Abstract
Social work has been in the forefront of developing and delivering services to the homeless mentally ill population. The need to train students for this emerging field of practice has become increasingly apparent. The literature suggests that practice with this highly disadvantaged and disaffiliated client population requires a combination of innovative techniques and traditional practice skills. This paper describes an approach to field education for the growing number of students placed in agencies serving this client population. The approach emphasizes a client centered model in which students learn to adapt generalist practice skills to the needs and capacities of homeless mentally ill clients.
