Direct Practice Clinical 3 CEUS – VIRTUAL

Direct practice in social work constitutes one-on-one contact with people at the micro level and is usually identified as working with people directly at the individual, group, or family level.


Rather than specifying a particular theory, direct practice is seen as an eclectic process structured by the problem-solving process with the guiding underlying principles of sensitivity to social diversity and promotion of social and economic justice. At the micro level, this most often involves bringing services to and improving the quality of life of people who are vulnerable and oppressed. This presentation is for three hours of ceus (clinical practice). We will review basic content of the area of Direct Practice in social work practice.

Objective:

• Participants will review the intervention process and increase their learning and confidence in service delivery.
• Participants will become more competent in understanding and applying several practice interventions.
• Attendees will learn basic information on how to organize on a macro/community level.
• Class participants will discuss program planning and development, policy analysis, administration, and program evaluation.
• Attendees will refamiliarize themselves with much of the content in Direct and Indirect Practice.
• Review of Intake, screening and case management services.
