Case Study and Social Issues
Claudia is 6 years old who is a U.S. citizen, but her parents are immigrates from
Nicaragua (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014b). Claudia’s family struggles economically
and also struggling to obtain legal residency (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014b). Claudia
witnessed a mugging in her neighborhood and began to be very anxious and needy (Plummer,
Makris, & Brocksen, 2014b).
One of the social issues that Claudia and her family have is immigration status. Claudia’s
parents have not been able to obtain legal residency (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014b). Her
father inconsistently finds work in manual labor and her mother only works 3 nights a week at a
nail salon (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014b). Another social issue is, Claudia’s
environment. Claudia and her parents live in an impoverished urban neighborhood with a rising
crime rate (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014b).

A culturally competent strategy that could be used to assess the needs of children is the
Empowerment approach. Empowerment approach maintains that each person has strengths,
skills, and talents that can enable the client to function positively and enhance his or her own
well-being (Fong, 2009). A client is sometimes unable to achieve this potential because he or she
is culturally, psychologically, socially, or physically blocked (Fong, 2009). Social workers help
the client find ways to overcome these barriers and become fully functioning again (Fong, 2009).
Another culturally competent strategy is strengths perspective. Strength perspective is a
way of approaching the client and purposefully collecting information about the client’s positive
attributes and behaviors (Fong, 2009). The strength perspective is particularly important for the
culturally competent social worker because ethnic client’s worldview may be so different from
