Child and Family Welfare, Human services/ethics and theories
In
this Assignment, you will use your knowledge of ethics and best practices to
identify the main issue presented by the client and develop a 4-page paper. In
the paper, you will create an assessment and treatment plan for your client
that includes his/her main problems (including any ethical issues), a
prioritization of needs, an intervention plan and potential obstacles, and a
plan to evaluate progress and next steps.
Choose the path of your career interest. (Child and Family Welfare Scenario)
Use
the strength-based model in your planning. Remember the importance of a social
support system in helping the client become more self-reliant. As your client
becomes more confident, he/she will feel more confident in accepting more
responsibility for filling his or her own needs. (Many clients initially lack
these skills or confidence.)
Your
Assignment should reflect professional writing standards using proper tone and
language. The writing and writing style should be correct, accurate, and
reflect knowledge of human service theories. The paper should be a minimum of
four pages, double spaced, and in APA format.

Path 1: Child and Family
Welfare Scenario
For this assignment,
create a child client who has lived in foster care for most of his/her life.
The client was recently adopted and has struggled to adjust to the new family.
Recently, an experienced foster family adopted him/her, and the client seems to
be having adjustment problems. My client’s name is Joey. His parent lost
custody of him because they were both drug addicts, in and out of prison. Joey
was abused but one of his parents dealers at the age of 5. His horrible past
has contributed to his adjustment problems. He also has difficulty trusting
people.
