Starting in the 1980s, a few universities began social work management programmes, to prepare students for the management of social and human service organizations, in addition to classical social work education. Macro-work involves fostering change on a larger scale through advocacy, social policy, research development, non-profit and public service administration, or working with government agencies. Mezzo-work involves working with groups and communities, such as conducting group therapy or providing services for community agencies.
Micro-work involves working directly with individuals and families, such as providing individual counseling/therapy or assisting a family in accessing services. Social work practice is often divided into three levels. Social work practice draws from areas, such as psychology, sociology, health, political science, community development, law, and economics to engage with systems and policies, conduct assessments, develop interventions, and enhance social functioning and responsibility.
