SOWK 531 Foundations of Practice

(3)

The social work practice methods course enables students to understand and apply social work theories, strategies, and techniques for helping individuals, families, groups, organizations and communities within the context of the generalist perspective. Students will continue development of critical thinking skills by applying them to the analysis of evidenced-based practice methods and interventions. Students will integrate knowledge of evidence-based practice applicable to micro, mezzo, and macro levels of social work with clients and populations-at-risk; maintain commitment to economic and social justice, ethical practice, the strengths perspective, the planned change process and cultural differences.
