WP700 & WP701 - This course will explore how social policies shape the context in which families live and in turn influences family wellbeing. Students will examine the relationship between family functioning and social policies at the local, state, and federal level. We will examine how demographic changes, values, attitudes and perspectives of well-being of families influence the policy debate. Attention will be given to the current debates about the "proper role" of government in support of families from different political perspectives. Students will assess the equity and effectiveness of policies and programs aimed at promoting American families' economic, health and social well-being and identify roles social work professionals can play in influencing policy development and implementation. Special attention will be paid to the consequences of various policy debates/alternatives for vulnerable and/or historically marginalized populationsSSW WP 720unlocks 0 courses
