Social Worker: Hello, David. I’m JR, a social worker intern at Safe Havens Inc. How’s your day going?
David: Good, how are you?
Social Worker: Doing well, thank you. Before we get started, I’m going to go over some confidentiality forms. The forms state that whatever we talk about stays between me and you, it will not leave this room. If you would take a moment to read through the forms and sign and if you have any questions about it let me know. Ok, let’s move on. I’m here to assist with any challenges or difficulties you might be facing. Mind if I take a few notes?
David: That’s fine.
Social Worker: Have you visited our center before, or is this your first time seeking support?
David: No, I haven’t been here before.
Social Worker: Alright. Is this your first time talking to a social worker intern?
David: Yes, it is.
Social Worker: Great. Today, my goal is to understand what you’re struggling with and why you came in. Then, we’ll discuss the next steps to address your concerns. Our sessions typically run for about 1 hour.
David: Okay.
Social Worker: So, tell me a bit about what brought you here today.
David: I’ve been feeling sad.
Social Worker: I’m sorry to hear that. Is there a specific reason causing these feelings?
David: Kids at school have been mean, bullying me by calling names and making fun of what I wear.
Social Worker: That sounds tough. What actions have you taken in response to the bullying? Have you talked to anyone about it?
David: I’ve told them to leave me alone and informed the teacher.
Social Worker: It’s important that you’re standing up for yourself. Now, you mentioned feeling depressed. Can you elaborate on that? What kind of emotions are you experiencing?
David: I feel sad, and it’s affecting me. I even consider changing schools.
Social Worker: I understand. What does a typical day look like for you?
David: I wake up, have breakfast, take the bus, and go to school.
Social Worker: Who do you live with?
David: My grandparents adopted me after my mom passed away.
Social Worker: I’m sorry for your loss. Are they supportive?
David: Yes, they provide everything I need and support me in reaching my goals.
Social Worker: That’s good to hear. Do you have friends outside of school?
David: Yes, I’m close to my cousins and church family.
Social Worker: Are they supportive as well?
David: Yes, they are.
Social Worker: Have you considered seeing a counselor for your depression?
David: No, I haven’t.
Social Worker: There are counselors who specialize in helping individuals facing bullying. They can provide solutions to address it.
David: I’m willing to try anything to improve my situation.
Social Worker: Great. We’ll work on the necessary paperwork during our next visit, and I’ll also make a referral for you to see a grief counselor.
David: Okay.
Social Worker: It was nice meeting you, David. I look forward to our next session.
David: Thank you. I’m looking forward to it too.
