ABSTRACT
To complete the exploration of social work practice with communities, this chapter explores the continuation of community practice from the development of the intervention plan through the termination and evaluation phases. Included in the discussion is a focus on practice models for community interventions that are guided and informed by theoretical perspectives. An overview of the social work practice behaviors needed for intervening with communities will be provided. The chapter will continue with a look at the final phase of community practice-the termination and evaluation processes. The exploration will begin with a discussion of the most recognized models for community intervention: planning/policy, community capacity development, and social advocacy, as well as the ways in which they are mixed in practice (Rothman, 2008).
