Eastern University

Subject:

Social Work

Description:

Building upon SOWK 561 (Generalist Social Work Practice with Individuals and Families) this course advances the knowledge required to work collaboratively with a variety of groups: task, educational, self-help, committees, boards, and treatment groups. Drawing upon a strengths-based paradigm, students learn, develop and practice group leadership skills with diverse clients both in the classroom and in the concurrent field experience, focusing on beginning, leading and terminating groups. Attention is paid to issues of mutual aid, empowerment, social/economic/environmental justice and group practice with at-risk populations. Evaluation of group outcomes using qualitative and quantitative methods will be examined.
