SWK 646 - Social Work Practice with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered Clients 3 hours
This course seeks to expand the student’s understanding of how to employ affirmative models of social work practice with LGBT individuals and families. The ecological- and strengths-based approaches will provide a theoretical frame for this course. These constitute two of several theoretical lenses that will examine the destructive person: environment relationships that exist between LGBT individuals living in a predominantly heterocentric environment and how they cope with these stressors. Course content will be organized within the following five domains: (1) postmodern perspectives on gender; (2) developmental models for acquiring gay and lesbian identity; (3) social work practice with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered persons; (4) race and ethnicity, families, youth, and aging; and (5) specific challenges facing the LGBT communities such as homelessness, domestic violence, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS.
