The communication skills I currently use in the field of social work are as follows:

1. Listening skills, such as listening to the client and understanding client needs and wants more carefully and responsively. Acknowledging the feelings they are expressing. Compassionately allowing them to express their feelings. Listening and reflecting back on what I hear allows me to identify client’s thoughts. Listening in the field of social work is crucial in understanding client’s situation. Listening responsibly lets the client know you care about them.

2. Explaining conversational intent and invite client consent. In order to help client cooperate and reduce any misunderstandings, invite client to join in the kind of conversation you want to have. Whether it may be long, comple

Even though they have experienced the same horrors of war their different “themes” keep them looking for and paying attention to different kinds of experiences in the present. The important thing to remember is life is always larger than our stories or events of a person’s life. This opens a path toward giving gratitude for all people in this world.
