1 00:00:00,066 --> 00:00:03,190 Hello! Welcome to part three of our helping process series. 2 00:00:03,190 --> 00:00:04,324 This is the final part. 3 00:00:04,324 --> 00:00:07,098 So if you're jumping in now and haven't watched videos one and two, 4 00:00:07,098 --> 00:00:09,529 in video one, we talk about engagement and assessment, 5 00:00:09,529 --> 00:00:11,964 in video two, we talk about planning and intervention, 6 00:00:11,964 --> 00:00:14,914 and now we have finally made it to evaluation and termination. 7 00:00:14,914 --> 00:00:16,383 So probably watch these videos in order. 8 00:00:16,383 --> 00:00:18,985 But if not, if you're just jumping in now that's totally okay. 9 00:00:18,985 --> 00:00:21,755 Hi, I'm Anna, I'm a social worker and I make YouTube videos, 10 00:00:21,755 --> 00:00:24,591 both educational ones like this, and then also just lifestyle videos 11 00:00:24,591 --> 00:00:26,722 giving a look into the life of a social worker. 12 00:00:26,722 --> 00:00:28,456 The helping process gives a general framework 13 00:00:28,456 --> 00:00:30,463 of a social worker-client interaction. 14 00:00:30,463 --> 00:00:32,265 Not too much more introduction needed. 15 00:00:32,265 --> 00:00:34,334 So we all start with evaluation. 16 00:00:34,334 --> 00:00:37,070 This is a step that will look so super different 17 00:00:37,070 --> 00:00:40,264 depending on if you are a micro or meso or macro social worker, 18 00:00:40,264 --> 00:00:44,310 but this step happens after engagement, after assessment, after planning 19 00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:47,480 and sometimes after intervention, but also kind of during intervention. 20 00:00:47,480 --> 00:00:49,640 Evaluation is measuring the client's progress 21 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,019 and determining if there is progress being made toward the established goals. 22 00:00:53,019 --> 00:00:55,457 If you determine, yes, there has been progress being made, 23 00:00:55,457 --> 00:00:57,757 what is the progress that's being made? How do you know? 24 00:00:57,757 --> 00:01:00,193 Are there areas of intervention that need to change? 25 00:01:00,193 --> 00:01:02,395 Maybe progress isn't getting made in certain areas, 26 00:01:02,395 --> 00:01:05,098 and so something needs to go different so that you can actually get an outcome. 27 00:01:05,098 --> 00:01:06,784 Do any goals need to change 28 00:01:06,784 --> 00:01:09,069 in order to better match the presenting problem? 29 00:01:09,069 --> 00:01:12,653 Is the modality of intervention that was chosen for this client still working? 30 00:01:12,653 --> 00:01:13,621 Is it still a good fit? 31 00:01:13,621 --> 00:01:15,913 And if the intervention is working for the client, 32 00:01:15,913 --> 00:01:16,887 how do you know? 33 00:01:16,887 --> 00:01:19,612 Both in their own words and then also in your observations? 34 00:01:19,612 --> 00:01:24,317 Evaluation is so super important because it ensures that treatment is effective. 35 00:01:24,317 --> 00:01:26,552 It's not just playing around with the client and seeing, 36 00:01:26,552 --> 00:01:28,521 "Okay, maybe this will help, maybe this won't. 37 00:01:28,521 --> 00:01:30,790 Even if this isn't helping, it's kind of fun for me, 38 00:01:30,790 --> 00:01:32,125 so I'm gonna keep doing it." 39 00:01:32,125 --> 00:01:34,927 Evaluation is ensuring that what the client wants to work on, 40 00:01:34,927 --> 00:01:37,997 what the client wants to be done, is progressing, is happening. 41 00:01:37,997 --> 00:01:39,483 So some tips to do it well 42 00:01:39,483 --> 00:01:42,068 is to have a flexible mindset through intervention. 43 00:01:42,068 --> 00:01:45,710 Even though a program worked really well for one specific high school, 44 00:01:45,710 --> 00:01:47,411 it does not necessarily mean 45 00:01:47,411 --> 00:01:50,111 the same results will be shown in the high school you are working in, 46 00:01:50,111 --> 00:01:52,348 and you could be really excited about the program 47 00:01:52,348 --> 00:01:54,614 and think it would be really fun and really want to see it through. 48 00:01:54,614 --> 00:01:57,183 But if the results aren't there, the results aren't there. 49 00:01:57,183 --> 00:02:00,386 What are some confounding factors that may be affecting the process? 