Activity 2: Case Study Analysis
Objective:
To understand the role of social workers in real-life scenarios and learn intervention
strategies.
Case Study Topics: (Choose only 1)
1. Poverty and Economic Hardship:

Many of the youth live in low-income neighborhoods, with limited access to basic
necessities and opportunities for upward mobility.
2. Substance Abuse and Mental Health:
Some of the youth are involved in drug use, either as a coping mechanism for
trauma or peer pressure, and may also be struggling with mental health issues
like depression or anxiety.
3. Educational Barriers:
Many of the youth are disengaged from school, either due to academic struggles,
behavioral issues, or a lack of support at home.
4. Peer Influence and Gang Involvement:
The youth are often influenced by peer pressure and are at risk of becoming
involved in criminal activities or gang life, which offers a sense of belonging and
financial gain.
Procedure:
1. Preparation)
Read or watch a brief case study that illustrates a social worker’s involvement in
a real-world situation. For example, the case could involve a social worker
assisting survivors after a natural disaster or working with a vulnerable group like
at-risk youth, elderly individuals, or refugees.
Note the main issue(s) presented in the case study. Consider the immediate
needs of the client(s), any challenges faced by the social worker, and the context
of the intervention.

2. Identify the Social Worker’s Role

After reviewing the case study, identify the roles the social worker plays. Social
workers may assume various roles.
Write down each role and briefly describe how it relates to the case. For example,
a social worker might act as an advocate for a child in the foster care system or
as a counselor for a trauma survivor.
3. Analyze Intervention Strategies (10 minutes):

List the intervention strategies the social worker uses to assist the clients in the
case study. These could include:
o Connecting clients with resources: This could involve helping clients
access housing, food, or medical services after a disaster or crisis.
o Counseling: Offering mental health support and coping strategies to
individuals facing trauma, grief, or emotional distress.
o Crisis intervention: Providing immediate support during an emergency,
such as a natural disaster or family conflict.
o Advocacy: Speaking on behalf of the client to ensure they receive
necessary services or legal protection.
For each strategy, note its purpose and how it addresses the client’s needs. For
example, connecting clients to housing after a disaster addresses their
immediate need for shelter.
4. Evaluate the Effectiveness of Interventions (10 minutes):

Reflect on the outcomes of the social worker’s actions in the case study.
Consider the following questions:
o Were the interventions successful in meeting the client’s needs?
o Did the social worker’s actions lead to positive changes or improvements
in the client’s situation?
o Were there any missed opportunities for further intervention or support?
Consider how the social worker might improve their approach. Could they have
used different intervention strategies? What other resources or support might
have been beneficial for the client?

5. Discussion or Summary
If done in a group, share your findings with peers and compare perspectives on
the social worker’s role and strategies used. Discuss whether different
approaches might have been more effective or if other interventions should have
been considered.
Individually, summarize what you learned about effective social work intervention.
What strategies do you think would be most important for a social worker in a
similar scenario? How do the social worker’s roles impact client outcomes and
overall success?
Outcome:
By completing this activity, you will develop a deeper understanding of practical social
work strategies and how they can be applied to real-life scenarios. You will also gain
insight into the diverse roles social workers play in supporting clients and the impact of
their interventions on client outcomes.
