Social workers today confront complex practice challenges as corporate interests trump human need in a rapidly globalizing world economy. One way to meet these challenges is through a social justice-oriented approach to practice that recognizes the dynamic interplay of group work, research, and community change. This article conceptualizes community-based participatory research (CBPR) as social justice-oriented group work and uses a case example to illustrate practice principles that inform group work knowledge and skills and contribute to the effectiveness of CBPR. Expanding the possibilities for social group work thought and practice are discussed.
