QUESTION
Description
Social workers are expected to synthesize assessment material into a written, coherent working product for documentation and case planning. Students are expected to conduct an interview with a person outside of class and gather the information in order to create a Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment document. Students are urged to avoid soliciting content that may be too intimate for the interviewee to share (e.g. medical, behavioral health, conflicted relationships, etc.).
A detailed overview of this assignment was presented earlier in the course. Feel free to refer back to that page for additional information:
