The Esperanza case
Using the Esperanza case and citing the literature providing and using the APA 7th Edition writing style, you will respond to the following questions:
- How might systems theory or the life model serve as a tool to help social workers create strategies to build trust with a client who explicitly shares their legitimate disappointment with how institutions have responded to their prior needs? What skills would you use to prioritize your engagement with the client?
- Social workers might work under policies and political climates that perpetuate injustice. What conflict might this raise for you? How will you support yourself should this occur?
- Using your understanding of ACE, what might be some of the preventive measures you would work on with Esperanza to decrease her depression and anxiety?
- What would be some strategies you would use to work with the school and Children’s Services to advocate for Esperanza and her infant? How would your strategies gain her trust?
