Unit synopsis
This unit compares a range of practice approaches used in individual and community work when responding to trauma, bereavement, and crisis. The implications of using these contrasting practice approaches for counselling and community development practice will be explored in relation to a range of different presenting concerns including grief and loss, domestic violence, sexual assault, mental health issues, cultural violence and substance abuse. Gender sensitive and anti-racist practices will also be considered in responding to people experiencing grief, trauma and crisis.

- Semester 1 (February)
Unit synopsis
This unit builds literacy of a range of theories, models and perspectives relevant to critical social work practice. Power, oppression and privilege are key concepts. An historical overview will be provided to contextualise contemporary social work practices. For example, from the Charitable Organisation Society we have inherited case work, from the Settlement Movement we have incorporated neighbourhood work and community work, and from the Fabians, we considered how to use social policy to address major social problems such as poverty, unemployment and homelessness. With the emergence of alternative and critical influences, such as Marxism, feminism and ant-racism from the 1960s, increasing importance was given to environmental factors influencing the life chances of individuals. From these competing perspectives we must be able to coherently articulate our preferred perspectives with explicit reference to social justice and the AASW Code of Ethics.
