Introduction
This course builds on the “Certificate in Foundational Systemic Thinking in Social Work and Clinical Practice” by bridging thinking to clinical and casework practice. It seeks to promote relational and collaborative practice that brings intentionality to the forth. This is closely connected with the “use of the self” as a main tool in practice, especially in the uncertain and risk environment that practice is operating from.
