Empowerment
Empowerment is achieved through a social worker’s understanding of a client’s life and the ability to integrate a continuum of strategies. Empowerment-based practice initiates a strengths perspective approach. It helps clients to attain personal power to address challenges at all levels (micro, mezzo, and macro). The focus of empowerment-based practice is to highlight a client’s potentials and resiliencies while minimizing vulnerabilities.
Successful client interventions contribute to a sense of interpersonal empowerment. This increases an individual’s sense of control over their lives and enhances their ability to influence others. Empowerment boosts an individual’s feelings of competence and strengthens their capacities for problem-solving skills.
In this Assignment, you examine the fundamentals of the empowerment-based practice model.
Explain the central concepts of the empowerment model.
Describe how this concept is applied in social work practice.
Explain how a client can use personal power to meet his or her needs and to gain access to resources.

This paper is third WI designated assignment and builds on the previous paper. Based on the feedback from the OB Project – Part 1 you will now produce
another essay, that is a 2-3 page written report (excluding title page, references and any figures, tables or appendices). Each paper will include an APA
formatted title page and a separate References page. Do not include an abstract, table of contents, or appendixes. The primary topics included in this paper
are as follows: Providing a brief overview of the problem (3-4 sentences), the following:
Theoretical Lens – The topic:Empowerment , apply that topic to the your chosen organization and the problem developed in OB Project- Part
- Describe very specifically how the concepts, principles, and findings represented in the topic matter to the problem, and how they can be leveraged to articulate a solution. [about 1 page]
Recommendation – Provide a list (at least three) of very specific recommendations/action steps that flow out of the discussion of the topic and that can
help solve the problem. In thinking about how to craft the topic into those recommendations, strike a balance between being practical and being bold. Every
organization has key constraints (culture, organizational stakeholders, and competitive environment) that need to be taken into account when designing
interventions. Although those should be considered, resist the urge to “play it safe”, as that tendency often leads to modest interventions that are ultimately
ineffective. [about 1 page]
All work submitted for grading shall be of collegiate quality, language, depth and organization. All work should be proofread, free of grammatical errors,
include proper citations, and be in accordance with The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed. (APA Ch 2, 8-10). Please refer
to the grading feedback for your first part of the project to avoid making the same APA mistakes again.
