Macro Social
Work
The practice of macro social work is the effort to help clients by
intervening in large systems. Examples include lobbying to change a
health care law, organizing a state-wide activist group or
advocating for large-scale social policy change. Macro practice is
one of the key distinctions between social work and other helping
professions, such as psychiatric therapy. Macro social work
generally addresses issues experienced in mezzo or micro social
work practice, as well as social work research. Macro practice
empowers clients by involving them in systemic change.
Mezzo Social Work
Mezzo social work practice deals with small-to-medium-sized groups,
such as neighborhoods, schools or other local organizations.
Examples of mezzo social work include community organizing,
management of a social work organization or focus on institutional
or cultural change rather than individual clients. Social workers
engaged in mezzo practice are often also engaged in micro and/or
macro social work. This ensures the needs and challenges of
individual clients are understood and addressed in tandem with
larger social issues.
Micro Social Work
Micro practice is the most common kind of social work, and is how
most people imagine social workers providing services. In micro
social work, the social worker engages with individuals or families
to solve problems. Common examples include helping individuals to
find appropriate housing, health care and social services. Family
therapy and individual counseling would also fall under the
auspices of micro practice, as would the of an individual or
family, and the treatment of people suffering from a mental health
condition or substance abuse problem. Micro-pracice may even
include military social work, where the social worker helps
military service members cope with the challenges accompanying
military life and access the benefits entitled to them by their
service. Many social workers engage in micro and mezzo practice
simultaneously. Even the most ambitious macro-level interventions
have their roots in the conversations between a single social
worker and a single client.
