Activity: Sarah's story

This activity presents a scenario involving a client. You will choose a series of questions to ask the client based on the scenario. To start the activity, select the right arrow at the bottom right corner of the page. You may proceed by selecting the arrows or using your left and right arrow keys to view the information you may solicit based on the types of questions you ask. The purpose of this activity is to draw your attention to how we ask certain questions and the kinds of assumptions we make based on the responses we receive. It emphasizes the importance of asking specific, relevant questions during intake or the first meeting with the client in order to obtain more thorough information with respect to migration, pre-migration experiences and post-migration realities. In this way, you can provide help and support that is relevant to the client and that effectively meets the client's needs.
