Social Work Skills Lab I

Barbara Solomon School of Social Work and Human Services

Walden University

Final Project Presentation

Goals:

· Apply knowledge from residency to a social problem

· Reflect and integrate residency material

· Demonstrate key practice behaviors in a presentation

Assignment:

During the on-ground, residency portion of the Skills Lab I, you will have attended sessions covering topics relevant to generalist practice in social work. For this cumulative assignment, you join with a group of three to four students to create a presentation addressing a social problem from a generalist social work perspective. During the presentation, you and each group member are expected to demonstrate foundation-level practice skills.

The presentation will be focused by each group on a relevant social issue chosen from one of the following broad topics below:

Affirmative action

Health disparities

Racism

Ageism/age discrimination

HIV/AIDS

Sexual assault/rape

Child abuse

Homelessness

Substance abuse and addiction

Classism

Human trafficking

Suicide

Disaster relief

Intimate partner violence

Teen pregnancy

Dream act/immigration policies

LGBTQ rights

Violence against women

Eating disorders

Living wage

Women’s reproductive rights

Elder abuse

Mental health

Youth violence

Environmental justice

Physician-assisted suicide/right to die

Health care reforms

Poverty

If you would like to choose a topic outside of this list, consult with and get permission from your Instructor. There should be no duplication of topics within the same session.

As part of the Final Project, you develop a PowerPoint presentation that includes key learnings from the residency experience. The presentation should include the following:

· Identification of the social problem with research supporting the background presented.

· You must demonstrate that this social problem exists by communicating the number of those impacted and the impact on disenfranchised groups.

· Include considerations of diversity and cultural awareness.

· It is expected that research and supported data will be presented from appropriate sources (e.g., peer-reviewed studies or government websites).

· Discussion on how the social problem impacts society on all practice levels (micro, mezzo, and macro). Be sure to integrate evidence-based social work practice, research, and policy.

· Identification of how social workers can ameliorate or mitigate the social problem using social work skills. (Hint: Think about the generalist intervention model.) In the final presentation, you should include evidence-based practices (EBPs) and specific policy implications for your identified social problems. Make sure to provide citations and sources of support (specific journal articles) that support your choices.

The presentation is expected to be 15 minutes, with 5 minutes of questions from your cohort (a total of 20 minutes for the presentation and questions). You should time your presentation to make sure it is no longer than 15 minutes. Appropriate citations are expected for all of the information presented. Without appropriate citations, the information will not be considered valid.

You are expected to use your advising/practice time in residency to create and participate in the project. Your ability to gain full points on the residency component of the Social Work Skills Lab depends on a quality presentation that demonstrates critical thinking and thoughtfulness. You will not be successful in this project by assigning out different pieces to group members and then integrating at the final moments. You are expected to work together with your group each afternoon on this project while faculty will be available to assist.

This is a group assignment with a group grade. Groups are randomly assigned on the first day of residency. If there is a problem within the group dynamics, part of the grade is the ability of the group to work out these issues and to collaborate and create a cohesive presentation.
