Language Barriers and PRTF treatment

Rachel Wolf – Kids TLC

According to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), Social Workers are encouraged to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion to benefit clients despite potential agency or systemic barriers. Language barriers require integrated health professionals to seek bilingual clinicians or interpreters to serve clients. During my practicum at KidsTLC, I was inspired to further my understanding of how the language barrier impacts clients and then consider how social workers can strive towards breaking a language barrier to best serve their clients throughout treatment.
