The generalist intervention model is a 7-stage process to guide social workers in helping client systems. It involves engaging with clients to build rapport, assessing issues through interviews and contacts, then collaboratively planning goals and actions. Social workers work with clients to implement plans, monitor progress, and evaluate outcomes, with the overall goal of promoting client well-being and self-sufficiency. The model provides a framework but remains flexible depending on individual client needs and circumstances.
