In this three-credit course, students consider issues linked to women’s health and mental health on a global scale.  Discussions  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, students enhance social work skills for understanding our clients.  The course begins by exploring the trends in health and mental health for women in different regions of the world.
