SWRK 8085 - Innovations in SW Practice

(3) This course will introduce students to theories of assessment, intervention, diversity, evaluation, and termination. Specific attention is given to the development of context-relevance and evidence-based interventions commonly used in current practice over a variety of specific client and community needs. Challenges and concerns especially unique to vulnerable families, oppressed families, at-risk families, military families, low-income families, families of color, and nontraditional families are reviewed within an individual and family framework. Students will also develop an understanding of how values and ethics impact social work practice with each of the practice models.
