Description
This course examines the evolution of the family in the context of the social environment in which it exists. Traditional family values and structures are examined as well as more modern and nontraditional situations that may include: the divorced family, the gay/lesbian family, families of war, immigrant families, religious families, foster/alternative family environments, families of abuse, grandparent/grandchild families, culturally blended families, addicted families, and families experiencing mental illness. An exploration of personal and professional experiences and the lenses through which we view families as well as challenges to traditional family concepts will be considered. Includes the fundamental occupational tasks of assessment, case presentation, case collaboration, team membership and client interaction.
