1. Social Work Research: Couples Counseling Kathleen is a 37-year-old, Caucasian female of Irish descent, and her partner, Lisa, is a 38-year-old, Caucasian female with a Hungarian ethnic background. Kathleen reports that she has a long family history of substance use but has never used alcohol or drugs herself. She does not have a criminal history and utilized counseling services 10 years ago for family issues regarding her father’s alcohol use. Kathleen works as a nurse in a local hospital on the cardiac floor where she has been employed for 8 years. Lisa reports experimenting with substances during college. She currently drinks wine on occasion. Lisa does not have a criminal history. Lisa has had many jobs and stated that she was unable to find her niche until recently when she took out a loan and opened a small Hungarian restaurant serving her grandmother’s recipes. Her restaurant has been open 1 year. Lisa reports that while she enjoys the work and has found her niche, she must work constantly to be successful, and she is worried the business might fail. Kathleen and Lisa have been together for over 15 years. They have a close group of friends and see their families on major holidays. They came to outpatient counseling at a nonprofit agency to examine the possibility of starting a family together. They were both feeling ambivalent about it, and it had been the source of more than a few arguments, so they decided to come to counseling to address their concerns in a more productive way. They said they chose this agency because it was recognized as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) friendly. They asked about my sexual orientation and my history because they were concerned about my level of experience working with the issues they were presenting. I thanked Kathleen and Lisa for sharing this concern, and I informed them of various programs I had worked in within the agency, including supportive services for LGBT youth in schools and in the community. I also shared our agency philosophy and mission, which includes outcome measures and engaging clients in feedback to evaluate practice. I explained the tools we used to measure outcomes. The first form measures how each of them are feeling with regard to their life and current circumstances. There are four different scales to measure aspects of their lives, such as social, family, emotional health, etc. I also provided the chart on which I score the scales and track progress. I explained that the purpose was to see where they began to demonstrate progress with the work we were doing. The second form measures how well I am providing treatment. I demonstrated the four scales that measure if the client feels heard and understood and if we addressed in session what they wanted to. I explained that this should address their concern about my ability to assist them. Because we would be evaluating both how they felt and how the sessions were going each week, we could make adjustments on.

Looking Ahead
In Week 4, you will submit a paper covering Parts 1, 3, 4, and 5 from the outline. This assignment will require you to synthesize what you have learned in the first 3 weeks with what you learn in Week 4. You DO NOT need to write an abstract at this stage. These sections constitute the introduction and literature review in a completed research study. This same material also constitutes a beginning research plan or proposal.
Focusing Research Questions and Developing Hypotheses
One of the challenges in writing research questions is that they must be at once general enough to make the study feasible but narrow enough in order to focus the researcher on making choices that will underpin a successful research study. Implementing literature reviews is one way that a researcher can, at once, focus his or her research question and get a sense of what kind of research has already been conducted.
This week you consider the purpose and function of literature reviews. You also consider the consequences of not conducting a literature review and thus being unaware of pre-existing literature on the topic that you are researching.

