Dear students,
Social work professionals have a duty to support and serve the most vulnerable members of society. This means that many clients will depend on social workers for help with personal, social, and psychological challenges. As students of social work, it is important to understand that women and children are among the groups most likely to face psychological and social difficulties, and they may require counselling, emotional support, and advocacy to protect their rights and well-being.
To prepare students with the knowledge and practical skills needed for this role, the module is divided into three units:
Unit 1: Micro Social Work Theories and Methods
Unit 2: Introduction to Counselling
Unit 3: Advocacy for Women and Child Rights
