General Intervention Information

After assessment, a social worker chooses a module for intervention. This can be individual, family/couple, or group interventions. Also, taken into consideration is the time/length of the intervention which can be affected by the type of intervention (ex: task-specific) and client involvement. Sometimes, especially in group interventions, there may be a choice to have one or more social workers providing the intervention.

Supervisors sometimes also have to make decisions based on the right social worker fit for the client and assign a social worker. The supervisor takes into consideration things such as gender, race, and religious fit in order to determine if there will be any stereotypical blocks preventing the client from utilizing and trusting social worker.
