Social Work Research Methods and Program Evaluation
This course equips students with quantitative, qualitative, and participatory action research methodologies essential for evidence-based practice and program evaluation in Zambia. Skills covered include needs assessment, data collection (surveys, interviews, focus groups), basic analysis, and ethical considerations for researching vulnerable populations. This competency is critical for Clinical Social Workers monitoring interventions for orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs), evaluating community health projects, or contributing to baseline studies for organizations like UNICEF Zambia. 25schools demystifies research with step-by-step guides on proposal writing, tutorials for using data analysis software, and examples of community-based participatory research (CBPR) models from Zambia, providing practical support for coursework and the final year research project at institutions like Mulungushi University.

Theories and Models of Clinical Social Work Practice
This course introduces major theoretical frameworks for direct clinical practice, including systems theory, ecological perspective, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), crisis intervention, and strengths-based approaches. Students learn to select and apply models for assessment, intervention, and evaluation with individuals, families, and small groups, adapting them to Zambian cultural contexts. This skill set is foundational for roles as a Medical Social Worker at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH), a Counselor in school settings, or a Case Manager with NGOs addressing mental health and trauma. 25schools provides comparative charts of therapeutic models, simulated case exercises from Zambian settings, and guides on developing treatment plans, offering crucial resources for students at CBU and UNZA to prepare for exams and begin forming their integrative clinical approach.

Trauma-Informed Care and Crisis Intervention
This course focuses on the principles and practices of trauma-informed care (TIC) and immediate crisis intervention for populations affected by violence, disaster, loss, or acute stress in Zambia. Students learn to assess trauma symptoms, provide psychological first aid (PFA), mitigate vicarious trauma, and make appropriate referrals to services like those at Chainama Hills Hospital. This expertise is essential for Social Workers responding to gender-based violence (GBV) cases, supporting communities after disasters, working with refugees, or serving in Employee Assistance Programs at companies like ZESCO and KCM. 25schools offers vital resources including protocols for crisis response, self-care strategies for practitioners, and case studies on Zambian trauma contexts, preparing students for exams and the high-stakes realities of clinical intervention.
