Lack of finance can cause families to live in poverty, which can then have adverse effects on health, life opportunities, employment, diet and wellbeing, which in turn can lead to more isolation. “social exclusion doesn’t only mean that poor people are likely to experience a number of simultaneous disadvantages: the key thinking that underpins the concept is that social problems are interconnected……..social exclusion can be addressed only by tackling the linked problems of unemployment, low qualifications…..in a joined up way” (Wiles, F., K101, Block 3, Unit 9, Pg 35/36).

We initially worked on strengthening the spousal subsystem and moved right into parenting issues. Enactment was implemented into the therapeutic sessions “as structural family therapy calls for its practitioners to gain insight into family patterns and intervene technically through relational postures they adopt toward families from both outside and within family enactments” (Aponte, 1992, p. 271). During this enactment, I as the therapist, entered or joined with the family system as a catalyst for positive change. This was done with the family to address parental authority and define the boundaries more clearly as part of the therapeutic task is to help the family define, or change the boundaries within the family. We made the generational hierarchy clear for Trey and Kita to understand.
As defined in the An Introduction to the Profession of Social Work Becoming a Change Agent textbook, “generalist social work practice is defined as social work practice backed with broad range of training an primarily used to guide and coordinate service” (p.155). To me a generalist social worker basically practice skills to help aid families, communities, groups and individuals with their life problems.

Some are child social workers, family social workers, school social workers, healthcare social workers, mental health social workers and substance abuse social workers. Child, family, and school social workers are pretty much in the same category.
