Hi, guys! I am confused now. During our meetings, one of my clients often seeks solutions to his legal problems. I feel like I am a lawyer rather than a social worker. What should I do?

He/she may seek to avoid using law offices because of expensive legal fees and long waiting lists for legal aid. For most social workers providing services to individuals experiencing a legal problem requires a referral to an agency that can provide legal services or resources where individuals can obtain an attorney or legal advice. Others may provide services to clients experiencing a divorce, custody issues, or bankruptcy. While providing services, these issues may arise but may not be the primary focus of services. Social workers in these settings should possess skills to identify legal problems for appropriate referrals or other actions.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
