Application of HBSE to Engagement, Assessment and Intervention

Social workers are expected to apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment, person‐in environment, and other multi-disciplinary theoretical frameworks during stages of engagement, assessment, intervention, and evaluation when practicing in the field. This discussion is intended to help you demonstrate and develop your critical thought related to these practice behaviors. If you have not already done so, begin working on your final project. The final project asks you to choose a case study on an adolescent from this course (e.g., Dalia, Eboni Logan, or Diane). Decide which case study you plan to use and begin working on Part A of the final project.

For this discussion, you use the Kultura Media tool to video record your response to the assignment questions. Your instructor will provide feedback to help guide your process.

To prepare: Review the instructions for the final project. By Day 3

Record a 4-5 minute video in which you: Explain how you might apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment when engaging with the identified client in the case. Explain how you might apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment when assessing the identified client in the case. Explain how you might apply knowledge of human behavior and the social environment when intervening with the identified client in the case. Discuss any areas where you feel challenged or need additional support for your final project.
