Question 1

Compare and contrast activities a social worker may engage in on behalf of problem gamblers at the mezzo and macro levels.

Accepted Answer

The mezzo level and macro levels of social work are different in that the mezzo level involves families and local communities to affect change while the macro level often involves organizations, governmental bodies, policy, and federal scopes of work. As such, if a social worker were engaged in activities at both levels, mezzo level work would focus on bringing awareness of local resources, advocating for local change in policies when local laws are violated, promoting events, bringing attention to problem gambling, and/or working with local drug courts. At the macro level, work shifts from local to national, regional, or international work. The practitioner will collaborate to help in the monitoring and regulation of the gaming industry, publicizing, and exploring policy growth.
