Please review the following article: Doing Family Therapy as a New Social Worker: The Do's and Don'ts. While this article mentions family therapy, please consider the skills of a beginning Social Worker/Case Manager as you read this article. After reviewing this article, please consider the following in your discussion post: Please share your thoughts on how you can apply this information as a Social Worker. What do you think are some of the benefits/challenges in working with families? To receive full credit, you will need to post one substantial post. Each discussion post should be a minimum of 250 words or one page. Provide two substantial responses to your classmate’s posts. These responses should also be substantial and provide thoughtful reflection. Your initial discussion post should be posted by Wednesday and your two responses due by Sunday. The article Doing Family Therapy as a New Social Worker: The Do’s and Don’ts was really informative and provided a plethora of knowledge on the mistakes and safety measures that one should be mindful of while working with families as clients. The article pointed out several that I can apply to my work as a Social Worker and one was to avoid being entangled in the turmoil of one's family, chaos, is a crucial lesson that the essay highlighted. One must maintain professional standards at all times and therefore in my opinion they will garner the respect and trust of the client. Another advice that I will take with me from this article is to never judge the family’s current skill set. This is important advice if you want to be accurate when addressing their needs and establishing a course of action that is effective. In my opinion some of the benefits of working with families are; you get a chance to see the complete picture, it is like a puzzle. It helps you to understand the dynamics within a family. Therefore, you can address members knowing their capacity to achieve certain goals. It can also identify where your concentration needs to be applied more aggressively. Some of the challenges of working with families that I can envision are navigating complicated dynamics and interpersonal disputes. Some family dynamics could include physical abuse, drug abuse, or mental health difficulties. There is the difficulty of balancing the demands and viewpoints of different family members and remaining neutral. In working with families, it

could also be difficult to encourage the whole family’s involvement and possible face resistance from some to suggestions for change.
