SWK 4520 Generalist Social Work Practice II

(formerly SWK 452; SWK 254 Practice II)

This second course in the generalist social work practice sequence serves as a continuation of SWK 3510 with increased emphasis on the helping process at the mezzo level of practice, focusing on work with small groups, families, and evidenced-based practice evaluation. Social work with small groups will focus on planning, developmental stages, roles and basic intervention skills. Family social work will focus on families from diverse backgrounds, dealing with multiple issues, and utilize genogram, assessment, engagement and basic intervention skills. Students will be helped to integrate new learning through discussion, role-play, presentations, videos and class participation in conjunction with concurrent fieldwork experiences. (Social Work majors only)
