The Case of Dara Francois
Dara Francois is a young Haitian female in her 20’s. She has reached out to my agency, which is a state-funded human services agency. As Ms. Francois’ social worker, I will be meeting with her twice a week to discuss goals that are most feasible to her. Ms Francois suffers from anxiety, which is effecting her employment and everyday life. She is claiming that an advocacy group has asked for her information regarding her public assistance and can reduce her 5-year time limit. This can cause for her to lose her cash benefits, leading to losing her subsidized apartment, food stamps, and subsidized child care. Some main goals that I will focus on with Ms. Francois are working on her anxiety, keeping her job, and investigating her current status on her public assistance benefits. I will be reassuring Ms. Francois about her right to shelter and that I will be here to guide her along the way. I would need to research more information about the “lawsuit” against the U.S. government that the advocacy group is insisting about. Unfortunately, when Ms. Francois asks me to give her case record to them as a part of a class action suit, I will need to refuse. Some legal assistance from a lawyer will need to take place in order to provide the best care and protection for my client. Regarding her current job, I will explore what may be some areas that can be risker her to leave her jobs. Perhaps we can find a specific job that will reduce her stress and still meet the requirements of the PWRORA. I am also wondering who my client’s support systems are. Does she have someone to talk to and be there for her? And if not, perhaps a support group can benefit Ms. Francois. It is important for Ms. Francois to make an appointment with public assistance to find out her current status. Knowing how many years she has left in receiving assistance may help reduce her anxiety if the results are in her favor. She can also set some goals for
