Hi, I am Miles, and I heard a name “the life model”. Can anyone give a brief?

Welcome!

Thank you for the information!

The life model of social work practice was based on the ecological perspective. The life model views the purpose of social work as assisting in the improvement of the level of fit between people and their environments particularly by helping people find and utilize their personal and environmental strengths and resources to assist in alleviating life stressors and/or to intervene in the environment to create better resources to meet the needs of individuals. The life model focuses on the life course or the unique pathways of development that each human being takes – from conception and birth through old age – in a varied environment, and to our infinitely varied life experiences. The life model works to the life course, particularly as it is nonuniform and perceives the life course as varying based on diverse environments, cultures, and diversity within human specificities, such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and physical/mental health.
