Saw my field supervisor this morning. We had a wonderful discussion on case management and social work. For social workers, focus is placed on ensuring that the client’s interest is placed as first priority and that confidentiality of the client should not be compromised at anytime. However, case management in the context that I’m working in may not allow us to practice such. Given the uniqueness of the clients and the circumstances they are in, it is often difficult to ascertain which course of action is for the best interests of the clients. When and where do we draw the line? Or can we draw a line? especially when these clients are not in any position to ascertain what’s right and wrong, and what’s good and bad. If they are unable to tackle fundamental issues of human survival, can the clients then be empowered or make an informed decision on their future path?
Oh well….this goes on and on……
Feeling dryness and pain at the throat area, hope I will not be coming down with a sore throat...
