The Application and Review of Screening Tool Assignment
Part 1: Essay Questions about the Screening Role Play
1. Strengths in Engagement
Various factors went well during the engagement with the client, including the ability to
create a therapeutic environment whereby the client felt comfortable sharing her problems. The
room was quiet, comfortable, and welcoming. I was also able to build rapport with the client
through active listening and validated her concerns or emotions (Ramadhani et al., 2024). I
assured her that it is expected for her to have some bad days following the traumatic events she
experienced. I was also able to articulate the confidentiality statements, assuring her that all the
topics covered during the sessions remain with us, except where I am mandated by the agency or
the laws to share the information. I made sure she understood these elements by articulating
some of these, which includes the role or obligation to report any indication of self–harm or
potential to harm others and sharing with my supervisors (Darby & Weinstock, 2018). I also
expressed concerns over sharing with external providers, including the local authorities, where
necessary. Any information shared with others, including the external healthcare providers, is
done with her consent.
Areas of Improvement
Some of the areas I would like to change in future engagement is the integration of social
work skills in engaging with clients, including expression of empathy and allowing the client to
express their concerns or problems. I would also improve on confidentiality and consent
processes by using written documents for future reference. I would also afford the client more
time to ask more questions regarding the topic or the screening tools.
