This course will view the practice of social work in health care as the integration of physical and mental health. We will explore in depth the biopsychosocial concomitants of physical and mental disorders. The integration of both health and mental health has implications for assessment and intervention and relies upon a person-centered/relation-centered framework.
Outcomes: Demonstrate and apply ethical, professional, and collaborative behavior by integrating social work values, standards, and interprofessional communication skills in healthcare settings to support holistic client care; Analyze and evaluate health disparities and systemic inequities by applying evidence-informed research and policy frameworks that advance human rights, social, racial, and economic justice in healthcare practice; Design, implement, and assess biopsychosocial-spiritual interventions that address the complex needs of individuals and families across diverse healthcare contexts through culturally responsive and client-centered practice.
