1PROFESSIONAL SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE
Role-play between client and social worker
Social Worker: We welcome you to Ballarat Youth Health Centre, Jim. How are you feeling
today?
Client: Thank you ma’am. I am feeling great today. I am really looking forward to my
experience here. I wonder why I am here.
Social Worker: Don’t worry, my boy. The principal of your school had sent you here to me so I
can take care of you in the proper method. Why are you looking so nervous?
Client: Actually I’m feeling very worried to be out here as I do not have previous experience of
this place or what you do. Will you scold me ma’am?
Social worker: Oh no, not at all, dear Jim. I am only here to help you to sort out your troubles. I
have hear from your principal that you have become very naughty in the recent times and you
have many issues with eating your food. Is it true?
Client: Yes ma’am. Actually I am very much fond of eating and I have been used to be fed by
my mum. She always fed me with her hands. This is why I have been feeling very bad about my
food habit.
Social worker: Yes I can understand that you have been feeling very alone. This is why you have
been very much introvert and cannot share your feelings.
Client: Yes ma’am. Actually I have not been able to eat properly for the last few days. I have
been wasting my food and not eating on the time.
Social worker: What kinds of foods do you like Jim?