50 00:02:00,386 --> 00:02:02,755 What are the differences between the high school you're working in 51 00:02:02,755 --> 00:02:04,991 and the one that the program worked really well in? 52 00:02:04,991 --> 00:02:06,659 And can the program be altered to 53 00:02:06,659 --> 00:02:08,595 maybe better fit the high school that you're working in? 54 00:02:08,595 --> 00:02:12,517 If something is not working after a standard amount of time, adjust it. 55 00:02:12,517 --> 00:02:14,606 This doesn't mean, "Okay after two sessions, 56 00:02:14,606 --> 00:02:17,326 if a client's presenting problem isn't better, it needs to be changed." 57 00:02:17,326 --> 00:02:19,072 That's why I say the standard amount of time. 58 00:02:19,072 --> 00:02:22,652 A reasonable amount of time to expect progress or expect change, 59 00:02:22,652 --> 00:02:24,577 but progress isn't happening, adjust. 60 00:02:24,577 --> 00:02:26,446 This will look different depending on where you're at, 61 00:02:26,446 --> 00:02:28,381 but collect data continuously. 62 00:02:28,381 --> 00:02:30,116 This can be formal or informal. 63 00:02:30,116 --> 00:02:32,262 For example, some modalities of therapy 64 00:02:32,262 --> 00:02:35,522 have a client rate and monitor symptoms throughout each week. 65 00:02:35,522 --> 00:02:38,358 Or maybe just rate and do a mood check at the beginning of a session. 66 00:02:38,358 --> 00:02:40,766 If that's what you're doing, then you can see over time, 67 00:02:40,766 --> 00:02:41,761 "Okay, what's changing? 68 00:02:41,761 --> 00:02:44,196 How many times are panic attacks occurring during the week 69 00:02:44,196 --> 00:02:45,165 or whatever you're working on? 70 00:02:45,165 --> 00:02:47,389 Maybe it's a survey given to community members. 71 00:02:47,389 --> 00:02:49,469 Maybe it's collecting collateral information 72 00:02:49,469 --> 00:02:52,505 from parents and teachers about behavior that you're working on with a child. 73 00:02:52,505 --> 00:02:54,841 Are there observable differences in the classroom 74 00:02:54,841 --> 00:02:56,343 since I began work with this child? 75 00:02:56,343 --> 00:03:00,122 Pulling from our handy-dandy code of ethics, 5.02, 76 00:03:00,122 --> 00:03:02,378 "Social workers should monitor and evaluate policies, 77 00:03:02,378 --> 00:03:04,926 the implementation of programs, and practice interventions. 78 00:03:04,926 --> 00:03:07,879 Social workers should promote and facilitate evaluation and research 79 00:03:07,879 --> 00:03:09,556 to contribute to the development of knowledge. 80 00:03:09,556 --> 00:03:11,220 Social workers should critically examine 81 00:03:11,220 --> 00:03:13,821 and keep current with emerging knowledge relevant to social work 82 00:03:13,821 --> 00:03:16,171 and fully use evaluation and research evidence 83 00:03:16,171 --> 00:03:17,397 in their professional practice." 84 00:03:17,397 --> 00:03:20,646 So, in the code of ethics, it says you need to be doing some sort of evaluation. 85 00:03:20,646 --> 00:03:23,156 Now for everyone, that's not going to mean working in a research lab 86 00:03:23,156 --> 00:03:24,537 conducting research studies. 87 00:03:24,537 --> 00:03:28,137 But even if it is just your personal, one to one therapy client. 88 00:03:28,137 --> 00:03:29,300 Evaluating intervention. 89 00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:31,210 I also think this is an important time to point out 90 00:03:31,210 --> 00:03:34,948 that some social workers specialize in one part of this helping process. 91 00:03:34,948 --> 00:03:36,883 Maybe I should've mentioned this in the previous videos. 92 00:03:36,883 --> 00:03:39,105 Some social workers, their job is assessment, 93 00:03:39,105 --> 00:03:42,168 and then the client moves on deeper into the agency 94 00:03:42,168 --> 00:03:43,634 to actually get the intervention. 95 00:03:43,634 --> 00:03:45,917 Or some social workers, and this is why I bring it up now, 96 00:03:45,917 --> 00:03:47,293 specialize in evaluation. 97 00:03:47,293 --> 00:03:50,163 You can work in program evaluation as a social worker. 98 00:03:50,163 --> 00:03:53,833 Sometimes this could be in-house at a certain community agency. 99 00:03:53,833 --> 00:03:55,493 Or sometimes there's even consultants 100 00:03:55,493 --> 00:03:58,338 who will come in whenever a company asks them to 101 00:03:58,338 --> 00:04:00,548 and evaluate programs that they have going on 102 00:04:00,548 --> 00:04:02,308 related to some social issue. 103 00:04:02,308 --> 00:04:04,944 So social workers can, like, specialize in the evaluation. 104 00:04:04,944 --> 00:04:07,079 Or social workers can be researchers. 