SW 6352 - Global Issues in Women's Health

In this three-credit course, we will consider issue linked to women's health and mental health on a global scale. Our discussions will include an examination of global and local contexts, as well as a consideration of different aspects of macro practice in a variety of professional fields, e/g/ social work, nursing, public health, anthropology, etc. By comparing different theoretical models, we will enhance social work skills for understanding our clients. We will begin by exploring the trends in health and mental health for women in different regions of the world.
