Intersecting Identities Case Study

The paper should be 3-5 pages in APA format not including title and reference page. Identify a client (individual, couple, or family) who is seen at the practicum agency, for whom intersecting identities present a significant aspect of their psychosocial challenges. Preferably this would be someone with whom you work, but if you are not seeing clients directly at this point, it can be a client your supervisor or a staff member sees.

The client is a 9 year old Palestinian girl who comes from a low income family that lives with the disorder osteogenesis imperfecta. The presenting problems are navigating being a kid while living with the disorder and having issues with moving schools due to being low income and the parents hardly finding work.

  1. Describe the clients demographics, using their own identifying language.
  2. Describe the presenting problems and the role of the social worker or student.
  3. Offer a conceptualization of how intersecting identities present challenges and opportunities for the client.
  4. Share your plan of how you have addressed or hope to address these challenges and opportunities.
  5. Examine how your own intersecting identities may have an impact on the client relationship, and how these should be or have been managed.

Requirements: 3-5 pages
