SOCW6530 Walden Chapter 9 Social Work Practice and the Legal System PPT Due by 9/25/2019 by 6 PM EST

During your field education experience, you will interact with multiple clients. As you interact with clients and review your process recordings, you might discover that one client stands out. This may be due to the services needed or a potential case history that interests you.

As a future social worker, preparing a case presentation allows you to present social work practice skills demonstrated in addressing client needs to your colleagues.

For this Assignment, you will submit a case presentation of a client you encountered during your field education experience. Review your field education experience notes and your previous process recordings.

The Assignment (4–5 pages):

Create a Case Presentation that includes the following:

An explanation of your agency and the services offered
A description of your client, including demographics, presenting problem, goal, legal/ethical considerations, assessment, and proposed treatment/social services delivery plan (include termination plans if applicable)
An explanation of whether interacting with your client demonstrated social work practice skills
Identification of potential social work skills not demonstrated in your agency or field placement, including a proposed professional development plan
An explanation of how preparing and engaging in a formal case presentation represents a component of professional social work

Professor Slide Requirements

Over the course of several quarters, I have noticed differences in ppt presentations and interpretations of what a “good” presentation looks like. I am going to provide some tips so that you can maximize your message and your professional presentation skills.

Use headings for your slides that match the assignment requirements
Avoid using too many words. Slides are meant to capture “key points” Your narrative is to enhance these points.
Tips for font size: TITLE: 44 POINTS…. SUBTITLES 32-38 POINTS…. BULLET POINTS 24-28 POINTS
Evenly space the information throughout the slide (don’t bunch it up on the slide-see above) split into two (2) slides if you need to.
Avoid fancy fonts- typically fonts that are easy to read are best
Avoid “cute pictures and sound effects” these are to be used very, very sparingly
Use a light-colored background with a dark print (or visa-versa). Vibrant colors are hard to read and when you print off copies the reader cannot read them
Do not read from you slide. Your audience can read the slide. (see #2) Read the bullet point and expand the information from your notes
Proofread. Nothing ruins a presentation more than misspelled words, grammar errors
Practice your presentation. Your presentation is an extension of your knowledge. Know it well.

There are a lot of tips available, these are just my professional preferences.

Slide #2 Agency Slide: (explanation of agency and services offered)

Slide #3 Client Description: Client description and engagement

Briefly describe your client system (identify the members of the client system and their key demographic information, e.g. role, age, gender, ethnicity, SES). Discuss how your client system came to the attention of your agency or its social work unit. Identify the reason for the referral and/or the client system’s presenting problem.
Choose one of the two issues below to further describe the context for engagement with the client:
Evaluate the degree to which the agency’s mission, services, and policies helped or hindered the client system’s ability to use the agency, OR
Examine concerns related to an ethical dilemma, diversity and/or societal/institutional oppression, which were relevant to the engagement process.

Slide #4 Assessment Slide

Describe one problem-for-work (presenting problem) of your client system. (Note: there may be several problems on which to work; summarize the situation and problems generally, and then focus on one for the purposes of this analysis.)
Discuss the strengths and resources of the client, which became apparent in the process of problem identification and assessment. Describe how at least one of these strengths or resources could be pivotal in the development of an intervention plan.
