Assignment task:
You are working with a 14-year-old girl who has recently been placed in out-of-home care due to concerns for her on-going safety and wellbeing. The girl has been subjected to physical abuse and neglect. She has been placed in a foster home with a family with whom she is having trouble connecting. She feels that nobody is interested in her or listening to her, her rights are being ignored and she has no control over what is happening in her life. Your job requires that you contact her to identify her experiences and listen to her concerns. You must discuss and prioritise her experiences. Why is this necessary and how will it help you provide the support she needs? To answer the question you can use the information provided in the text and take into consideration relationship building, validation of the girl's emotions, child-centred and strengths-based approaches, and the ways in which prioritisation of her fears, concerns, goals and aspirations will contribute to the development of suitable support mechanisms. Provide a detailed answer.
