In 7, double-spaced pages (APA style), describe the engagement process (including group composition, if appropriate), with a particular client, or client system (as appropriate for your particular site). ALL SOCIAL SERVICES AGENCIES HAVE A CLIENT SYSTEM! The “client” is the individual, couple, family, group, community, population, and/or demographic for whom the agency exists and operates. Check your agency’s mission statement if you are not sure how to identify the client system served by your agency.
Include the following:
Assessment of the particular “client.” This may be a “prototype.”
Identify the presenting problem, issues, and/or concerns (you may also describe the client system as a collective, and identify a “typical” presenting problem)
Identify the client’s strengths/resources
Identify any and all known barriers or obstacles in the client’s environment or relationships.
Present a summary of the bio-psychosocial statement (if applicable)
Present a summary of the contract/treatment plan that was established with the client (including goals, task statements, agreements, etc.)
Intervention:
Describe the underlying theory (or theories) you have utilized in your work with the client or client system.
Why was this particular theory/approach chosen?
Discuss the “middle” phase of work with the client or client system. It is expected that this part of the paper will vary greatly among students, depending on the practice setting, modality, and client population.
Termination and Follow-up:
Discuss the termination process or the anticipated termination process and plans.
Evaluation:
What tools/approaches were used to evaluate outcomes?
To what extent did you accomplish your goals with the client or client system?
What would you have done differently?
