This course introduces students to both theory and methods for social work practice with diverse individuals, families, and small groups. It emphasizes a generalist perspective, beginning interviewing and relationship skills, problem assessment, goal setting, and contracting. Special attention is given to the common roles assumed by social workers (e.g., facilitator, broker, advocate) as well as development of self-reflection skills in relationship to the dynamics of intersectionality of those served. Prerequisite: BSW Major Plan.
