Milley et al contend that “during the intervention phase, practitioners draw on the plan that workers and clients have previously framed” p. 301. Looking back at our plan from the last session, we summarized Nadia’s goals which were getting financial assistance, childcare, recreation, educational upgrading, connecting more with the Women’s group, and advocating for work equity. Then we asked Nadia if she would like to add more goals and she responded “No”. According to Milley et al, “even in desperate circumstances, people likely demonstrate strengths in how they cope with their challenges” p.309. Our strength-oriented assessment revealed Nadia to be “multi-talented” She is hardworking, educated, motivated, optimistic, loving, and caring to her children, and determined to get a better education and a good job. Nadia also has a network of support, competent relationships, accessible social service options. We agreed with Nadia to continue using the support from the Imam, the Muslin women group, her neighbor, and social assistance. This is because Nadia mentioned that these have helped her cope in the past and have helped to increase her sense of belonging, self-esteem, sense of power, motivation, and optimism. Dorlee (n.d.) maintains that solution-focused practitioners notice what is working and maintain it. With Nadia’s permission to continue, we moved forward in the process of activating more resources. According to Social Work Career. Dorlee (n.d.) “in a solution-focused therapy, all work is centered around the client’s goals. Every session begins with a goal-oriented question”. We asked Nadia what she hopes is different as a result of the time we will spend together. Nadia mentioned that her best hope is to figure out a way to find a better job. Then we moved ahead to elicit details about this goal by asking Nadia what is the first thing that will tell her that she is making progress towards finding a job. Nadia responded that she would be preparing resumes and looking up companies that need people with her skill sets. We asked if she would be interested in some job sites and she agreed, so we provided her with linked-in, indeed, and other sites. Nadia’s homework was to send in her applications for positions advertised on these sites and let us know how it went, and if she needs more support in that area. We moved ahead, used a scaling question to find out where Nadia was on a scale of 1-10 where 10 is that she is very hopeful and confident about finding a job and 1 is the opposite. She said after our discussion she was at about 4. Dorlee. (n.d.) suggests that scaling is a useful technique to help clients move toward their goals and to help practitioners learn about the current hopefulness and what needs to change to be a bit more hopeful. Nadia also expressed that she would like to get admission into Nursing school and study toward becoming a nurse in Canada. We asked her what she thinks she needs to become a nurse in Canada, Nadia said she would look up nursing schools online, and find out their admission requirements, tuition and how to get student loans and grants. We provided Nadia with phone numbers of the …….?????? Nadia agreed to contact the schools, find out about the admission requirements, and let us know if she needs more support. Milley et al. “Workers simply inform clients about resources or take more direct actions; they consistently work for clients to understand the process by which clients might access the same resources without professional assistance” p. 318. Letting the client do most of the work when they can. This would improve clients’ self-esteem, encourage empowerment and self-determination over their life. What actions she would take to improve on her financial issues. Nadia said she would like to have more hours at work, teach ESL to students online, and try to make some snacks to sell to people in her community. She believes that she could make some more money from these activities. Nadia reveals other personal resources that were hidden. We complimented her for being creative and Nadia agreed to try these out and let us know during her next visit. When workers accentuate client strengths, they enhance a client’s sense of power Milley et al. p.309. Social Work Career. Dorlee (n.d.) Solution Focused Therapy: Key Principles and Case Example. https://www.socialwork.career/2017/02/12-solution-focused-therapy.html When Nadia came in, we greeted her and asked how things had been since the last time she left our office. She responded that she has been thinking about the different goals and objectives we set last time and trying to decide what she wants to achieve (Canadian Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics (2015). We reminded her that our role is to suggest resources and then she will decide which ones she thinks will be most helpful for her. We also reviewed the confidentiality form with Nadia and reminded her that everything we talk about here would be confidential and can only be revealed if there is any risk of danger to her health or other people
