520 # # |a Social workers, in whatever capacity they work, can expect to come into contact with women who have experienced/are experiencing violence and with women who are experiencing depression.� Therefore, a range of social work supports and interventions are required in order to meet the needs of diverse women and assist them in their recovery.� One of these methods is group work where women can share their experiences, learn from each other, reflect on their learnings and identify and achieve changes in their circumstances.� This book is based on original research by the author that sought to understand depression in women from a feminist and gender-informed perspective, develop a feminist-based group work response, and highlight the activities of consciousness-raising and resistance as methods for women to achieve change in their lives and in their selves.� An innovative and creative group work program, the Women s Journaling Group Program, was developed from this research and provides a new method of working with women who have experienced/are experiencing violence and mild-moderate depression. The Women s Journaling Group Program is research-informed, theoretically-grounded, practice-based and feminist and gender-focused.�This book, and the program model within it, is an important contribution to the field of critical feminist social work practice.
