Building Bridges, Not Barriers: Financial Social Work in Action
Building Bridges, Not Barriers: Financial Work in Action is a bold call to reimagine how we tackle financial vulnerability, not just through numbers, but through systems, relationships, and policy.
Written by Dino KF Wong, an experienced financial coach, credit counsellor, and social worker, this book delivers a forward-thinking framework that bridges financial empowerment with social policy. It sheds light on the hidden costs of financial trauma, digital exclusion, and the instability of the gig economy while offering evidence-informed solutions rooted in ethical, strengths-based practice.
This book provides more than insight, it offers a roadmap for high-impact, scalable interventions that align with national priorities in mental health, digital equity, and workforce development. It makes a compelling case for investing in integrated models that deliver not only financial resilience but also improved social outcomes and reduced long-term service dependency.
This is not just a resource. It’s a strategic tool to drive systemic change, uplift communities, and build a more equitable economic future.
