HISTORY OF SOCIAL WORK….. Outstanding social leaders in 1800s and early 1900s worked to bring innovative solutions to social conditions. Basically, governmental responses were ill-equipped to handle problems of the poor, mentally ill, immigration, housing and child welfare systems as our nation was growing and changing. Private and religious entities stepped up to help, and Social Work was born. Began with group work, advocacy, and social activism, social leadership as they began to evoke change on personal and broad spectrum. Birth of settlement houses, YMCA, YWCA, Girl Scouts, Red Cross, Jewish Community Centers. First organizations were called Association for the Improvement of the Condition of the Poor and Children’s Aid Society. Mostly upper-class women and men from faith-based or secular groups performed social work. Following Civil War, industrial growth caused social needs to arise (mini Depressions, racism, discrimination, immigration).

CRITICAL THINKING AND PLANNED CHANGE What is critical thinking?  Ask questions  Be inquisitive about how interventions work & their effectiveness  Examine & evaluate statements  Use scientific reasoning “Critical thinkers question what others take for granted.” (Gambrill and Gibbs, 2009) What is planned change? Development & implementation of a strategy for improving or altering “some specified conditioning, pattern of behavior, or set of circumstances that affect social functioning.”
