Description: Sharing many of the features of Essential Spanish for Law Enforcement and Essential Spanish for Healthcare, this program offers a fast, efficient, and cost-effective way for employees in the social service sector to communicate successfully in Spanish.

Essential Spanish for Social Services quickly facilitates a basic ability to communicate effectively in Spanish by presenting only the most essential phrases, grammar, and cultural information needed for daily use on the job.

The program is organized by typical workplace situations, each of which is introduced with a branching dialogue that offers multiple responses to common questions. The situations involve topics such as Mental Health, HIV and Sexually Transmitted Diseases, Government Programs, Substance Abuse and Addiction, Family and Personal Relationships, and Depression and Suicide Prevention.

The complete package includes a 400-page manual (which is available for purchase separately), two 90-minute cassettes, and a 96-page, pocket-size reference booklet. The cassettes include English translations that make them suitable for use on the go.
