The Macro Social Work School is where social work students, new professional social workers, and veteran social workers alike come to learn about macro social work practice and how to incorporate macro experience, skills, and activities into their own unique social work practice. Social Workers place a primary value on Social Justice, and Social Workers cannot achieve Social Justice on the micro-level alone. The consummate social worker practices and intervenes across all levels: micro, meso, and macro.
Hi, I’m Dr. Victor Manalo!
