CALENDAR COURSE DESCRIPTION SW 4401
This course focuses on theory relevant to an integrated social determinants of health (population health) approach to social work practice and builds on the ecological-systems perspective with an emphasis on northern settings. Exposure to traditional helping approaches of First Nations peoples is integrated into the course. Application is made of complex adaptive systems theory to five helping systems: individuals, small groups and families with an emphasis on practice with communities and organizations. Examples are drawn from fields of practice including: child welfare, mental health, family service, education, addictions, corrections, health and aging.
