(5 credits)

This is an advanced practice course designed to provide students with opportunities to examine social work practice with diverse child and family systems using relational theory, attachment theory, and principles of trauma-informed care. Through case studies, videos, and interactive media, students apply social work skills of engagement, collaboration, assessment, and child-centered therapies designed to build on strengths that exist within individuals and in the social contexts where children and families live. Students explore how to foster child and family success in their social environments, especially those challenged by trauma, poverty, violence, loss, and/or oppression. Additionally, students critically evaluate legal and ethical issues that arise in social work with dependent populations.
