Select one of the vignettes (to be provided by your professor) and then consider how you (whom the client is meeting for the very first time) will develop an engagement strategy. Using citations define, describe and apply skills of engagement. Then, describe how the client might push your buttons, reflecting on the interaction between the client’s intersectionality and your own. Lastly, reference the NASW Code of Ethics for guidance about how to resolve the conflict and reflect on limitations of the Code of Ethics. Support your engagement strategy with the assigned reading material in the syllabus.
When reading the vignette, think about the unique strengths and challenges the client presents and how you can use that knowledge to build rapport. Consider the cultural, spiritual, religious, familial, and intersectional identities and characteristics that the client in the vignette displays, and apply your reading to understand the unique considerations for the case. The strategy should focus on engagement NOT interventions.
