Summary:

"In this training video, social workers offer an overview of recent public policy developments, illustrating concrete ways for social work students to begin influencing them. The first section of this video explores the "new federalism" and highlights why it is so important that social workers pay attention to social policies. The second section is a primer on the legislative process and details how a student can influence it through a commitment to improving clients' lives through legislative action. The final section of the video is a call to action that includes a list of projects or activities that social work students, faculty, and others could initiate in order to influence state policy and legislation. 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.
