Social Work and Human Development Exam Bank
Course Introduction
This course explores the intricate relationship between social work practice and human development across the lifespan. Students will examine theories of physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development from infancy through late adulthood, with a focus on understanding the impact of family, culture, community, and societal structures. The course emphasizes how developmental stages intersect with issues such as identity, diversity, trauma, resilience, and well-being, informing effective interventions within various social work settings. By integrating theory and practice, students develop skills for assessing and supporting individuals, families, and groups at different life stages within a social justice framework.
