-: My name is Robyn Georgius and I am a social worker.
Yeah, when a client comes in, first and foremost,
the most important thing is to try to make clients
feel very comfortable and let them know
that the things that we talking about are confidential,
that they don't leave the room.
And explain if there is a time
you'd have to share information,
make sure clients understand
that this is a confidential setting.
And then we do an assessment.
You get background information.
Who is the person that you're talking to?
What do they do?
What are their likes, dislikes?
And what are the things that are causing them
distress and problems in their life?
What are the things that made them
reach out to engage in therapy?
