Passing a Mental Health Levy Lessons for the Community Practice Professional / [electronic resource] : Janenne Allen MSW &Richard Boettcher PhD. - pp. 21-36.
The “devolution revolution” has decreased federal and state roles in the funding of social services and increased the burden on local sources, both public and private. This article describes how a community passed an initially unpopular property tax levy earmarked to support local drug, alcohol and mental health services. The article illustrates how social workers employing specific community practice knowledge provided leadership to the successful campaign. This example of community practice leadership includes building and maintaining coalitions, managing group tension and conflict and demonstrating fundamental social work values.
