Multisystemic Social Work Practice and Advocacy with Families

This course facilitates the development of family systems practice skills with clients, individuals, couples, families, organizations, constituencies and communities. You’ll develop multisystemic strategies and techniques using family systems theory as part of the ongoing process of engagement, assessment and intervention. Students learn strategies and techniques through role-play demonstrations, practice intake/assessment/goal setting, develop preliminary interventions and practice professional documentation. You will reflect on your personal bias, cultural bias, assumptions, values and affective reactions that may influence your relationships with clients.
