Social Work Case Report

Growing up in Arizona and spending time working as both a former educator and as a sex worker, I have seen first hand how neglected sexual education and advocacy for sex workers is in this state. As a former sex worker, I have personally and passively seen the damaging effects of measures such as Project ROSE as well as unfair labor practices and prejudice. My time serving as an educator at a “last chance” charter school saw the effects of inadequate sex education in numerous teen parents. For these reasons, I have chosen to direct my social work practice towards sex therapy and education and advocacy for sex workers.

It’s important for case managers to be aware of professional boundaries in their work because it determines the roles and responsibilities of the client and case manager.

The best outcome for the client is to focus on her own needs and not get deeply involved in a relationship. The case manager should be providing support, appreciative responses, building trust, inviting collaboration, and providing positive feedback for the client.
