The paper can be analytical, critically reflecting on a substantive issue related to social work. For example, that issue can be any social work issue—for example, domestic violence, social injustice, abortions, and more problems. Just type a one-page memo describing your project in APA format, describing the history, theoretical perspective (what theory is used for this social issue), social issues, social policy, social justice, social work implications, and conclusion. Please don’t go into deep detail because that would be for the final exam paper.

Reflect on the isms I encountered and also watch videos and answer questions provided on the instructions.

Ethical and competent social work practice is contingent on sound theoretical constructs and empirical data derived from research across many fields – social sciences, psychology, biology, medicine, education, etc. We use findings from relevant research to develop assessment and intervention strategies that are most effective. In recent years, advances made in the field of neuroscience have provided new insights into physiological and brain functioning, neuroplasticity, and the impact of adverse experiences on the brain. As professional social workers, it is our ethical duty to be aware of these advances in research and how such findings can be integrated into our practice to best help our clients.
Instructions
Write a 2–3-page paper that outlines the following:
1. Briefly describe the field of neuroscience and how is it relevant to social work practice.
2. How can recent findings related to neural plasticity, memory and cognition, and the impact of stress and trauma be integrated into the biopsychosocial approach to assessment?
3. Briefly discuss the future implications for social work practice and give recommendations for integrating advances in neuroscience at the mezzo level (family, group, neighborhood) and macro-level (society, media, culture, policy).
Guidelines
o Papers should be written in APA style format, which includes a title page and reference page. It is recommended that you use the text and at least one peer-reviewed journal article as references.

PLEASE make sure to follow ALL of the directions. If you are not the best at APA formatting, then this may not be the assignment for you. If you do like to research and add references, this is not the assignment for you. This teacher is very picky when it comes to how the students turn in the assignments. You going to need to peer review references, and this assignment can be written in simple language. No need to use the big fantasy wording. Let me know if I forgot to send a doc to you. Each reference that is used must be assessable to me. It must include the URL so I can go back and read the material of the reference. If I think the reference is irrelevant to the topic, I will ask for it to be replaced with a more relevant one

How is a genogram used?
The genogram is constructed with a combination of lines and genogram symbols that map how individuals are connected to their biological family as well as their associated network of friends, work connections, and even pets. These individuals are named and any relevant information about them is added, including:
Date of birth/date of death
Employment and income
Ethnicity, gender
Family secrets
Immigration status
Marital status
Medical, mental health, and substance abuse issues
Personality
Quality of each family relationship
Role in family
Sexual orientation
Trauma
ECOMAP-An ecomap in social work (also referred to as eco map or eco-map) is a visual representation of all the different systems impacting an individual’s or family’s life.
People interact with multiple other entities regularly, including friends, extended family, work, school, recreational clubs, medical professionals, etc.
This is the person’s “ecosystem.” Eco mapping in social work makes that ecosystem easier to understand and provides more insights into the relationships themselves.
For example, if a social worker is providing clinical therapy and referral services for someone that is a habitual drug user, they will want to see what influences are in their life that can either help or hinder their recovery.
An ecomap example social work assessment allows that social worker to immediately identify the stressful or negative influences in that person’s life, as well as those that are positive and areas of support. This is indicated by the use of connector lines and how they look. (We’ll cover this next.)
An eco map social work assessment is sometimes confused with a genogram because some types of social work genograms will use the same types of relationship lines.
What Do Eco Maps in Social Work Look Like?
Many sample ecomap images that you see will represent the ecomap social work visual as one big circle with several smaller circles surrounding it.
The circle in the center of the social work ecomap template will be for the individual or family being assessed. The smaller surrounding circles will be used to indicate the ecosystem of that family or individual.
Between the circles in the eco map social work example will be connector lines. The type of line you use will indicate the emotional impact of that relationship.
ecomap social work example lines
The three standard line types that are used are:
Solid line: Positive relationship
Dashed line: Weak or tenuous relationship
Jagged line: Stressful relationship
You can color the lines as well if you like to enhance your ecomap social work example report to be more comprehensive. Some ecomaps also use arrows with lines to represent resources or energy flow between connections.
Here’s how the whole social work ecomap example template looks when the circles and lines are put together.

What Types of Connections Should You Include in Your Ecomap Social Work Template?
For your ecomap template social work report, you can include any influencing entities in the ecosystem of your client. It’s helpful if you separate them into two groups – one being friends and the other being community.
The community group in your ecomap example social work template can include things like:
School
Work
Church
Hobbies
Sports activities
Social service agencies
Medical health services
Clubs
What about family?
Family connections are also very important, and they can be included in the ecomap for one person by putting them in smaller circles surrounding the larger one. If you are doing an ecomap for a family, then you can just include all family member names in the main circle.
