ABSTRACT
We are delighted to have been invited to write the foreword to this publication. Both of us became familiar with the authors through our work as editors on the original special edition of the Social Work Education journal on ‘Substance Use in Social Work Education and Training’ which featured most of the chapters included in this book. It is particularly exciting to have the opportunity to put together these chapters, with for the first time, the additional material that was published in subsequent editions of the journal simply because the special edition was oversubscribed.