105 00:04:07,079 --> 00:04:09,733 This is common, especially if you see social workers with PhDs. 106 00:04:09,733 --> 00:04:11,742 PhDs have research components in them. 107 00:04:11,742 --> 00:04:13,407 Research in social work can cover 108 00:04:13,407 --> 00:04:17,657 so many broad, various topics and subjects and points of the process. 109 00:04:17,657 --> 00:04:19,959 Sometimes it might be defining a social problem, 110 00:04:19,959 --> 00:04:22,462 sometimes it might be evaluating an existing program. 111 00:04:22,462 --> 00:04:24,864 Sometimes it might be evaluating an existing policy. 112 00:04:24,864 --> 00:04:27,767 Sometimes it might be testing for the effectiveness of an intervention. 113 00:04:27,767 --> 00:04:30,103 Research and evaluation is a huge part of social work 114 00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:33,539 that sometimes isn't talked about as much, because it's not always client facing. 115 00:04:33,539 --> 00:04:35,675 It can be, but it's not always client facing. 116 00:04:35,675 --> 00:04:38,817 Pulling back from our handy-dandy code of ethics, still 5.02, 117 00:04:38,817 --> 00:04:41,300 "Social workers engaged in evaluation or research 118 00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:43,671 should carefully consider possible consequences 119 00:04:43,671 --> 00:04:44,987 and should follow guidelines 120 00:04:44,987 --> 00:04:47,954 developed for the protection of evaluation and research participants. 121 00:04:47,954 --> 00:04:50,100 Social workers should inform participants of their right to 122 00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:53,026 withdraw from evaluation and research at any time without penalty. 123 00:04:53,026 --> 00:04:54,560 Social workers should take appropriate steps 124 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,955 to ensure that participants in evaluation and research 125 00:04:56,955 --> 00:04:59,165 have access to appropriate supportive services. 126 00:04:59,165 --> 00:05:02,371 Social workers engaged in evaluation or research should protect participants 127 00:05:02,371 --> 00:05:05,905 from unwarranted physical and mental distress, harm, danger or deprivation. 128 00:05:05,905 --> 00:05:09,142 Social workers should report evaluation and research findings accurately." 129 00:05:09,142 --> 00:05:10,783 So that section is specific to 130 00:05:10,783 --> 00:05:13,454 the people who specifically work in research and evaluation, 131 00:05:13,454 --> 00:05:15,381 because there is ethics involved in that, too. 132 00:05:15,381 --> 00:05:17,283 Because there are research participants involved. 133 00:05:17,283 --> 00:05:21,454 Even if it's not necessarily client facing in the same way that micro one to one is, 134 00:05:21,454 --> 00:05:23,772 or even that macro is, working with communities, 135 00:05:23,772 --> 00:05:25,929 it is still so important to be ethical 136 00:05:25,929 --> 00:05:28,628 as a social worker in evaluation and in research. 137 00:05:28,628 --> 00:05:31,597 But anytime you hear about, "Oh, use evidence-based practices." 138 00:05:31,597 --> 00:05:34,500 The evidence comes from social workers working in research. 139 00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:36,602 It's like they're laying the foundation for the field. 140 00:05:36,602 --> 00:05:38,951 An evaluation of your intervention or your practice 141 00:05:38,951 --> 00:05:41,437 might be something that's regulated at the agency work in. 142 00:05:41,437 --> 00:05:43,848 For example, it could be like every three months or so, 143 00:05:43,848 --> 00:05:45,305 you check in on treatment plans, 144 00:05:45,305 --> 00:05:48,348 see what the progress is, see if anything needs to be adjusted. 145 00:05:48,348 --> 00:05:52,352 But and this is the big one, what happens whenever services are done? 146 00:05:52,352 --> 00:05:55,254 I feel like termination is such a big word. 147 00:05:55,254 --> 00:05:58,424 It does remind of like the Terminator, I'm going to terminate a client, 148 00:05:58,424 --> 00:05:59,792 but it just means ending services. 149 00:05:59,792 --> 00:06:02,957 Termination is the step of the helping process that– 150 00:06:02,957 --> 00:06:05,189 I mean, all of them need to be treated with so much care, 151 00:06:05,189 --> 00:06:08,901 but termination especially needs to be treated with so much care. 152 00:06:08,901 --> 00:06:13,473 Termination starts to occur throughout the entire therapeutic relationship. 