As a social worker engages with people and other associations, various theoretical frameworks must be applied to make greater changes. Assessment tools, best practices, different therapies are all methods of intervention to accomplish goals. I will use critical skills and analytical skills for interventions. I will intervene on the micro, mezzo, and macro levels.
8A – Implement clinical evidence-based interventions with individuals, families, and/or groups
Course Evidence: During my Advanced Clinical Practice II course, I practiced Cognitive Behavior Therapy in a group pseudo session. I used active listening, reflective, and critical thinking skills. In the video recording, I was utilizing the CBT steps for leading a group session. (Affective level: receiving, valuing) To view the video, please click here.
Field Evidence: At Collegedale Academy, I worked with a group of Kindergarten students to teach social skills. When working with small children, it is best to engage with them by play therapy. In utilizing the Social Learning theory, during one of the sessions, we played a board game to practice good sportsmanship. To view the journal, please click here.
8B – Integrate macro level evidence-based strategies with organizations and/or communities
Course Evidence: In my Advanced Administrative Practice class, my classmates and I created an organization proposal as an assignment.The organization is called Proposito. Due to the values of service and social justice, the organization’s mission is to provide holistic services to immigrants living in the Chattanooga, Tennessee community. To render proper services, we shared evidenced-based interventions in working with immigrants in the organization proposal.

Field Evidence: Due to the pandemic, society has to practice safety measures in order to decrease the spread of COVID-19. In order to practice social distancing and bring awareness of the safety measures, I created an informational session on COVID-19 home safety measures for the residents of Newark, NJ.
