Worksheet Introduction
The Capstone project represents the culmination of your knowledge, skills and values developed throughout and across the Master in Social Work program. You will demonstrate your understanding of a social or psychosocial issue, the community context in which it occurs, the current theoretical orientation and knowledge base, as described in the extant literature.You will identify a specific problem to be addressed in your project, using a micro, mezzo or macro client system. Next, you will develop a plan for intervention. In SW676, you will implement your plan and evaluate the outcomes.
Part 1 of the Capstone project describes the context for change and introduces the selection of client system and problem. This worksheet will provide an overview of the potential client system or community-based population and related problems for intervention to be addressed in your Capstone project. These potential topics can be at the individual, family, group, community, organizational, or societal levels depending on your specialized practice concentration (direct clinical or direct community) or you community-based problem of interest.
Please note that the goal of the overall Capstone project is for implementation of the intervention. Discussion with your professor and your field supervisor will help ensure that the intervention plan is appropriate for the client and setting. If you are not in a placement, you should consider the population that is most affected by the problem you have identified.
Context for Change
Agency / Community Context
Briefly describe the agency or community in which the intervention will take place. What are the features of the agency/community, its background, and purpose/mission?
Policy
List and briefly describe (2-3 sentences of key points) two policies at the state or federal level that impact the work of the agency or the social problem/issue in your community.
Client System
Who/what is the client/client system/population? (up to 1 paragraph synopsis)  If you are completing a community project, describe the specific population your project will target. Give details here about region, demographics, etc.
Problem Identification
This section provides an explanation of the problem that your Capstone project intervention will address. If you are placed in an agency setting, you should identify a problem experienced by an individual client, a group of clients, the staff of the agency or the agency as a whole. This problem should be something that you can readily address within your role as an intern. You can choose to work directly with a client problem (e.g., adolescent depressive symptoms), a small group (e.g., grief and loss group at the agency), a staff concern (e.g., lack of training or support in a specific area), an agency issue (e.g., need for diversity and inclusion training).
Brief Problem Statement
Describe the problem to be addressed. Be as detailed as possible. Make sure you are describing a problem you can readily address.
Next, briefly answer the following questions:
•    What efforts – if any –  have previously been made to resolve the problem? What happened?
•    Are there different perspectives on the problem to be considered?
Level of Intervention
Your Capstone project will be an intervention directed toward the problem you have identified.
Describe the level of intervention: individual, family, group community, organization, society. This is where you will identify the level at which you will target your Capstone project intervention.
•    Example: Micro level intervention – clinical treatment of a presenting problem with a specific client (e.g. treating depression with a 41-year old male)
•    Example: Mezzo level intervention – program/agency-level intervention to address agency problem (e.g. provide a suicide screening training for high school teachers)
•    Example: Macro level intervention – analyze a policy and engage in advocacy to address a community concern (e.g. panhandling laws and procedures in your community)
(up to 1 paragraph about the level and why this level was chosen)
