 LESSON 3: CLIENTELE AND AUDIENCES IN SOCIA L WORK

 In casework, the individual is the principal client and efforts of helping are focused on her/him.
 De Guzman explains that the person’s inability to manage stress which may have been a result of a distressful situation or
problem caused her/him or those concerned with her/him to seek professional help.
 The worker must understand that the person is a “biopsychological being” where she/he is made up of at least three parts or
subsystems- the physical, the psychological and the social.
 Below are some of the clients who may need the social worker or the agency’s help through casework:
 Children who are either abandoned, neglected, orphaned, abused, or exploited
 Children in conflict with the law, street children, children living with or affected by HIV
 Out-of-school youth
 Socially disadvantaged women
 Solo parents
 Persons with disabilities, physically and mentally challenged individuals
 Elderly
 Indigenous people
 Internally displaced persons
 Survivors of natural calamities and disasters, or those affected by armed conflicts
 Voluntary Clients are those persons who opted to voluntarily seek the assistance of worker or the services of the agency due
to a problem or a difficulty which he/she thinks he/she cannot do anything by him/herself.
 Involuntary clients are those certain types of individuals in need who may not even consider asking for help because they
think that they are doing fine and will survive somehow or they are unaware of the agencies that can provide with them some
assistance.
 Principles in Teaching social Group Work
 The Principle of Planned group Formation

LESSON 4: SOCIAL WORK SETTING, PROCESSES AND SERVICES

 Social work is practiced either in a primary or a secondary setting.

 Primary Setting- are those agencies whose programs and services are direct purview of social work.
 Secondary Setting- are agencies, institutions or organizations whose primary function is not to provide social
welfare services but employ social workers to support/strengthen/complement their own services.

 Perlman as cited by Mendoza presented a series of problem-solving operations summarized as follows:

 Study
 Diagnosis

BEGINNING MIDDLE ENDING

Assessment Intervention or plan implementation Evaluation

 Various sources from which relevant information can be obtained to have an accurate definition of the client’s problem.
 Primary Resource- the client
 Secondary Resource- the significant others with whom the client has personal relationships.
 Existing data- these can be records or reports from the other professionals
 Worker’s observation- the use of observation is very helpful in gathering, supplementing and validating information
about the client
