158-159). “In reviewing the literature, the focus was on identifying the impact of parental mental health, the associated risks, the difficulties with the interface working, and proposed solutions” (Duffy et al., 2010, p. 159). Some of concerns expressed for the program to be effective were how mental health and child care services work together, communication between the two, role clarity, and the outcome hoped to be achieved by the development of this program was to provide holistic interventions which could not be provided by just one agency, earlier intervention which was more effective, to decrease staff stress, and to obtain a better outcome for the families involved (Duffy et al.,

Living with her mother; however her mother asked her to leave the premises. Case Manager asked client, why her mother asked her to leave. Client stated that they got into an argument. Client stated that they have been arguing on a daily basis. Client stated that she doesn’t want to raise her child in that environment. Client stated that she has being living with her mother all her life.

The client and his mother was thrilled at the idea. The mother was excited because she believed that her son constantly seeks to establish a relationship with his father, who hasn’t made any strides to do so. The son was excited because he stated that he would like to see his father more often and spend more quality time with him. The client was willing to see his father in a therapeutic environment if that’s what it takes to get him involved. I met with the father to schedule a family session with him and the client. During the initial contact with the father, he appeared nonchalant and apathetic towards the therapy. He made statements such as “boys will be boys” to explain his son’s behavior and seemed genuinely uninterested in the idea of family therapy.

The assessment holistic approach to understanding what has occurred and currently occurring in the clients life as well as understanding what is considered a priority of treatment for them and their guardian. The assessment begins with the presenting issues asking what brought the client in. The section also covers when the problem started, how long it has been going on, what is the level of intensity of the problems, and how frequently do they occur. In the family and social history section examples of questions asked are current household member, how does the client get along with others, client's strengths, and who do they go to when they need help. The next section is the abuse and sexual risk behavior where the client is asked if they feel safe inside and or outside there home and if they have or know of anyone that has been abused or neglected. Developmental history is then taken, which includes history of pregnancy, any disorder or disabilities the client has been diagnosed with, and delays in any motor

Richardson that she will have a discussion with her supervisor as to whether the Division should have court involvement with her case. The worker asked Ms. Richardson if she has ever been court involved in the past regarding her DCPP case. She responded no. The worker told Ms. Richardson that she has to ensure that the children are safe and because the case is not moving forward regarding her substance treatment and the conflict between her and her older son Ruddy court involvement may support with getting these goals accomplished.

In order to address the client’s problems and strengths Birkenmaier suggest using a “two compartment model”. “In this approach, the assessment includes a two component model in which the social worker first explores a series of questions with the client to define the problem situation (Component 1). The questions will not only help to identify the client’s strengths, but also their life experiences (both positive and challenging), and strategies for coping with adversity. Gathering this comprehensive perspective on the client’s identity can aid both the social worker and the client in formulating a perception of the client in terms of strengths, versus deficits. (Birkenmaier, 2014, pg.110)”

This document is used to view client’s progress. The evidence base Research measurement used in this evaluation was entered into the social worker’s intake procedures and also their six-month evaluation procedure. An online copy from the (EB) is uploaded on the IRB Intranet to capture the results of each client’s (EB) measure. The social worker can follow the revised client’s intake and six month’s progress procedure was evaluated during the program’s quarterly internal audits. These quarterly internal audits found social workers complied with the procedures 100% of the

In this paper I will identify the need for the group that was chosen. Part of the discussion will concentrate on the three key values used in the group approach with this population. The other will address models and theories of group practice, and the approach used by this group. The paper will also look at the key challenges or obstacles in group interventions with this population. Using the worksheet planning guide for social work group’s eight headings will be discussed. Briefly the readings from the course syllabus will be used in the development plan and incorporated in the paper will be the plans for an initial group session. Based on the skills inventory three critical skills will be addressed. Lastly a critique of a proposed group will be conducted.

The micro level intervention that this writer would use is individual counseling. Individual counseling would allow this writer to learn about each client individually and what basic needs are not being met in their lives. This writer could assist each client in finding shelters, employment, care for physical and mental health problems and other services to help meet the client’s basic needs. An example of this micro intervention can be seen at the Center for Urban Community Services in New York City according to Lorenzo & Barbosa,

The use of assessment in social work practice is to enable the social worker to reach an early understanding that can “describe, explain, predict, evaluate, and prescribe or suggest interventive methods” (Parker & Bradley, 2003, p. 12). In the early stages of working with a client the social worker will use their interpersonal communication skills of building

A typical day for a social worker consists of helping those that are in need, providing appropriate resources, and empowering their clients. Before a social worker can help their clients, they will need to do an assessment. An assessment consists of learning about the individual and their everyday lives. According to Timberlake, Zajicek-Farber, and Sabatino (2008), “The client system and the social worker conduct an assessment of problems, needs, strengths, and resources; establish priorities and goals; and reach agreement about the preintervention date-collection activities necessary to provide a baseline for evaluating change” (p. 79). It is important for the social worker to collect all this information because it will provide insight on

The department’s intervention plan was to remove the child from the home and place her in a safer environment. My client’s response to this intervention at first was very angry and resentful towards the department. Father especially angry with the department and did not understand why he couldn’t keep his daughter since mother had the drug issue. I realized how difficult it would be to build rapport with them after removing their child. I ensured them that I was there to help; I was very empathic and showed them that I cared about their case. I worked with the parents and helped them to

In social work practice, client assessments are important because they allow social workers to gather information from clients. This information helps the acting social worker better understand clients presenting problems. The assessment also helps social workers evaluate a client’s progress and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions used. In this paper, a multidimensional assessment will be performed on a client I have been working with at my internship placement, Urban Ministries of Durham. Once all relevant information is presented, and intervention and treatment plan will be discussed.
