Standards for Integrating Genetics into Social Work Practice recognize and respond to
the expanded information on the human genome and its impact on social work practice and
education. They are designed to enhance awareness of the skills, knowledge, values,
methods, and sensitivity needed to work effectively with clients, families, health care
providers, and the community in the area of genetics. Nine standards cover ethics and
values, genetics knowledge, practice skills, client/practitioner collaborative practice
model, interdisciplinary practice, self-awareness, genetics and cross-cultural knowledge,
research, and advocacy. Information is also available online at www.socialworkers.org. |
