Case plan (Please paraphrase the information. Don’t copy as I use AI to write before information)
Given that B’s primary and urgent concern is settling the court fine to avoid imprisonment, the priority for the social worker should be addressing that issue first through a solution-focused approach. Here’s how the sessions could be structured:
*Session 1:*
– Use solution-focused techniques to explore all possible options for paying the $11,600 fine on time.
– Help B identify his strengths, resources (e.g., family support, vocational skills), and past successes in overcoming challenges.
– Set a specific, achievable goal for this issue, such as negotiating a payment plan with the court or raising funds from family/community.
*Session 2:*
– Brainstorm concrete steps B can take towards the goal, considering different scenarios and their potential outcomes.
– Discuss the pros and cons of each option, empowering B to make an informed choice that aligns with his values and capabilities.
– Use scaling questions to assess B’s confidence and readiness to take action.
*Session 3:*
– Support B in implementing the chosen solution, whether it’s communicating with authorities, seeking legal aid, or reaching out to family for assistance.
– Celebrate small wins and adjustments made along the way.
– Address any emotional barriers or self-doubts that may hinder progress.
*Sessions 4-6:*
– Once the urgent legal issue is addressed or a clear path is established, shift the focus to exploring B’s personal narratives and building resilience.
– Utilize narrative therapy techniques to reframe his life experiences, highlighting his resilience, courage, and meaningful roles (e.g., fisherman, dragon boat racer, caring son/father).
– Introduce emotion regulation strategies, such as mindfulness and creative expression, to help B process and release underlying emotions like sadness, anxiety, and stress related to his upcoming surgery and past legal troubles.
– Develop a comprehensive stress management plan incorporating various coping mechanisms and support systems.
Throughout the process, maintain a collaborative and non-judgmental approach, validating B’s efforts and empowering him to take an active role in problem-solving. Regular reviews and adjustments to the intervention plan may be necessary based on progress and emerging needs.
Please review if the plan is valid and easy to execute.
