An approach for engaging with a mixed-race, rural community using social work values and community-based participatory research framework

ABSTRACT

This article presents evidence-informed community engagement practices implemented in a rural and remote area of Utah to highlight core social work values that encourage: (1) self-determination and emphasize community strengths; (2) community partnerships; (3) ethical practices, such as acting responsibly and honestly; and (4) community members to recognize that they have the knowledge to solve the issues that impact their community. This process resulted in the delivery of six trauma seminars that targeted front-line workers in positions likely to encounter clients and patients who have experienced trauma.
