653 Strengthening Families in Rural Environments (4)


This course prepares students to provide services to families in rural communities, addressing assessment, intervention, theoretical models of family practice and how diversity, including non-traditional family forms, are impacted by rural settings. Student assignments require students to write brief papers on a choice of three of the following: culturagrams, family poverty, ethnicity, gay/lesbian family dynamics, single parent families, divorce, assessment of family functioning, and theoretical models of family practice; and a case analysis of an at-risk family, addressing assessment, diversity issues, the rural environment, and intervention models and their implications.
