Understanding of Macro level practice - Case Study Example

Wodarski and Dziegielewski (2002) state that macro-level practices can be categorized in four dimensions. These dimensions include tasks to meet clients needs, determining where and how changes can be made, assisting clients to get the resources they need and the organization’s perspective.

Hardcastle (2011) tells us that like individuals, every community is uncommon with unique opportunities and challenges. In order to understand macro-level practices in a community, we have to undertake a community assessment. This assessment can help us understand various relevant aspects of a community and it can enable us to know the current conditions and factors necessary to consider achieving the changes we anticipate having in this community.

Community assessment can also assist us in identifying assets, resources, and challenges that a community has as per the moment.

In addition to understanding a community, community assessment also facilitates building a case theory (Hardcastle, 2011). For us to conduct a good community assessment we have to consider the relationships between people and environment.

Hardcastle (2011) states that the first step in community assessment is determining critical factors in the community, ecology and task environment. By the end of the community assessment, we
