What Is Macro Practice and Why Do We Need It?

In this discussion, you will begin to explore social work within the context of bigger systems, typically known as macro social work practice. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Drawing on course text and outside readings, describe and explain the connection between working one-on-one with a client and working to address community, systemic, or societal problems.
• Share your thoughts about anti-oppressive macro social work practice. Explain what it means to you and any experience you have. Do you think you would enjoy social work practice at this level? Why or why not?
• Share a journal article, video, podcast, or other resource related to why an AOP in macro social work practice is important. Why did you select this resource? What are two or three key points?
