SWK 620 - Advanced Social Welfare Policy: Families and Communities

Builds upon the basic foundation-year, Social Policy course. Focuses on problems, policies, and planning from the perspective of their impact on families and communities, an understanding of the American social welfare system, human behavior and social systems, and advanced generalist social work practice. Recognizing the fundamental duty of the social work profession to promote social equity and justice, focuses on policy practice geared towards helping oppressed and stigmatized families within a community context.
