Goals are only necessary when your intervention involves micro practice, and not mezzo or macro practice.

Micro Practice

A scope of social work practice focusing on individual or small group interactions and interventions.

Mezzo Practice

Social work practice focused on small to medium-sized groups, including families and other small groups, moving between the individual focus of micro practice and the broader community focus of macro practice.

Macro Practice

Social work practice focused on large-scale social processes and structures, aiming to instigate systemic changes through policy advocacy, program development, and community organization.
