Week 6 Assignment 1
A process recording is a written tool used by field education experience students, field instructors, and faculty to examine the dynamics of social work interactions in time. Process recordings can help in developing and refining interviewing and intervention skills. By conceptualizing and organizing ongoing activities with social work clients, you are able to clarify the purpose of interviews and interventions, identify personal and professional strengths and weaknesses, and improve self-awareness. The process recording is also a useful tool in exploring the interpersonal dynamics and values operating between you and the client system through an analysis of filtering the process used in recording a session.
For this Assignment, you will submit a process recording of your field education experiences specific to this week.
The Assignment: (2–4 pages)

An explanation of potential challenges for intervention during your field education experience
The potential challenges for intervention during the field education experience is not accessing intervention on an ecosystem perspective. Many of the callers are homeless, suicidal, and or experiencing relapse due to a history of substance abuse. However, as a social worker, we must view interventions on a micro and macro level. The profession of social work examines social problems from an ecosystems perspective, understanding the interplay between micro and macro factors in terms of the development of a social problem. (Garthwait, 2016, p. 88) For example, if a caller needs assitance for suicide, how can we help by providing a intervention on a large- scale for their stability.
An explanation of personal action plans you might take to address intervention in your field education experience
In references to callers that are suicidal we intervene by gathering location and physical appearance, so that active rescue is sent. On the other hand, personal action plans I might take to address intervention in the field experience is to understand the problem. Garthwait (2016) addresses that clients who are experiencing problems firsthand may view them very differently from the way someone else views their problem.( p. 93) Therefore, I must gain the most understanding because it will allow the determination of what resources are needed to be provided and best interventions on a macro level to use.

In my field experience, I have had the opportunity to engage with clients during assessment and intervention. I have not, however, had much opportunity to engage with intervention at the community level. As social workers, we must learn to recognize and address social problems that affect our clients (Garthwait, 2017).
In my field practice agency, we have many clients who are affected by addiction. As addiction has become a priority issue in our recent society, I think it is important for social workers to be involved in policy and advocacy for this social problem. I plan to intervene locally by attending multidisciplinary meetings of professionals working on this issue, as well as peer-led meetings of a local addiction and mental health group. By engaging with the social problem personally, I will better know how to intervene appropriately and effectively. We serve many clients in recovery, and it is in their best interest for us to intervene on a macro level.

In my field education experience, there can be multiple potential challenges that could arise before or during the intervention process. One potential challenge that can arise is the diversity that comes with the clients we serve. With diversity comes different points of views and beliefs (Garthwait, 2017). This aspect can impact the process of the intervention. For example, in certain cultures, women are not perceived as equals. I’ve had female workers at the agency inform me that when they’ve met with men from a different culture, the man did not treat them with the same respect or take them seriously because they did not believe that women should be authority figures.
Another challenge to intervention are social problems such as poverty (Garthwait, 2017). With poverty, comes barriers. These barriers could include something as minor as being able to acquire transportation in order to obtain needed services (Sanchez, 2008).
In order to address intervention in my field education experience, I would ensure that I am up to date on interventions that are applicable to the populations my agency serves. As social workers, having current knowledge of interventions is a vital part of the code of ethics in regards to being competent (NASW, 2017).
