WOKSHOPS

1. THE BLACK DELINQUENT
Individually focused treatment is not sufficient in attempting to solve problems of the Black Delinquent. The Focal concern has to be on "all out war on delinquency." The goal of the Black social worker is to involve the child, his family and the adult community in both social treatment and social change. Action implications for N.A.B.S.W.
