What is the main focus of micro practice in social work?

Micro practice in social work primarily emphasizes the interventions and support provided to individuals and families. This focus involves working closely with clients to address their specific needs, providing counseling, therapy, and resources that facilitate personal and familial growth. Practitioners in this area aim to enhance the well-being of their clients by addressing personal challenges and enhancing coping strategies, rather than tackling broader societal or community issues directly.

In contrast, other areas mentioned, such as societal systems and large-scale community issues or policy development and advocacy, are more aligned with macro social work practice. These focus on systemic factors and community-level interventions rather than the individual or family dynamics central to micro practice.
