What is the levels of social work practice interventions?

There are generally three levels of social work practice interventions:

1. Micro-level interventions: These interventions focus on working with individuals or families to address specific issues or problems. This may involve providing counseling, therapy, case management, or other forms of support to help individuals improve their well-being and functioning.

2. Mezzo-level interventions: These interventions focus on working with groups or communities to address broader social issues or challenges. This may involve organizing community programs, advocacy efforts, or group therapy sessions to address systemic issues and promote social change.
