1. Behind the Frontline
Behind the Frontline gives a fictional glimpse into the lives of those individuals providing support on the Frontlines and the individuals receiving support from Frontline workers. It provides insight into the sacrifices made by frontline workers, the connections made to the downtrodden through the inherent human spirit. It shines a light on the successes and triumphs made in the midst of societal conflicts against all odds. This book is a "mirror image" of thought-provoking scenarios to challenge your social outlook of Social Workers, Social Service Workers and Consumers of the Service within marginalized communities. Hopefully it changes your perspective, and if not, ideally it allows you to join the conversation in a meaningful way and find some level of camaraderie in the reality faced by frontline workers.
