This is a continuing procedure. The last step of the helping process is when the client and the social worker agree on when and how the helping relationship will cease. A fluid and dynamic series of encounters between a social worker and a client aimed at issue resolution and growth completion, the ending of the relationship is not necessarily an all-or-nothing proposition. Social workers help clients make decisions about their lives by providing information and advocating for their interests. Social workers also work with clients to solve problems that may be preventing them from making appropriate choices or taking advantage of available resources. In addition, social workers help clients develop skills they need to succeed in the world outside of the office by conducting follow-up visits and maintaining contact through correspondence. Client needs and goals should influence the end of the relationship. For example, if the client wants to stop receiving services but cannot afford a break in coverage, he or she can continue to see the social worker during regularly scheduled appointments until his or her coverage expires. At this point, the client would have to find another way to cover his or her expenses. In conclusion, the ending of the relationship is a continuation of the helping process. It is a fluid and dynamic series of encounters between a social worker and a client aimed at issue resolution and growth completion.
