This assignment will focus on demonstrating understanding of skills of engagement, reflecting on challenges that you may experience with clients who spark an internal response and using the NASW Code of Ethics to provide guidance and support. Each student will discuss engagement strategies in response to one of the vignettes provided. Students will be graded on their ability to describe appropriate engagement strategies focusing on the values, beliefs, and behaviors that are described in the literature. Concepts must be supported by academic/professional literature. The vignettes will be provided by your professor and are separate from the Acevedo vignette and the VFP case of Mario.
The paper requires the use of a minimum of 4 scholarly works. I will provide a list of the scholarly works within our course syllabus below – please try to take all 4 from that list but at least 2/4.
