MSW 5000 Week 5 – Assignment: Explore Social Work Practice from Multiple Ecological Levels

Social work practice occurs at several different levels: micro, mezzo, and macro levels. An understanding of the impact on families at all levels is critical for you to develop a comprehensive assessment of the problems families face and are dealing with. For you to integrate all possible perspectives and explanations of a family’s issues, you must explore the various perspectives. 

For this assignment, select a family issue such as alcohol abuse, working with a disabled member of the family, a marital affair, a child with severe emotional or behavioral problems at school, sexual orientation, or another issue you are interested in researching further. 

Develop a pamphlet for use with potential clients, their families, or friends of that person. Include the various perspectives at the micro, mezzo, and macro level regarding the family issue you have selected. Be sure to include any social justice issues that may arise with your selected problem. Illustrate evidence-based practices in working to resolve the problem for your intended audience.

Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included.

Length: 2 to 3-page pamphlet, not including title and reference pages
