project part 4 identification of organizational intervention

Getting Started

In the workshop activity, you will summarize what you have learned about community and organizational assets and resources. You will propose an intervention that builds on existing assets and strengths. Your proposed intervention should reinforce existing networks, strengthen community values, and engage relevant stakeholders in solving their own issues. In this activity, you will provide a nuanced description of existing programs, self-help groups, businesses, citizens, or others who are already meeting the need. You will also explain how your proposed intervention could effectively complement those existing assets and resources. This activity is another building block for your final social action project proposal.

Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:

  • Explore injustice and oppression within the social environment at local and global levels. (PO 3)
  • Develop knowledge of social work and other multidisciplinary theoretical frameworks to engage, assess, intervene, and evaluate communities and organizations. (PO 6, 7, 8, & 9)
  • Use interpersonal skills to effectively engage diverse communities and organizations. (PO 6)
  • Use inter-professional collaboration to achieve beneficial macro practice outcomes. (PO 8)
  • Interpret information and data collected from communities and organizations. (PO 8)
  • Identify interventions to achieve macro practice goals. (PO 8)

Resources

  • Article: Using an Evidence-Based Program Planning Model in a Macro Practice Course
  • Textbook: Generalist Practice with Organizations and Communities

Background Information

The Roberts‐DeGennaro article describes the importance of developing intervention plans that incorporate the best available knowledge. When developing interventions, the macro social worker should identify appropriate intervention informed both by assets, resources, and desires of the community or organization, as well as the best research evidence. Sources of empirically supported interventions may come from library databases, systematic reviews through the Campbell Collaboration, search engines, and professional organizations.

As you develop your proposed intervention for your social action project, do not neglect existing programs and resources that might be models for your intervention. Look to the assets and resources that already exist, refining and building on what already works. Innovate where there is a gap in program and services.
