Applying the Generalist Model of Social Work Practice for a Catholic Church Parish Team

摘要

It has been argued that social workers would make valuable additions to Catholic church parish teams. A plan for how this could occur is presented using the tenets of the generalist model of social work practice, which consists of seven components: engagement, assessment, planning, implementation, evaluation, termination, and follow-up. The addition of social workers to a parish team would not only enhance the wellness of individual parishes, but also has the potential to enhance the wellness of the broader community.
