This activity aims to help student groups in an undergraduate macro social work course understand what a social problem is, how to reimage issues that affect a group of people, research the magnitude of the problem, and develop a workable solution. It also gives students practice experience working in groups and using TEAMS  demonstrating leadership skills as each collaborates on research and development of the social problem report.

Given the high prevalence of disability worldwide, the status of disabled people remains an area of concern for practitioners who seek to respectfully engage with a stigmatized and often oppressed population. The book encourages practitioners to draw on intersectionality theory, the critical cultural competence framework and anti-oppressive practice approaches to contend with the concerns facing disabled people today. These issues include parenting, mass incarceration, ableism, aging and employment, among others. This title acknowledges difference and multisystemic privilege and oppression while also drawing readers’ attention to the importance of solidarity and allyship when it comes to meaningful social work practice with and social change for disabled people.

This is the first book on the intersection of the fields of social work, sociometry, and psychodrama. It provides an overview of integrated sociometry and psychodrama tools into practice. It also summarizes Moreno’s work on sociometry, psychodrama, and group psychotherapy Is an open access book

The goal is to create a process for students to learn about the decolonization movement in Social Work and apply these concepts to reimage group work. They will do this by choosing a “problem” to address using group work,
they will then research evidence based practices (EBP) or best practices (BP) for addressing their problem, then
they will explore and propose ways to decolonize the EBP or BP and complete a group proposal.

The event includes high-profile speakers and breakout sessions that provide strategies for understanding equity through a trauma-informed practices approach. The site will provide access to speaker keynotes and breakout session recordings and materials from both.
With consideration to current social movements in the U.S., as well as the recent advent of widespread distance learning, equity work is needed now more than ever. Our students deserve our highest-level of support.

Module I discusses effects of sexual abuse trauma on young children; describes the adverse effects of sexual abuse trauma and the role of past victimization experiences in motivating sexual acting out; includes a literature review; and covers affective, cognitive, and behavioral effects. Two practice models that explain the effects of abuse are discussed and compared, and an integrative treatment model is introduced. Module II discusses childhood sexual development, reviews research on sexual behavior problems in children, presents research findings about normative sexual development in children as well as criteria differentiating sexually abusive behavior problems from age-appropriate sex play, includes experiential exercises on sexual values, and reviews and discusses clinical and research methods used to classify types of children with sexual behavior problems. Each module contains learning objectives, suggested readings, an outline of issues addressed in the module, and suggestions for teaching the module in the classroom and in field practicum.
