Week 8:Engagement and Assessment in General Practice. Do you feel ready to engage a client? What if that client was a family, group, organization, or community rather than an individual? What skills do you need to develop to be ready to enter the field and work with real clients?
In a social workerâs desire to fix, they may jump to intervention prematurely. Before a client is ready to participate in the change process, a social worker must engage clients through relationship building; before a social worker knows what intervention is best, they must have a complete and accurate assessment of the client and problem.
You will face challenges and unclear situations, but your practice skills provide the map for making client engagement and assessment a thoughtful and deliberate process.
This week, you compare the skills needed to practice at the micro or macro levels in the Discussion. You also practice and demonstrate your engagement skills through a video assignment.

Assessment is a structured approach to gathering and analyzing information about the client system and their story. How is the assessment process different when the client system is an individual or family versus a community made up of individuals and families?
Assessment involves gathering the needed information in order to determine appropriate intervention. Thorough assessment allows social workers to identify the problems that need to be addressed. Complex social problems often mean that both the micro and macro level factors contribute to social work cases.
In this Discussion, you compare differences in the assessment stage at different practice levels.

Week 8 Discussion
Practicing your social work skills through role-play scenario is an essential part of a social work education. This is an opportunity to make mistakes and learn before interacting with vulnerable clients and unintentionally causing harm. Role-play assists you in identifying the areas where you are strong, as well as the areas where you might need improvement.
In this Assignment, you demonstrate skills related to engagement. You are encouraged to practice your engagement skills before recording yourself because practice encourages improvement. However, the video is not expected to be a perfect recording. Real life is not as polished as it may appear in film or television. Stumbling over a word or having to clarify a sentence is a place to demonstrate genuineness and warmth. The goal of recording yourself is to demonstrate current practice skills. You share your video with colleagues in order to have opportunities to learn from one another over the next few weeks. It is now time to record your role-play scenario!
