Description:

This course introduces students to the professional roles, values, ethical standards, knowledge, skills, and technological tools for effective cross-cultural generalist social work practice with individuals, families, and small groups. Using a strengths-based perspective, students explore effective practice approaches in relation to a variety of social problems, including those exacerbated by factors related to deprivation and social injustice. By examining what motivates people of diverse backgrounds and experiences to seek or reject change within the context of a helping relationship, students learn empirically-based approaches to enhance their interpersonal and written communication, interviewing, data gathering, assessment, intervention, and evaluation skills.
