\u00a0<\/p>\n

Being culturally sensitive by respecting your clients’ spirituality and religious traditions, in general, is an important professional competence (Furness & Gilligan, 2010). Applying your spiritual awareness to a specific client case, however, may require even greater skill. In this assignment, you consider how you might address a client’s crisis that includes a spiritual or religious component.<\/p>\n

To prepare for this Assignment, review this week’s media about Eboni Logan’s visit with her school social worker.<\/p>\n

By Day 7<\/h4>\n

Submit<\/strong> a 2- to 4-page paper that answers the following questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. As Eboni’s social worker, would you include spirituality and religion in your initial assessment? Why or why not?<\/li>\n
  2. What strategies can you use to ensure that your personal values will not influence your practice with Eboni?<\/li>\n
  3. How would you address the crisis that Eboni is experiencing?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Support your Assignment with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.<\/em><\/p>\n
