Policy Paper

Q The principal purpose of this assignment is to provide you with an opportunity to identify and discuss challenging policy issues that you may encounter during your career. A key goal is for you to explore potential policy challenges and think through how you might handle them. Your paper should draw explicitly on class discussion of relevant policy concepts and relevant literature. Your discussion should include: • A brief (one paragraph) summary of your primary social work career interests (e.g., client population, work setting). • A conceptual overview of the specific policy issues (federal, state, agency) that you may encounter during your career (approximately 3 pages). Include brief case examples and scenarios to illustrate your points. • A discussion of the specific policy concepts that you anticipate drawing on when you encounter policy challenges. Include concrete examples to illustrate your points (approximately 3 pages). • Describe at least two ways in which a social worker could engage in instrumental cause advocacy to address the policy concerns you identified. Include specific information about 14 activities and organizations that could be a part of this advocacy. Additionally, specifically connect (with examples) the clinical issues and the policy concerns. Be sure to cite and incorporate a minimum of five in-depth publications (journal articles and/or books) that focus on policy issues in social work practice

The primary social work career interests of my life are to ensure that the diversified types of client population are explored by me. This is because there can be diversified categories of cases or incidents taking place in the lives of different types of clients. The determining of the common as well as uncommon characteristic traits of diversified types of client population is interesting. This is because there can be cross-sectional, intersectional as well as correlative studies conducted and implemented for obtainment of specific types of results of client population.
