The macro client system refers to organizations, large groups of clients or families receiving similar services, or other community-level change initiatives designed to benefit many people in the community. Macro-level interventions can include community organization, program development, community advocacy, coalition building, political engagement, and a host of other efforts designed to address societal injustices such as racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, poverty, religious intolerance, and other issues affecting the entire community. The model for proposing community change that we present in this module includes the generalist practice model of engagement, assessment, planning, intervention, termination, evaluation, and follow-up combined with the organizational theory of planned change. The planned change process considers environmental forces as well as organizational and community structure (such as material and human resources), identifies change goals, partners with the organization and community to create a change strategy, and implements that strategy.To begin this activity, you will need to match the phase definition with the correct phase name. Next, you will need to place the phases in the correct order as they happen in the planned change process. When you have completed both activities, please return to the workshop and complete the activities listed below in Instructions.
