The case presentation is a requirement for students who are finishing the Mental Health and Addictions (MHA) focus area practicum and should be completed toward the end of the final field placement. In order to be prepared for the case presentation, students and field instructors should discuss which client system may be appropriate to utilize for this case presentation early on and as the practicum evolves.
The purpose of the case presentation is twofold. First, it provides a vehicle through which a student can demonstrate competency in a variety of areas relevant to the Mental Health and Addictions focus area practicum. Secondly, faculty field liaison scoring of each student’s presentation is aggregated and enables the School of Social Work to assess its effectiveness in preparing students for competent practice in the area of mental health and addictions.
I have attached the Case in the evaluation paper. You will need to use her assessment and her background to complete the instructions for this case presentation.
