Intervention with Individuals & Small Groups

Course #: HUMCTR 320, Class #: 2137, Section #: 01

Description

This course will focus on the skills and knowledge which are common to intervening with individuals and small groups, as well as, with organizations and communities. To be an effective human service worker, it is important to be able to apply skills with an understanding of relevant theories and models, and be able to choose appropriate intervention strategies and methods for particular situations. Since there is no substitute for actually working with individuals or groups, an important part of enhancing a worker's intervention sills is obtaining hands-on experience in the field through a practicum covering the length of semester.
