(6 Credits) 1.5 Seminar hours, 28 Practicum hours Social Work Practicum II builds on the skills and knowledge from Social Work Practicum I with a goal of exposure to and involvement in more complex practice situations. Students integrate social work theories and methods in work with individuals, families, groups, and/or communities. Students are expected to demonstrate social work practice skills related to assessment, shared participation in the client change process, and interventions with a variety of client groups. Reflective practice and a focus on professionalism, social work ethics, and the standards of practice contribute to the continued development of social work identity. Practicum seminars will be delivered using a blended delivery format, including both in-person and online meetings. The Social Work diploma is governed by accreditation standards set by the Alberta College of Social Workers. Students are required to complete 350 combined hours of fieldwork and seminar in order to successfully complete this course. In practicums where supervision is not provided by a registered social worker, students will be required to attend additional seminars to receive clinical supervision