153 00:06:13,473 --> 00:06:14,907 And what I mean by that is that 154 00:06:14,907 --> 00:06:17,159 through the entire time you're interacting with the client, 155 00:06:17,159 --> 00:06:19,212 you're preparing them to not need you anymore. 156 00:06:19,212 --> 00:06:20,907 Termination is not just one session, 157 00:06:20,907 --> 00:06:23,950 and failure to terminate well could be abandonment of a client. 158 00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:27,294 There is a podcast episode from the podcast Very Bad Therapy. 159 00:06:27,294 --> 00:06:28,743 Where they go into termination 160 00:06:28,743 --> 00:06:30,857 and I think it could be interesting for you to listen to 161 00:06:30,857 --> 00:06:34,730 because it goes deeper into specific perspectives and theoretical backgrounds 162 00:06:34,730 --> 00:06:36,696 that I'm not necessarily going to touch on today, 163 00:06:36,696 --> 00:06:38,464 so I'll link it down in the description below. 164 00:06:38,464 --> 00:06:41,054 The podcast hosts have backgrounds in marriage and family therapy, 165 00:06:41,054 --> 00:06:43,330 but they do bring in the ASWB code of ethics, 166 00:06:43,330 --> 00:06:47,209 and they discuss in individual therapy settings more about termination. 167 00:06:47,209 --> 00:06:48,508 So that could be interesting for you. 168 00:06:48,508 --> 00:06:50,831 But for our purposes today, just thinking about termination 169 00:06:50,831 --> 00:06:53,846 when treatment is no longer serving the client's needs 170 00:06:53,846 --> 00:06:56,883 or is no longer necessary for the client, services should be ended. 171 00:06:56,883 --> 00:06:58,897 If the presenting problem has been addressed 172 00:06:58,897 --> 00:07:02,091 and treatment goals have been met with no new presenting problems coming up, 173 00:07:02,091 --> 00:07:03,360 treatment should be ended. 174 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,324 Now, if a new presenting problem arises, 175 00:07:05,324 --> 00:07:07,452 then a new helping process can kind of begin 176 00:07:07,452 --> 00:07:09,260 where you assess and figure out and plan. 177 00:07:09,260 --> 00:07:10,163 As social workers, 178 00:07:10,163 --> 00:07:13,150 honestly our goal is for our clients to no longer need our services 179 00:07:13,150 --> 00:07:15,701 because we are promoting empowerment, we're promoting independence. 180 00:07:15,701 --> 00:07:18,349 In a perfect world, the end of a therapeutic relationship 181 00:07:18,349 --> 00:07:20,206 would never come as a surprise to a client. 182 00:07:20,206 --> 00:07:21,874 But obviously we don't live in a perfect world. 183 00:07:21,874 --> 00:07:25,978 So instead, it is important to always be ethical whenever services are ending. 184 00:07:25,978 --> 00:07:28,014 And we have a responsibility to do our due diligence 185 00:07:28,014 --> 00:07:29,715 to treat termination with so much care. 186 00:07:29,715 --> 00:07:32,285 That's coming from whenever a social worker ends services. 187 00:07:32,285 --> 00:07:35,192 A client is free to terminate services at any time that they would like. 188 00:07:35,192 --> 00:07:39,322 Termination can hold many different emotions for both client and social worker, 189 00:07:39,322 --> 00:07:41,015 and our job is to support clients 190 00:07:41,015 --> 00:07:43,203 however they're experiencing it and however they need it. 191 00:07:43,203 --> 00:07:45,468 Some people may feel joy and pride because, 192 00:07:45,468 --> 00:07:47,533 "Woohoo! I finished my treatment goals, 193 00:07:47,533 --> 00:07:50,269 I have all these new skills, I'm ready to take on the world." 194 00:07:50,269 --> 00:07:52,886 Other people may feel more fear and anxiety because, 195 00:07:52,886 --> 00:07:55,981 "Uh-oh, I have to rely on my own self and my own support 196 00:07:55,981 --> 00:07:57,376 to keep up the progress I've made." 197 00:07:57,376 --> 00:07:58,685 So some tips to do it well, 198 00:07:58,685 --> 00:08:00,560 these are coming straight from the code of ethics 199 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,542 because it gives very pointed guidelines on how to terminate well. 200 00:08:03,542 --> 00:08:12,391 "Social workers should terminate services To clients and professional. Relationships with them when such services and relationships are no longer required or no longer serve the client's needs or interests. 201 00:08:12,391 --> 00:08:17,430 Social workers should take reasonable steps to avoid abandoning. Clients. Who are still in need of services." 