This course focuses on the student's development and integration of professional use of self in their direct practice with family systems and couples. This course builds on the knowledge and skills gained in SWK-505 Social Work Practice I (work with individuals). This course will begin to expand the student's view of generalist Social Work practice by moving from micro to mezzo approaches.

Students continue to develop and refine their skills in professional writing, advocacy, and interviewing.
