Section IV. Macro Level Social Work Practice

A 2018 National Association of Social Workers survey found 82% of social work programs focus on micro practice while 9% focus on macro social work practice (NASW, 2018). It is no wonder why there are more micro practitioners than macro practitioners. Section IV focuses on macro social work practice. Macro social work practice is defined as practice with or in organizations and communities (Kirst-Ashman & Hull, 2018).
