Shaping Policies for Social Good

Advanced generalists don’t just work within the system—they help change it! Policy analysis means examining laws, regulations, and organizational policies to assess their impact on clients and communities.

Advocacy at Work

• Identify Issues: Spot gaps or barriers in existing policies.
• Research Solutions: Gather data and best practices from similar settings.
• Engage Stakeholders: Collaborate with clients, colleagues, and community leaders.
• Take Action: Testify, write policy briefs, or organize campaigns to promote change.

The Power of Advocacy

Social workers bring the client’s voice to decision-makers, ensuring policies promote equity, justice, and well-being.
