Generalist
Social Work practitioners possess a broad range of
knowledge, critical thinking, and culturally sensitive practice
skills based on ecosystems theory and the strengths perspective.
They assume a variety of social work roles from one field
of practice to another. They are committed to professional
values and ethical practice standards based on principles
of human rights and social justice, particularly concerning
populations at risk. Generalist social work practice consists
of assisting individuals, families, groups, and larger systems
to work on change which promotes the best possible relationship
between people and their environment. Generalist social
workers intervene with organizations to enhance the responsiveness
of resource systems, advocate for social policies to ensure
the equitable distribution of resources, research aspects
of social work practice, and integrate direct practice with
social policy.
