Social workers a key part of disaster recovery, says ÆÞÓÑ prof
Andrew Lam · CBC News · Posted: May 02, 2025
Social workers can play a large role in supporting people through trauma after a disaster, says a ÆÞÓÑ professor who was part of a two-day conference in Halifax this week.
Jeff Karabanow, who teaches social work at Dal, was among the scholars from Canada and around the world who gathered on Thursday and Friday to discuss responses to climate change and disasters and to share lessons learned.
"Disasters tend to have larger impacts on more … vulnerable populations," said Karabanow, who was part of a panel discussion on the role of social work in climate disaster planning and supporting society's most vulnerable.