Social Work Research Using Multiple Assessments Lucil.docx
Social Work Research: Using Multiple
Assessments
Lucille is a 68-year-old, Caucasian female. Her husband of 43 years passed away 4 years ago
after a long and debilitating illness during which Lucille was his primary caregiver. During their
marriage, he worked at the sanitation department, and she was a homemaker. She continues to live
in the house where she and her husband raised their three children. Lucille receives a limited
income of approximately $2,100/month from her husband’s retirement pension
and Social Security; she owns her home and has no major outstanding debts. She receives
Medicare to cover her major medical expenses and a small supplemental health plan to cover any
outstanding medical costs. Her physical health is good, and she has not had any major illnesses or
surgeries, although she has not had a complete physical in over two years. Her favorite hobbies
are gardening and cooking. Lucille has two sons and one daughter, each living away from home
with their own families. Lucille’s daughter and one son reside in the local area; her other son lives
in another state.
Lucille’s major concern is about her daughter, Alice (33), who has battled substance abuse and
alcoholism since adolescence. At present, Alice is not employed and has had several encounters
with law enforcement for drug possession and intent to sell illegal substances. Alice has admitted
that she has used cocaine as well as other substances in the past. She has made several attempts to
go into drug rehabilitation, but she has never completed a program. Her siblings have essentially
disowned her. Alice has three children, Michael (6), Rachael (4), and Randy (18 months), who
was recently diagnosed with fetal alcohol effects (FAE). Lucille is not certain who is the father of
her grandchildren; it is a subject Alice refuses to discuss. Alice has repeatedly left her children
alone for several hours in their tiny apartment, and once she was gone for several days. Child
Welfare has interceded, but Alice continues to have custody of her children. Whenever Lucille
visits her daughter and grandchildren, the living conditions are filthy, there is little food in the
house, and there is talk of constant “visitors” to the house well into the night. Because of Alice’s
instability, Lucille has taken physical custody of her grandchildren without any redress from Alice.
Lucille’s family members are not aware of the stress Lucille is feeling about possibly having to
spend the rest of her life raising her grandchildren, including one with a disability. This causes
Lucille to often feel “down in the dumps,” resulting in overeating because, as she stated, “comfort
food makes me feel better.” Within 2 months, she gained 15 pounds.
Lucille heard about a counseling program at the local community center for grandparents
raising grandchildren. The program provides support, group meetings, parenting classes,
individual counselin.

An outsider might not know that I’m a lesbian and that I am married to a woman. Social Workers additional knowledge of the culture of a member of the LGBTQ community would be very beneficial for not only the Social Worker but more importantly the client. King et al. (2007) argues that (as cited in Alessi, 2013, p. 224)” therapists and counselors still require specialized knowledge to understand how to support a range of sexual identities such as bisexuality; how sexuality is understood by families and how they respond; the difficulties encountered by sexual minority youth; therapist expertise and sensitivity regarding LGBTQ issues; and the effect of therapists’ sexual orientation on the treatment process.” LGBTQ community members endure unique difficulties as those of other cultures so it is very important for Social Worker and others in the helping profession to be culturally aware.
While is it almost impossible to know every single detail regarding a specific culture, having the aware of the differences between cultures is important. Some potential consequences due to a lack of cultural awareness would be possible loss of clients trust and cooperation, doing more harm than good to clients, possible loss of job and even license. Social Workers who are not culturally aware could unintentionally make a discriminatory or prejudice statement resulting in the client/Social Worker relationship being harmed.

A social worker would need to know about what your race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. I am an African American female. I was raised up in church. I am a Christian. I believe in the power of prayer. The foods that I grew up eating are collard greens, peas, pig tails, pig feet, corn bread, chicken, neckbones, and pork chop. I was talk to respect everyone no matter what their age are. My mother did not work. She received food stamps, TANF, and Medicaid to help provide for her family. My mother also received child support. My grandmother and uncle raised me because my mother was always going somewhere. Some consequences of a lack of cultural awareness on the social worker’s part are if you do not know about different religions, you might say something wrong without knowing it. A social worker may offend a client without knowing it by talking to them using a certain tone of voice. You must to set aside culture differences. You cannot be judgmental. You must to be empathetic.

Assignment: Culture in Groups
Much of the success of a group can be attributed to its composition. Group composition encompasses not only the group’s size and treatment focus but also characteristics of diversity such as gender, age, ability, and race and ethnicity. Imagine a group in which all members are of the same ethnicity except for the social worker. Or a group in which half are recent immigrants with limited language proficiency. Or one in which there is a truly diverse representation of cultures. How would each of these scenarios affect group dynamics and functioning? No matter the situation, a social worker must be poised to approach the group from a stance of cultural competence, humility, and sensitivity.
In this Assignment, you examine the influence of culture on group dynamics and how a social worker can intervene with cultural sensitivity.
To Prepare
· Review the Learning Resources on leadership and diversity within the context of a group setting.
· Reflect on the influence of culture on the dynamics of a group, and how you as a group leader would demonstrate cultural competence and sensitivity.
·

