As a social worker I plan to educate my clients on the importance of family time and how much of an impact it has on their family. I plan to speak to my clients both parents, and child or children to get information on time spent with one another. I will ask a series of questions on how they feel about each other as far as love, trust, bonds, self-confidence within themselves, and more. I will find out what the parents work schedules are and what activities the child or children are involved in other than school.
Once I gathering the information given from the family I will then go over the information that I have gathered. Once I go over the gathered information I will see how and when family times can be incorporated. Once I come up with a suggestion on how family time can take place, I will present it to the family as a whole. After presenting this to the family I would ask that they try this method for a week and come back to see me.
When we meet back up the following we week, we will discuss how setting aside the family time made them feel. I would like each member of the family to speak on how it made them feel one by one. Hopefully the feedback is positive and they are willing to stick to the suggested plan. If the suggested plan doesn’t work for the family I would be open to take their suggestions on what they think went wrong and what think would allow family time to work. Setup a follow up and see if it went better the second time around.
Hopefully; educating my clients on the importance of family time will persuade them to set the time aside for their families. I also plan to have other resources available for some families that would like to attend fun outdoors by offer coupons or deals to make it cheaper. I also can offer them finical resource classes to attend to help with budgeting so they can do things.
I like the steps you will take to express the importance of family time. I do believe that family time is important and should be used more often.
ReplyDeleteI like the steps that you are taking. I love that you are going to gather info first and then go based on that instead of going based on your own knowledge. Good job !
ReplyDeleteIt is good to get everyone involved in the process. As a social worker, that would let you know everyone's perspective on any issues the family has.
