Prepare a presentation of the field agency at which I am placed.
This presentation is both a description of the agency as well as a critical reflection on the provision of services. The presentation will include this information:
Agency Context of practice: Describe the mission, organizational structure (including numbers of staff members and volunteers), services provided, and annual budget, service users (numbers, ages, geographical location, income, etc.)
Community Context of practice: Outline, analyze and discuss the impacts of the community your agency serves on its mandate and services. Identify and analyze the community needs, issues, resources, and formal and informal organizations related to the work of the agency.
Social Context of practice: Discuss etiology and impact of the social conditions, needs, and issues faced by clients of the agency as well as common intervention methods related to these issues and needs.
Social Policy Context of practice: Identify and analyze social policies, federal/provincial/regional/agency, that most directly affect clients served by your agency.
