Practicing your social work skills through a role-play scenario is an essential part
of a social work education. This is an opportunity to learn before interacting with
vulnerable clients and unintentionally causing harm. Role-play assists you in
identifying the areas where you are strong, as well as the areas where you might
need improvement.
In this two-part Assignment,
TO PREPARE

system for the role-play. That is, the client in the role-play takes on the role
