This paper will serve as the introduction to your overall Final Integrative Paper and should introduce the client(s) or family (DP students) to the reader. This paper will provide context to future papers and will lay the foundation for subsequent sections.

• Introduce the client (e.g., individual or family) and describe the agency/program within which you are working with them. Provide an overview of the practice situation. This is the reason you are working with this particular client.
• Discuss how this practice situation fits into your area of specialization. For example, if your area of specialization is Mental Health and Substance Misuse, describe how the client's challenges/concerns fit the definition of mental health and substance misuse social work services.

• This paper should be written in 3rd person and adhere to APA guidelines. All individual client information should be de-identified.
• Understanding your population (client/agency) is an important place to start. This is the research you need to conduct before you can conduct research. For this assignment, you will be gaining a better understanding of your population and the social issues they face. It helps you build a case for why an intervention is needed. It will also help guide you later as your determine culturally competent approaches to interventions with your population.
• You will want to search background information sources that give context and prevalence information rather than going into academic literature where a study has been conducted. That will come later. Background information sources can be scholarly, but usually aren't found in academic journals. Instead, this type of information is found in things like encyclopedias and textbooks, government reports and data, and organizational or agency websites.
