Write a brief topic proposal—the topic for your research paper. You should identify a topic, and a specific issue and research question within that topic, that stems from your specific academic interests in your major field of study. Make sure it is a topic you really want to learn more about because you will be working on it for the rest of the semester. Essentially, you are making the case that this is a good topic for you to write about, that your research question is important, that you are prepared to research this issue, and you will explain how you will go about doing so. In other words, convince me that this is a good idea and that you are the right person to do this research at this time.

Select a client system, (an individual (micro), family, group, (mezzo) or representatives from an organization or community (macro). You will then identify a presenting concern brought by the client system in a summary paragraph and then provide the dialogue between you and the client(s). This interaction should be a demonstration of an initial meeting with a client during which you are engaging them in the helping process and beginning the assessment phase.
