MAIOP 225 - Social Justice Practicum II

1
Students will acquire knowledge about community-based problems and the range of programs and services designed to address these problems; public health approaches, policy development, and implementation; and professional networking. Throughout the process, students are contributing to others in the community on behalf of the degree that is being earned and also the profession to which the degree leads. Students represent the reputation of Adler University through the Social Justice Practicum. They are opening doors for psychology where there may have been a historical void, and making it more accessible and less stigmatizing for others to ask for help. Upon graduating, students’ experiences will allow them to demonstrate knowledge, skills, and attitudes that reflect socially responsible practices. As professionals, students’ skill sets will reflect an awareness of the realities th`at confront our global society and the needs of the individuals in it.
