Overview
Focusing on the population group and condition you identified in you
Overview
Focusing on the population group and condition you identified in your Week 3 assignment, you will utilize an anti-oppressive framework to assess community and organizational conditions. This assessment will inform developing interventions and strategies in the Week 9 assignment.
By successfully completing this assignment, you demonstrate your proficiency in the following EPAS and generalist behaviors:
EPAS Competency 4: Engage in practice-informed research and research-informed practice.
C4.GP.A: Apply research findings to inform and improve practice, policy, and programs.
Related Assignment Criteria:
Summarize the professional and academic research related to the population and condition.
Describe at least one promising practice approach, identified from the professional knowledge base, related to the condition you identified.
Describe what factors may cause the condition, using information found in the professional and academic knowledge base and lived experiences of participants.
C4.GP.B: Identify ethical, culturally informed, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive strategies that address inherent biases for use in quantitative and qualitative research methods to advance the purposes of social work.
Related Assignment Criterion:
Reflect on at least one implicit and one explicit bias you hold regarding the population and condition and how this bias may impact your ability to effectively collaborate in a successful macro-level change event.
EPAS Competency 5: Engage in policy practice.
C5.GP.A: Use social justice, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive lenses to assess how social welfare policies affect the delivery of and access to social services
Related Assignment Criteria:
Summarize, without disclosing participant identities, what you found out about the condition, their views about the organization or community, and any relevant historical and contextual information related to the condition and situation.
Develop a condition statement that includes (1) a focal population, (2) a boundary, and (3) the difficulty facing the population.
Explain three causal factors that the focal organization or community members identify as needing to change, including the order of priority and your rationale for this order.
C5.GP.B: Apply critical thinking to analyze, formulate, and advocate for policies that advance human rights and social, racial, economic, and environmental justice.
Related Assignment Criterion:
Explain frameworks, theories, and/or perspectives that are most useful for understanding the condition, opportunity, need, or problem, including your rationale.
EPAS Competency 6: Engage with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.
C6.GP.A: Apply knowledge of human behavior and person-in-environment, as well as interprofessional conceptual frameworks, to engage with clients and constituencies.
Related Assignment Criterion:
Identify the specific strategies you used to gather information from members of the organization or community. Include your rationale for selecting these strategies.
Preparation
In this assignment, you will develop an audio/visual presentation in which you assess community and organizational conditions related to the population group and condition you identified in the Week 3 assignment. To prepare for developing your presentation, you must complete the three identified tasks.
Task 1: Gather Information.
Gather information from persons within the community or organization. Engage with at least five organizational and community members who (1) have direct lived experience as members of the population group, (2) are impacted by the identified condition, and (3) have (or have had) interactions with the organization or community. Find out how they view the situation, their thoughts about the condition, and any historical and contextual information they may have about the situation/condition. In your presentation, you will be asked to develop a condition statement that includes (1) a focal population, (2) a boundary, and (3) the difficulty facing the population (Netting et al., 2023, p. 302).
Task 2: Explore Professional Knowledge Base.
Locate peer-reviewed articles and explore frameworks, theories, and perspectives that will be useful for understanding the condition, opportunity, need, or problem. You will need a minimum of 12 sources to support your presentation. From the literature, you will choose at least one practice approach to further discuss.
Task 3: Identify Conditions That Need to Change.
Compare what you find in the literature to what you found when engaging with the community members. What causal factors can you identify?
Task 4: Consider Your Own Bias.
Take time to consider your own position and reflect on at least one implicit and one explicit bias you hold regarding the population and condition. How might this bias impact your ability to effectively collaborate in a successful macro-level change event?
