Abstract

Surviving an M.S.W. program took on new meaning for the players in this scene when nature decided to redesign the set. The 16 students and two instructors in this real-life drama of survival had no idea that their classes would be joined by two additional members: Katrina and Rita. This is the authors' story of helping, hurting, loss, recovery, empowerment, and multiple parallel processes in social work in the midst of Katrina and Rita. Participation in these processes was not symbolic, not virtual, but actual paths forged by two hurricanes.
