Course Description:
This course is one of three required courses for those who wish to practice School Social Work in Michigan. This course gives social work students the opportunity to increase their knowledge and research of mental disorders of children and youth. Students will develop competency in applying biopsychosocial theories of resiliency, coping, etiology, the impact of mental health disorders, culture, ethnicity, family structure, marital status, religion or spirituality, and race to the treatment of children and youth. Classification systems of child and youth functioning and disorders will be presented (DSM). The impact of labeling and stigma will be explored to develop critical thinking about how mental disorders of children and youth are conceptualized.
