Reflect #1

This assignment invites you to reflect on your emerging philosophy of clinical social work practice with children and families. In 12 double-spaced pages, respond thoughtfully to 2 of the prompts below:

  1. Developmental Reflection – Reflect briefly on whether your understanding of children, behavior, or helping has changed since you were an adolescent yourself. I didn’t really understand behaviors as a child like I really didn’t understand being sad or angry but now that I’m a grown up and studying social work and having my target population be children has definitely helped giving me information
    • What do you understand differently now?
    • How might this awareness support your work as a clinical social worker?
  2. How Change Occurs – Describe your current beliefs about how change happens for children and families.
    • What do you think helps children heal, grow, or develop new ways of coping?
    • What role do relationships (e.g., caregivers, clinicians, peers) play in change?
    • What role does the social worker play in the change process
