Supervisor introduced who I am, as her Social Work Intern, and wanted to know if it was fine for me to attend their meeting.

Lopez and my supervisor, I was confused and surprised on what was stated within the meeting. It was confusing at different parts of Ms. Lopez’s story when she was explaining, and when Social Worker was asking her question. When observing Ms. Lopez, it seemed as though she desperate for help, and so much was going on within her family whereas she got unanswered question when trying to see her daughter. She was also concerned about her son on how he feels on their current situation. Another thing is, while still observing, my supervisor was confused as to what was being said by Ms. Lopez. When given the opportunity, supervisor was able to ask questions to fully understand her family
