IUPUI ScholarWorkshttps://hdl.handle.net/1805/23543This DEAL (describe, examine, and articulate learning) reflection paper is to demonstrate my understanding of theoretical frameworks and their application in the context of agency in which I am placed. In addition to strengths-based approach, I selected ecological theory and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to explain the client system as well as practice in the agency. In this agency, I am involved in Family Strengthening program, and the main service is to address financial challenges and basic needs of clients.en-USPovertyDEAL ReflectionHuman Behavior in the Social EnvironmentStrengths-Based ApproachEcological TheoryArticle
