What you’ll be able to do

  • Use a client-centered approach to assess and analyze a client and their family’s needs and strengths, through a person in their environment lens.

  • Identify a client and their family’s varying needs and demonstrate the ability to incorporate those needs into well designed service/treatment goals that create a framework for interventions that create sustainable change.

  • Understand a wide variety of evidence-based treatment modalities that can be used to address the identified problem and support service/treatment goals and be able to articulate, incorporate, and effectively demonstrate a multitude of evidence-based interventions that address the identified problem and use a client and their family’s strengths.

  • Understand the importance of practice evaluation and how evaluation measures are applied to assess, evaluate, and improve service providing, including applying the NASW Code of Ethics to identify, deconstruct, and create a plan of action for any ethical dilemmas that may present in the course of practice.

  • Evaluate personal bias, societal privileges (or non-privileged), and systemic elements of racism, discrimination, and oppression, as well as create practice measures that advocate and facilitate positive change for all clients.
