7.2 Discussion: Reflection on the Evaluation and Termination…
- Review and consider the application of the NASW Code of Ethics to the evaluation and termination phases of the social work practice framework.
- Reflect on your experiences with endings, interruptions, and transitions. Consider their implications by responding to the following sets of questions:
- Reflect on specific evaluation methods a social worker could use to measure the ongoing needs and program effectiveness for clients. What is one formal evaluation strategy that the social worker could use to evaluate progress made on specific treatment goals and ongoing needs? Why is evaluation a matter of ethical practice in this case?
- What come to mind when you think of endings, interruptions, and transitions? Some common examples may include finishing a school year and saying goodbye to teachers and classmates you liked, moving away for college, or finding out that a doctor you feel comfortable with is leaving practice. What positive and negative thoughts and feelings do you have about endings and how may they relate to clients experiences of endings in the change process? How might endings in your future social work practice bring up both the positive and negative emotions surrounding your memories? What is your plan to manage these emotions when you are terminating with clients?
- After reviewing the , section 1.17, consider the client population you hope to work with (Substance Use and Mental Health).
- What are some ethical considerations you have towards the termination process, and how do you plan to terminate with clients ethically?
- For example, how might you prepare clients for an upcoming leave of absence or termination? What are some examples of things you might say?
- As another example, how might you collaborate with a client to create a discharge plan that addresses her ongoing needs for safety?
- Incorporate concepts and demonstrate your understanding of the resources required for the assignment (journals, videos, texts, etc.) and use conventions of academic writing, including essay-style paragraphs (topic sentence, supporting sentences and summary or final statement), proper grammar, correct use of spelling and punctuation and use of currently required APA writing standards including formatting using indented paragraphs, same font throughout, proper headings, references at the bottom as needed and APA style, including proper use of in-text citations, concise language, paraphrasing and active voice in first or third person.
