HN531 Discussion 6

Setting Goals and Objectives

1. Select and describe a target  population that you can see yourself working with in the future. What  should be included in the service definition in order to make it  specific for a target population? Write a draft of the service  definition.
2. What are service tasks? Describe the significance of service tasks.
3. Current service tasks include  screening and assessment, developing a treatment plan, teaching  problem-solving skills, and helping individuals and families develop  coping skills. How would you adapt these service tasks to the  characteristics of Asian American families?
4. In Chapter 8 of your text, you  reviewed the process for assessing a client’s problems. What kinds of  world view questions, values questions, and racial identity questions  might be explored that would be different from the questions asked for  non-African American clients?
5. How might one or two of these questions be scaled for pretest and posttest purposes?
6. If the ultimate outcome is for  clients to become free of dependency or free enough of dependency to  hold a job and fulfill family responsibilities, what might be some  intermediate outcome expectations? Be sure to reference what you  reviewed in Chapter 9 of your text.
