A significant number of Iraqi citizens have fled from their country in an effort to live in a
safe environment. Jordan has opened its borders to Iraqi citizens, providing them with
supporting services. This complicated situation creates and maintains challenges for
social work practitioners, as they have to provide additional and culturally appropriate services to this particular population. A need was identified, to develop both education
and practice in order to become more multicultural-oriented, as well as the need to start
renegotiating their role as professionals and agents of delivering culturally competent
practice. A research project about the current living conditions of Iraqi asylum seekers
and refugees revealed the necessity to understand how to develop, demonstrate and
disseminate theory that will have a real, positive and practical influence on professionals
and their practice. This particular article refers to the lessons learned from Jordan.
