Need MASTER’S LEVEL WORK /RACISM’S AFFECT ON THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN MALE

PLEASE….Discuss Affects on mental health due to police brutality, BLM, and how institutions should look at polices and environments were they employ African American and Identify HOW their biases towards blacks could affect mental health. SPEAK FROM FEMALE PERSPECTIVE

This 8-10 page paper is an application-based assignment in which you will apply concepts learned about racism and oppression throughout the semester to envision and develop a proposed action plan to explore what you as a social worker can do to address issues of racism in your agency, your community, or the society at large. (It is understood that you will not be able to implement your plan at this time). You can focus on the micro (clinical), meso (agency/organization; community), and/or macro (policy; advocacy; social work education, societal) levels.

You are expected to utilize relevant concepts, models and research (i.e. racial identity development, multicultural organizational change models, the 4 I’s of oppression, community organizing strategies, etc.) to evaluate the issue of concern and develop an action plan for addressing it. It is expected that you will utilize additional readings and sources outside of the assigned course readings and viewings for this project and include 8 or more references. 

EXAMPLE

A paper that focuses on working with survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) would describe the dynamics of intimate partner violence and the specific population with which you may work, for example, female identified survivors in emergency shelter (background).
The paper would then explore how race at all levels of oppression may impact the experience of IPV, as well as one other form of oppression such as sexuality that shapes the survivors unique experience of IPV (levels of oppression).
Next, the paper would cover how social workers address the issue of IPV at all levels of practice, and drawing on cultural humility, anti-oppressive social work practice, and social policy can work to dismantle the oppression experienced by the population (levels of practice). Additionally, the student will reflect on their own growth and the impact of this course. Finally, students should discuss specific use of social work values in future work with survivors of IPV, such as the client’s right to self-determination in deciding if she wants to leave her partner regardless of the social workers’ opinions (self-reflection).
