EMPOWERMENT SERIES: GENERALIST PRACTICE WITH ORGANIZATIONS AND COMMUNITIES, 7th Edition helps students understand the challenges and opportunities of macro practice and develop the competencies and component behaviors required by the Council on Social Work Education's (CSWE) latest Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS). Authors Karen Kirst-Ashman and Grafton Hull are adept at weaving interesting cases and realistic practical examples into the main text. They emphasize the practice skills students will need to work effectively with organizations and communities - providing leadership, working with supervisors, managing conflict, working with the media, using new technologies, fundraising, grant writing, and managing stress. The text continues to emphasize the connections between working for change in organizations and communities and the skills used in other generalist practice courses. This edition is available with the MindTap online learning solution.
