Summary:

"In this training video, a group of social workers discuss how practitioners can form legislative coalitions. Commitment of time, money, and resources are all needed to form coalitions, but the effort is necessary if social workers want to effect real legislative change. This video illustrates the skills, like consensus building, that are needed not only to start, but to sustain coalitions to take on the complex tasks of engaging with legislative bodies. By watching this video, you will learn the process of how a budget is finalized. By watching this video, you will learn how a budget is formed; understand the legislative process and describe the steps for enacting legislation; understand the importance of building coalitions with other social workers and learn how to do this effectively; discover how direct practice experience can be an effective tool when advocating on the macro level; and understand the ethical dimensions of lobbying Congress for social workers using the National Association of Social Worker's Code of Ethics. Intended for students and practitioners in clinical psychology, counseling, social work, and related health professions." Supplied by publisher.
