Why is it important for social workers to consider a client's outside social supports
when working with them?
a. Because if the social worker knows a client has social supports who view the
social worker and services as credible, as well as encourage the client, the
social worker also knows that the chances the client will engage in change
work are increased
b. Because if the social worker knows a client has social supports who do not
view the social worker and services as credible, and does not encourage the
client, the social worker also knows that the chances the client will engage in
change work are increased
c. Because if the social worker knows a client has social supports who view the
client and change work as credible, as well as encourage the social worker,
the social worker knows that the chances the client's members of their social
support system will engage in change work are increased
d. Because the social worker will use the feedback from the client's outside
social supports to gauge how well the client is doing in regards to change
work