202 00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:20,600 Abandoning means no preparation, no referrals outwards 203 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,301 so that they can continue service if they need it. 204 00:08:22,301 --> 00:08:32,645 "Social workers should withdraw services precipitously only under unusual circumstances, giving careful consideration to all factors in the situation and taking care to minimize possible adverse effects." 205 00:08:32,645 --> 00:08:34,780 I think you can tell from that language there is a lot of. 206 00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:37,016 Responsibility on a social worker to terminate. 207 00:08:37,016 --> 00:08:39,218 Well, and this. Means not leaving client hanging if. 208 00:08:39,218 --> 00:08:41,220 They are mid intervention. 209 00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:43,489 You have not finished up treatment goals have not been met. 210 00:08:43,489 --> 00:08:45,091 There's a big. Responsibility. On you. 211 00:08:45,091 --> 00:08:47,393 If services are going to have to end from your end from 212 00:08:47,393 --> 00:08:49,929 for some sort of reason, for you to connect them with services, 213 00:08:49,929 --> 00:08:53,266 for you to end the relationship while taking care to minimize. 214 00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:54,467 Possible adverse effects. 215 00:08:54,467 --> 00:08:56,936 Social workers should assist in making appropriate arrangements 216 00:08:56,936 --> 00:08:59,038 for continuation of services when necessary. 217 00:08:59,038 --> 00:09:01,140 That's kind of how I was mentioning the referrals outward. 218 00:09:01,140 --> 00:09:01,574 I can no. 219 00:09:01,574 --> 00:09:05,177 Longer provide you services, but here are people who realistically can. 220 00:09:05,177 --> 00:09:07,747 Social workers who anticipate the termination or interruption of. 221 00:09:07,747 --> 00:09:10,149 Services to clients should notify clients promptly. 222 00:09:10,149 --> 00:09:13,219 And seek the transfer, referral or continuation of services in relation. 223 00:09:13,219 --> 00:09:15,121 To the client's needs and preferences. I was trying to. 224 00:09:15,121 --> 00:09:16,689 Keep these videos mostly educational. 225 00:09:16,689 --> 00:09:17,123 Because that's. 226 00:09:17,123 --> 00:09:19,325 What they are, but I think sometimes examples are helpful. 227 00:09:19,325 --> 00:09:19,592 So for. 228 00:09:19,592 --> 00:09:22,862 Example, I just recently left a position I had seven clients 229 00:09:22,862 --> 00:09:25,831 that I was seeing at the time, and I. Gave three weeks notice to my employer. 230 00:09:25,831 --> 00:09:28,000 So I had three. Weeks to notify and prepare. 231 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,369 Clients for termination of services with me. 232 00:09:30,369 --> 00:09:32,271 Now they are going to continue their services. 233 00:09:32,271 --> 00:09:34,307 They are going to do so with different people. 234 00:09:34,307 --> 00:09:36,909 And so in those three weeks, we discussed feelings. 235 00:09:36,909 --> 00:09:38,778 That may have come up due to my leaving. 236 00:09:38,778 --> 00:09:40,880 We discussed plans for going forward, 237 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,183 specifically, which clinician were they going to go to for each client? 238 00:09:44,183 --> 00:09:47,753 It was different of how to transfer clinicians best. 239 00:09:47,753 --> 00:09:49,121 Some wanted me to just. 240 00:09:49,121 --> 00:09:49,522 Meet by. 241 00:09:49,522 --> 00:09:51,457 Myself with their new person and kind of give 242 00:09:51,457 --> 00:09:53,125 an overview of their chart and what's been. 243 00:09:53,125 --> 00:09:56,162 Going on in their present day problems, because then they felt empowered to just. 244 00:09:56,162 --> 00:09:57,730 Hit the ground running with the new person. 245 00:09:57,730 --> 00:09:58,698 For some clients, they. 246 00:09:58,698 --> 00:10:01,701 Felt most comfortable doing joint sessions with me, their new 247 00:10:01,701 --> 00:10:04,203 clinician and themselves just to kind of pass the. 248 00:10:04,203 --> 00:10:04,770 Baton. 249 00:10:04,770 --> 00:10:07,506 Get to transition into a new person more comfortably. 250 00:10:07,506 --> 00:10:08,274 Some clients who. 251 00:10:08,274 --> 00:10:09,875 Felt very confident with the change was like, 252 00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:11,744 no big deal, I'll just pick up where I. 253 00:10:11,744 --> 00:10:14,347 Left off.
