Social Work Initial Assessment With a Client 

They say if you can do CPS you can work anywhere…that speaks volume and this video reminds me of the simple things we can do to work with family

Great role play but only if the sound quality was improved. Some parts are inaudible otherwise thank for posting quite helpful.

Really good.. I got my assessment two days from now and I will be watching this video until then..lol.. Good luck

5 stars!

Thank you everyone for your positive feedback. I am currently working for CPS as an investigations SW moving towards getting licensed. Good luck to everyone! ☺

Absolutely wonderful. I'm graduating this spring with my BSW in social work, and it's people like you that made me want to enter this profession. Thank you for this video, you are amazing 😁

Thank you! I will have my masters in May.

One thing you forgot to tell her about confidentiality. Other then that it’s great. I’m currently going for my masters now.

Wow, this has really helped me out, It was perfect except I could not hear some parts. The sound quality was a little off. However, you have given me a starting point so when I have to do my own role play. Was this a friend of yours? I'm afraid my friend or family won't act right, I'm going to have to choose someone who will take it seriously just as much as I will.

I'm in year 11 of highschool and I'm very interested in social work as a career option. Thank you for making this video, its giving me more insight into the job and its requirements :D

Hello Jerri. This is a great resource for students studying social work and human services. Would you kindly give me permission to use it? Thank you in advance. Raymonde Tickner, University of the Fraser Valley, Abbotsford, BC. Canada

the vide was great, I'm in my last semester of class and this is my biggest fear interviewing clients.

Are you allowed to take notes DURING the assessment, that way you don't forget any information when filling out the forms?

Do you have a Bachelor"s or Master's in Social work? Great video by the way.

love the video..i just finished my masters in social work and am required to do a 2 year payback in CPS…its been hard working in CPS

did she explain confidentiality in the beginning ??

Jerri thank you for your kind reply to my colourful ? post I should have included that not all social workers are corrupt to be fair forgive me, I have removed my posts I wish you all success with your studies.....

Nice acting.................

great, the volume is too low, cant hear most of what you are saying. but thanks

The sound is so low, but great assessment!!

Thank you!

This was absolutely wonderful and I am in the mid point of getting my Baccalaureate degree and I hope that one day my initial assessment will be as well put together as yours. I have to do a video assessment for my methods final and I am so nervous because we were put in groups for this final and we are having a little bit of an issue getting it together. I have faith that everything will work out and your video was extremely helpful thanks again!

Thank you. Your role play provided some insight on the beginning stage of the helping process. I really liked the end where you encouraged the client to grow in her faith. The word of God will transform a person thinking and way of life. Client centered practice with a twist of faith.

Can you assess me?

I might go into this field being a social worker. I love helping ppl get going in life on bettering themselves. I have help many folks on getting hired at companies, apply for housing, referring ppl on getting help with there utilities. My passion is really wanting to work with middle school and high school girls on achieving there goals.💻☎📠📝📂📇📌📎✂📑📤😊

Great Job, I'm working on my Master's Degree at the University of South Carolina right now for Social Work. I'm a case manager at DSS right now and I think you did wonderful!

Thank for posting this vid! I wish I found it a month ago. I had the same assignment last month for my undergrad social work class but you did wayyyyyy much better than I did LOL. Congrats on your Masters as well!
