Summary:

"In this training video, a group of social workers demystify the legislative process and show how social work students can begin to become effective advocates for policy change. The video explores eight principles that can assist any social worker in lobbying their legislative body. You will learn how, as a lobbyist, a social worker's role is to represent and empower disempowered populations. Social workers can do this better than most because they see the effects of laws every day in their practice, and those who enact laws can be moved by the important stories social workers have to tell. 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.
