them with resources, services and
opportunities.
4. Contribute to the development and
improvement of social policy.

The client is the best person to affirm the purpose of a profession.

Contextualizing the social work practice

ability to work effectively with people;

Community practice primarily involves working with

individuala and with groups;

Every practicing social worker occasionally

becomes involved in community practice project;

Seeing a community project developed, approved,

and implemented is immensely gratifying; and

Community practisce efforts are often fun

What is good for an individual is also good for his or her family, groups,
organization, or community. Affecting the life one effects the life of
many.

Community Practice

social action, macro practice, community organization, or community development.
