The FCAB Curriculum presents essential components for social work education, focusing on financial capability and asset building. Developed by the Center for Social Development at Washington University in St. Louis, this initiative supports social workers in addressing the needs of financially vulnerable populations. Covering fundamental areas such as household finances, savings, and financial services, the curriculum utilizes theories like the person-in-environment perspective. With a focus on micro, mezzo, and macro social work practice, the FCAB Curriculum aims to equip students with resources essential for effective financial assistance.
