Students are expected to identify local, state, or national policies such as laws and legislation that impact problems or areas of concern. We are all expected to advocate verbally as well as in writing.
This course has focused on preparing students for an advocacy role by reinforcing how the government is structured and beginning our journey to engage history to advance social work practice in our contemporary society.
The final project is designed to help you prepare for a career as a professional social worker by accessing data, resources, and other information from a policy perspective. You must engage in policy practice to advance social and economic wellbeing. Besides, you need to ensure your inquiry’s broad scope to engage diversity and difference in practice.
You will identify a focus of inquiry from one specific policy area as negotiated and further refined between the student and the instructor. These are generally in the policy areas of mental health and substance abuse.
You will identify a population of concern. Each student will locate some data related to these policies’ potential impact on people living in Miami-Dade County, such as the population primarily impacted and what information you can find to tell us about the people affected by these laws. Include a summary as well as the citation and location of the information.
You will identify the primary and relevant laws and administrative policies that impact your area of inquiry. These include federal, state, and local resources. You will provide the citation and reference and summarize what information you have located and why it is relevant. This step will demonstrate that you know how to seek guidance and clarification from governmental laws, codes, and other external guidance forms.
It would help if you looked at these policy areas from a global perspective. Identify empirical research articles, books, videos, and other forms of information addressing social welfare policies and issues concerning this policy area. Remember, we need to engage diversity and difference in practice and advance human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice so think broadly. Provide a table, summarize your findings, and tell us why these resources are useful to you as a professional social worker.
What is the potential impact of this legislation on human rights, social and/or economic justice for the client population?
