In this course, we will explore different methods that social workers use across different levels to address issues of Rights, Justice, and Empowerment for their clients.
Three broad levels: Community, Group and Individual work will be considered in the module as well as different tools/methods that social workers can use in their work (including advocacy, community organising, disaster management, social work group, task centered practice, solution focussed methods, motivational interviewing, family and systems theory).
The course provides inputs on the various methods to enable students to familiarise themselves with the palette of different methods available. The course is not meant to develop skills for practice (which follows in the fifth semester with practice).
