of an individual.
