Document Summary
Macro- working at a large level (social policies, social movements ect) Alex- he has been kicked out due to family issues. Staying with a friend but will be homeless. He is failing out of school because he is not showing up. If we were working with alex we"d go through the generalist process. If you don"t start a relationship with someone they will not come back. Most important way of engaging someone is respect. They will understand we are willing to treat them well if they feel respected. We must also show acceptance as human beings who deserve help. You must be willing to learn & know yourself. Exploring the issue they are dealing with & the change they want to create. It must be a collaborative process & must understand the person looking for help is the expert on their life.
