SW-521 SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE I

The first of two courses in Foundation Practice introduces the skills of generalist practice with individuals, families and groups within a community context. Grounded in the values and ethics of the profession, students learn the application and evaluation of skills used in the initial phase of helping. Emphasis is on the relation of the attributes of client systems, agency and community contexts, and worker roles in practice. The effects of oppression, the role of diversity, recognition of strengths and promotion of resilience in client systems are considered. Field Education I must be taken concurrently with this course.
