Assignment 2: application: case presentation | SOCW 6530 – Social Work Field Education IV | Walden University

my internship is with jasmine trangucci-clinical social worker in private practice

During your field education experience, you will interact with multiple clients. As you interact with clients and review your process recordings, you might discover that one client stands out. This may be due to the services needed or a potential case history that interests you.

As a future social worker, preparing a case presentation allows you to present social work practice skills demonstrated in addressing client needs to your colleagues.

For this Assignment, you will submit a case presentation of a client you encountered during your field education experience. Review your field education experience notes and your previous process recordings.

The Assignment power point slide 8 to 10 slide
