Social Worker Scenario
Patricia is a 17-year-old, Caucasian female who was referred to a Social Worker by her probation officer. Patricia was arrested after she and a few friends attempted to rob a neighborhood store and Patricia was court-ordered to meet with a Social Worker. Patricia has a history of angry outbursts, is defiant, and often argues with authority figures.
Using the readings and the vignette above, submit a one-page paper including the following:
In your role as a Social Worker, what techniques would you use to engage Patricia in services?
How would you respond if Patricia was argumentative, angry, and stated she didn’t want to meet with you?
Please consider any cultural considerations.
The paper should be approx. one page and include high-quality writing. Please include a title page and double-check all spelling and grammar prior to submitting. Also, please make sure to cite all relevant information and include references as appropriate.
