Abstract
This is a collection of case studies specifically focuses on rural social work practice. Drawing from real-work practice experiences in the Rocky Mountain West, these eight case studies explore ethical dilemmas, dual relationships, cultural practices, and resource limitations unique to rural social work practice. The cases cover a range of settings including child protection, mental health, medical social work, and legal systems. They examine how geographic isolation, limited resources, and cultural contexts shape service delivery and client outcomes. Each case study is accompanied by guided discussion questions to promote critical thinking about social work practice in rural areas. This open educational resource (OER) represents a collaborative effort between MSW students and faculty.
