Children from poor families are limited by poor material and emotional support, which has led to them being on the margins of society. When faced with changes in their living environment, they even showed a sense of embarrassment and panic that was difficult to adapt. As a profession based on helping others to help themselves, social work plays an active role in assisting these children to adapt to the environment.

A review of the course content in behavior therapy and single-subject research designs offered by 67 of the 99 accredited or preaccredited graduate schools of social work was conducted. Although behavior therapy is a viable perspective in social work education, the approach seems embedded in a context of clinical eclecticism which does not seem likely to provide adequate training in either learning theory or behavioral methods.

Abstract Refugees’ successful integration into US society requires adaptation to economic, financial and social norms. Despite the importance of considering financial challenges (financial stress and financial anxiety) and financial capacity (financial literacy and financial self-efficacy) in reaching personal financial goals, literature examining the relationship between financial challenges and capacity—critical in refugee resettlement and integration—is sparse and fragmented. This study explored financial challenges and capacity amongst resettled African refugees (N = 130) in the southern USA using data from a larger community-based participatory research study that used a mixed-methods approach. We explored socio-demographic differences in financial stress, financial anxiety, financial literacy and financial self-efficacy across African refugee subpopulation groups. Our study highlights the importance of social work advocacy for data disaggregation, which helps establish the scope of the problem, unmask subpopulation differences and make vulnerable groups more visible to facilitate the development of tailored programmes and services to reach economic integration goals. We provide social work implications for data disaggregation in the current corona virus context, which will leave long-term financial scars on refugee subpopulations.
