BSW3705 Assignment 2 (COMPLETE ANSWERS) Semester 1 2025 - DUE July 2025; 100% correct solutions and explanations. Question 1 The ISWP has seven (7) consecutive stages, which do not necessarily replace the existing process of your traditional methods (casework, group work, and community work), which are in a way embedded in the ISWP. In this assignment, you are expected to explain how you will use ISWP's consecutive stages to address the case reported below (See the case below). A mother, presenting in a state of significant distress, reported to social services concerning her adolescent son's severe addiction to nyaope, a locally prevalent illicit substance. She detailed that her son engages in the theft and subsequent sale of household valuables to finance his substance dependency. Furthermore, she described recurrent patterns of aggressive behaviour, including physical altercations with peers, and indicated his apparent involvement in local gang activities. The mother disclosed her own current unemployment status and noted her personal history as a recovering addict. She articulated that her son's situation constitutes a major stressor, contributing to maladaptive coping mechanisms; specifically, she reported occasionally utilizing her social grant to consume alcohol at a local tavern with female acquaintances. This stress, she indicated, has likely exacerbated her recently diagnosed comorbid conditions of hypertension and asthma. The mother also raised concerns regarding systemic failures in addressing the drug trade within the community. She stated that previous reports to law enforcement concerning an individual, Mr. Moloto, who is allegedly supplying drugs to local adolescents, have yielded no action. She further referenced allegations circulating within the community that Mr. Moloto engages in bribery of police officials to avoid prosecution. Finally, she expressed profound apprehension regarding the welfare of her two daughters. One daughter, despite having completed her secondary education (matric), remains unemployed and inactive at home. The other, also unemployed, possesses reported aptitude in hairdressing but lacks opportunity. The mother contextualized these circumstances within the pervasive youth unemployment in the area, observing that many adolescents and young adults are idle in the streets due to a lack of constructive engagement. 1.1 As a Social Worker with an understanding of ISWP, explain how you will intervene in this case following the seven consecutive stages. (10) 1.2 How will you implement the integrated social work approach (moving between the methods in terms of case, group, and community) and include other professionals?

QUESTION 1

1.1 ISWP: Application of the Seven Consecutive Stages
Stage 1: Engagement and Preparation
In this stage, I will establish a trusting relationship with the
mother through empathetic and non-judgmental communication.
I will create a safe environment where she can express her
concerns and emotions freely. Preparation will involve gathering
relevant information about the case, community dynamics, and
available resources. Confidentiality, informed consent, and the
purpose of intervention will be clearly explained.
Stage 2: Intake and Contracting
During intake, I will collect comprehensive information about
the family, including the son’s substance abuse, the mother’s
mental and physical health, the family’s financial status, and the
daughters' situation. The contracting process will involve
clarifying roles, setting goals collaboratively with the mother
and, where appropriate, with her children, and identifying
priorities (e.g., rehabilitation for the son, support for the mother,
empowerment for the daughters).
Stage 3: Assessment
I will conduct a holistic assessment using an eco-systemic
approach, examining individual, family, and community factors.
This includes assessing the son’s addiction severity, the
mother’s health and recovery status, family relationships, and
