Description

This is the first of two advanced practice courses in community social work practice. An overview of community dynamics and the history of community development in the United States are reviewed, with special attention given to the role of faith based organizations in community change and congregational social work. Community strengths, assets, and leadership are examined. Multidisciplinary theories of community change, specifically involving populations at risk, are applied to cases. Prerequisites: SWK505, 515, and 525. (3 units; Fall)
