Prerequisites: Restricted to Graduate Social Work Students.
This course focuses on integrated practice approaches that span three frameworks, including micro (e.g. individuals, families, and groups), mezzo (e.g. communities), and macro (e.g. systems, society) levels. It will examine various theories and models, the quality and utility of empirical research, as well as the impact of interprofessional and interdisciplinary collaboration efforts.
Outcomes: 1) Apply ethical, professional, and anti-oppressive social work values to engage individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities using integrated micro, mezzo, and macro practice frameworks that advance human rights and social justice; 2) Assess social problems, client systems, and policy contexts using person-in-environment, systems, and policy-aware frameworks to identify strengths, risks, and structural influences across micro, mezzo, and macro levels of practice; 3) Design and implement integrated intervention strategies that address social problems through coordinated micro, mezzo, and macro actions to promote equitable, sustainable change.
