Multiculturalism and Intersectionality

We have spent the past several weeks discussing and examining best practices as they apply to the Campbell
family as individuals and as a family. You can review details about the Campbell family by viewing the
Campbell Family Case Study. This week the focus is to address multicultural and intersectional issues that may
be impacting the family. Review the systemic issues that impact family values, perspectives, culture, and
expectations through a multicultural lens. Be sure to explore the privileges each family member has and any
structural disadvantages the family might have from a societal perspective. Examine how each family member
may see the world from their intersectionality of gender, socioeconomic status, gender identity, race, religion,
cultural values, abilities, age, etc.
For your initial post:
Review the NASW Standards and Indicators for Cultural Competence in Social Work Practice [PDF] and apply
the impact of two standards to either an individual family member or to the entire family. Use multicultural

Clearly identify the intersectionality (race, class, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, gender identity, etc.) of
one family member and the impact on their behavior, choices, and current perspectives as it relates to their
experiences. Identify evidence-based interventions for this area of concern from a social work perspective and
explain why you selected them.
2.

write a paper that applies a social work theory and evidence-based interventions
associated with your practice experience during the role plays.
Describe a specific theory and an intervention used for each of the following:
An individual meeting.
A family session.
A clinical group.
When developing your paper, use information from the course resources and from the synchronous sessions in
which you participated. State what interventions you used and why, which theory each intervention is
associated with, and what research supports this intervention.
