As an advanced-practice social worker, your toolbox should include tried and true interventions for use with adults (like cognitive behavioral therapy [CBT]) but should also make room for emerging interventions that could be promising. Virtual reality therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness-based stress reduction, and trauma-informed care have all been developed relatively recently, for example.
As you stay abreast of developments in the field, you may even want to gain certification or training in new therapeutic interventions. This is all part of being an informed, competent practitioner who desires to hone their knowledge and continue to evolve.
In this Assignment, you explore interventions for use with adults.

WEEKLY RESOURCES
To Prepare
Access the Clinical Social Work Interventions link in the Learning Resources.
On that site, explore three different interventions for use with adults. Select one that you can see yourself using in practice with adult clients. Do not use an intervention that you have chosen previously. Interventions are attached separately.
Consider why you have chosen this intervention and its strengths and limitations.
ASSIGNMENT BELOW:
Submit a 1-page paper analyzing the adult intervention you have chosen:
Why did you select the intervention?
Why might it be especially helpful for use with adults?
What challenges or limitations might there be for this intervention?
Use the Learning Resources to support your Assignment. Make sure to provide APA citations and a reference list.
Note: As an advanced practice social worker, it is assumed that issues in the environment have been addressed. Now your interventions should be looking at theoretical modalities that are appropriate for the population.
