“…I believe every Latina needs a motive as to why they are doing this to be successful. My motive was to escape my childhood and help my mother move forward…As a clinical social worker, I strive to provide quality care to everyone. Growing up with limited funds, I understood the value being treated with respect and dignity. I use my privilege and position of power to advocate for those who are oppressed by society.”- Jessica Hardial, MA, LCSW, PhD (c)

Latinx in Social Work is a book is about space. The space we take up, the spaces we create and nurture, and the spaces that have yet to exist, but are so crucial to the growth and development of Latinx social workers, mental health practitioners, executives, and professionals in all industries in this country, and beyond. This book is a revolutionary step in creating a movement that is committed to owning our own narratives, naming common but unspoken struggles and challenges, and driving our own healing from the past while highlighting our successes and creating a space for hope for the future.
