Social Environment Assessment Paper Assignment Instructions
People are influenced by their environment. Through environmental exposure, people form worldviews, thought processes, and ways of interacting with others. For this assignment, you will need to identify and research local and state databases to identify the needs in your community environment. This may help you gain an understanding of how your environment influences you and how the environment could impact your future potential clients. Develop a 4-6 page paper (not including the title page and references) that includes the information noted below.
First: Provide a detailed overview of the community demographics including factors such as population, racial makeup, crime rate, income levels, etc. What are the most important things to know about your city? Are there any interesting facts? Also discuss why it is important for social workers to be knowledgeable of their communities.
Second: Evaluate the community where you live in two of the categories listed below . Identify the strengths (things your area may be doing well to address the issue) and needs (why is it an issue, what are the stats, what is its impact on the community) associated with both categories. Data and factual information should be provided to support need. Select two categories from the list of social issues below:
· Medical care/facilities and services
· Mental health services
· Crime
· Homelessness rate (adults, children, families)
· Substance abuse
· Poverty
· School systems
· Environmental Issues
Third: Discuss where social workers are employed in your community. Consider settings such as schools, hospitals, prisons, detention facilities, nursing homes, social service agencies, afterschool programs, Head Start, Veteran’s services, mental health agencies, etc. Name specific places . For instance, Freedom 424, an anti-trafficking organization in Forest, VA. employs social workers. Saying an anti-trafficking organization would not be enough information.
At least 3 community/environment or government websites, databases, etc. should be cited, for a minimum of 3 sources. There is not a maximum number of sources. Please follow the instructions carefully, use the template provided, and use current APA format. “Upload” your paper as a Word document; PDFs cannot be graded.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.

Social Environment Assessment Paper: City, State
APA formatting requires double spacing and 1-inch margins. The title of your paper goes on the top line. It should be centered, bolded, and in title case. You will then write an introductory paragraph. You will not use the heading “Introduction”. The introductory paragraph should identify your community and provide a basic overview, as well as anything that may stand out. Is the community famous for anything? Also discuss why it is important for social workers to be aware of their environment/community and how it may inform their social work practice. The introductory paragraph contains a thesis sentence. This sentence gives the reader an idea of what to expect when reading the paper. It is often the last sentence of the paragraph.
Environment/Community Overview
In this section, discuss general findings of your community. What is the general population, racial makeup, income level, etc.? Is it urban, rural, suburban? What is the city known for, etc.? Do you like living there and how would you describe the area?
Identified Needs
Based upon all of the information gathered, discuss the two selected areas and why there are needs in those areas. What are the statistics, related outcomes, and impact upon the individuals and community? Are there large gaps in services for any particular population? Are there any non-existent services? If so, where do individuals go to get the help they need? How involved are faith based organizations?
Identified Resources
What is your community doing to meet the needs? Discuss the community strengths related to the identified issues, and overall. For example, what kind of resources are in place for the impoverished, mentally ill, handicapped, etc.? Are there faith based organizations that provide assistance? What is your community doing well?
Where Social Workers Work
Discuss where social workers are employed in your community. Identify specific places where social workers are employed. Do you know any other social workers in your area? If so, what is the general sentiment regarding the profession, employment opportunities, and available services. Where do you see yourself working?
