Social Work Practice and Chicano(as)/Latino(as) Rosa Guerrero Intro to Chicano Culture Faculty Mentor: Dr. Martin Meraz Garcia

Abstract  My paper is going to focus on the social work program and whether or not it effectively prepares undergraduate students to work with the Chicano/Latino community. I will be examining basic demographic information about the Latino population within the state of Washington as well as nationally. I will also be analyzing the demographics of staff and faculty that make up the social work program to see if any of them come from diverse backgrounds that understand the socio-cultural factors that Chicano/Latinos face. With the use of peer reviewed articles, I will be analyzing the future needs of Latinos by social work professionals in relation to status, stability, and depression and potential problems that may arise from the lack of preparation to meet the needs of this population. This study will address the importance of preparing future social workers on issues of cultural competency so they can better serve the fastest growing ethnic minority group in the United States.  Keywords: Social Work, Latinos, Chicano, Diversity, Status, Stability, Depression, Cultural Competency

Social Work Code of Ethics  1.05 Cultural Competence and Social Diversity  (a) Social workers should understand culture and its function in human behavior and society, recognizing the strengths that exist in all cultures.  (b) Social workers should have a knowledge base of their clients’ cultures and be able to demonstrate competence in the provision of services that are sensitive to clients’ cultures and to differences among people and cultural groups.  (c) Social workers should obtain education about and seek to understand the nature of social diversity and oppression with respect to race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, and mental or physical disability.

Chicano(a)/Latino(a) Social Workers  Underrepresentation of Latinos(as) as full-time faculty in social work education programs  In 2010, only 5.8 percent of full-time Latino(a) faculty in joint undergraduate-graduate in the Social Work programs  Low number of Spanish speaking caseworkers

 90 percent of graduate students agreed cultural sensitive practice is very important for preparation to work with Latinos/as  Only 40 percent of the faculty believed their students were competent enough  Latino social workers have a deep commitment for contribution for the Latino community. However they expressed context in direct practice, teaching and field instruction and not serving the needs of the community.  Social justice, advocacy, and cultural competence are the main key values of social workers
