SWK 540 - ORG&PRAC/FAM DECISION III

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Social Work

Description:

In this course students refine their understanding of the implications of family group decision making and family-centered social work practice on child permanence and its reciprocal influence on social welfare policy. They also practice the policy change skills necessary to make organizations change in order to carry out the ideals of the Family Decision Making Model as it is sanctioned by the communities in which it operates. Learning includes experiential understanding of the family-in-environment perspective and the macro-level change component of advanced generalist social work practice. The social, cultural, economic, and political factors affecting the quest for permanence in a setting the child perceives to be his or her own family form the context for this consideration of macro-level practice.
