How would you address the crisis that eboni is experiencing


Assignment: Spirituality And Social Work Practice

Being culturally sensitive by respecting your clients' spirituality and religious traditions, in general, is an important professional competence (Furness & Gilligan, 2010). Applying your spiritual awareness to a specific client case, however, may require even greater skill. In this assignment, you consider how you might address a client's crisis that includes a spiritual or religious component.

To prepare for this Assignment, review this week's media about Eboni Logan's visit with her school social worker.

Submit a 2- to 4-page paper that answers the following questions:

1. As Eboni's social worker, would you include spirituality and religion in your initial assessment? Why or why not?

2. What strategies can you use to ensure that your personal values will not influence your practice with Eboni?

3. How would you address the crisis that Eboni is experiencing?

Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:

1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.

2. The response also include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.

3. Also Include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
