- Identify a micro-level concern that a client in your agency faces.
- To what extent is this micro-level concern shared among other clients in the agency?

- Based on the above answers, identify a social justice issue that is relevant to your agency/community?
- What policies (agency and/or legislative) are relevant to this social justice issue?
- Have there been previous attempts to address this issue? If so, describe them. Why did they not fully succeed? If not, why have there not been any attempts to address this issue?
- Discuss how an anti-oppressive lens could be used to address this issue.
- Discuss your ideas for an intervention plan to address this issue.
