Imagine you have just started working for a local social service agency. You have been assigned a case with a single mother and a young child. The mother is recovering from substance abuse. She is looking for a job but is running into several issues such as limited income, her possible loss of Medicaid, and childcare. This situation poses a dilemma. What do you do? By understanding your local, state, and federal policies, you can advocate for change or rally community support for service development.
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:
Assess how social welfare and economic policies impact the delivery of and access to social services. (PO 5)
Demonstrate character, scholarship, and leadership in becoming a world changer through application to personal life and professional social work practice.
Demonstrate Christ-like attitudes, values, worldviews, and ethical and professional behavior within advanced clinical practice.
