Summary:

"In this training video, Wendy Sherman, MSW, describes how social workers play a central role in guiding social change. The core principles of social work, such as person-in-situation and client self-determination, have guided Sherman's long career, and here she challenges the social workers in her audience to learn how to become effective in today's ever-challenging environment. You'll be able to identify and analyze some characteristics of change, know which principles are essential for social workers to remember, and come away inspired about the possibilities for social in the 21st century. 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.
