Preliminary Phase Practice Assignment
Introduction
The Rodriquez case study is a seamless example of the interaction between various
factors: immigration, systemic inequalities, social issues, and the economy, among others. Ms.
Rodriquez, in this case, is experiencing a dire circumstance with raising her children and
working long hours without the support of family and the children's father. This paper outlines
the preliminary planning of the meeting with the family, including the attendees, tuning in, and
potential resources or assets and obstacles. It also outlines the crucial worker's skills, ways to
ensure safety and support cultural competency considerations, and expected outcomes.
Who, What, Where
A. Individuals who should be included in the meeting include Maria Rodriquez, a social
worker, Mr. Garcia, and an interpreter. The initial meetings should be with Ms.
Rodriquez because she is the primary client. Her input on the matter is critical as she
is the primary caregiver for her children. The social worker is also crucial in
comprehensively assessing the situation, guiding the interaction between the
members, and assessing the appropriate interventions and resources required for the
family. At some point, Mr. Garcia, the neighbor, could be included in the meetings
for additional social support.
B. Meetings should take place at the social service offices, with home visits follow up to
assess Ms. Rodriquez’s situation. Using the office ensures that there are no
distractions during the engagement process, and that the client feels comfortable
sharing. However, follow-up visits for further assessment should be done at home to
foster a sense of safety and trust with the social workers.
