Homework: Spirituality and Social Work Practice
Being culturally sensitive by respecting your clients' spirituality and religious traditions, in general, is an important professional competence (Furness & Gilligan, 2010). Applying your spiritual awareness to a specific client case, however, may require even greater skill.

o How would you address the crisis that Eboni is experiencing?