Working With Immigrants and Refugees The Case of LuisaLuisa i.docx
Working With Immigrants and Refugees: The Case of Luisa
Luisa is a 36-year-old, married, Latino female who immigrated to the United States from Colombia. She speaks only Spanish, so a translator must be used for communication. She came to the United States on a visa, but remained beyond the allotted time. While in the United States, she met and married Hugo, who was in the country with documentation. Once Luisa married Hugo, she became pregnant with a daughter, who is now 3 years old.
Luisa has a 10-year-old son named Juan in Colombia. Luisa has always had the desire to reunite with Juan and bring him to the United States to live with her. After her marriage and status change, she began the process of sponsoring Juan. She has been advised that in order for sponsorship to be achieved, she cannot receive welfare benefits because she needs to prove that she can support herself and her child.
Luisa came to the local welfare agency after she and her daughter entered the domestic violence shelter. She reported that Hugo had a history of violence, which was exacerbated when he drank alcohol. Hugo had been drinking more frequently, and the episodes of violence had increased in severity. The domestic violence program requires all residents to apply for any available benefits in order to remain enrolled in their services.
In one particular episode, Hugo almost fractured her orbital bones. She had extensive facial bruising and blood pooled in one eye. Luisa is quite fearful of Hugo. She is also financially dependent on him. She is reluctant to apply for benefits because she fears that this will compromise her ability to sponsor her son in Colombia. She is tearful and tells me that she cannot sacrifice her son’s opportunity to come to the United States.
Luisa is socially isolated because she has no family in the United States, and Hugo has restricted her ability to socialize and establish friendships. However, she is a practicing Catholic and does belong to a church that offers bilingual services.
Luisa began to discuss returning to Hugo because she felt that this was her only viable option. I advised her that under the new federal changes in immigration laws she might be allowed to apply for benefits and still sponsor her son because she is experiencing domestic violence. I explained that we would need to speak to an immigration lawyer to verify this, but it could possibly be an alternative to returning to Hugo.
Luisa reported that she had given money to lawyers in the past who had been unhelpful. She was suspicious of the law’s ability to protect her. Hugo had also threatened to report her to the authorities, stating that he would tell them she only married him to remain in the country. Although this is not true, she feared that he would do this, and she would never see her daughter again.
I offered to speak with someone at the domestic violence program and advocate that they allow her some time to research her options. I told Luisa that these were dif.
Understanding cultural differences is a very important aspect of d.docx
Understanding cultural differences is a very important aspect of delivering health care to various populations who have immigrated to the United States from various parts of the world. Collaborating with others to explore these differences allows you to gather varying viewpoints on these differences and how they might impact health care delivery.
Part I: Individual work

Cite 3 reputable references to support your assignment (e.g., trade or industry publications, government or agency websites, scholarly works, or other sources of similar quality).
PART2::: DISCUSSION QUESTION
Visit the
Child Welfare Information Gateway.
· What are the primary responsibilities of the health care industry in preventing child abuse and neglect, responding to child abuse and neglect, and supporting and preserving families?
· What circumstances should be present (or what considerations should be made) before removing a child from the guardianship of the parent?
Include sources/references to support your perspective.
Classmate1:
Summary There were many historical events and cultural practices in the Hmong culture. First of all it was so hard to appropriately treat Lia's epilepsy due to unfortunate circumstances. The family had their cultural beliefs and secondly there was a language barrier that stood in the way, that did not allow them to fully understand the diagnosis, and the severity if not treated. They believed that the seizures she was having made her special. They believed in traditional healing per their cultural beliefs, and this was was to call back her soul. They believed that tradi.
The Hernandez Family Juan Hernandez (27) and Elena Hernand.docx
The Hernandez Family
Juan Hernandez (27) and Elena Hernandez (25) are a married Latino couple who were referred to the New York City
Administration for Children Services (ACS) for abuse allegations. They have an 8-year-old son, Juan Jr., and a 6-
year-old son, Alberto. They were married 7 years ago, soon after Juan Jr. was born. Juan and Elena were both born in
Puerto Rico and raised in Queens, New York. They rent a two-bedroom apartment in an apartment complex where
they have lived for 7 years. Elena works as babysitter for a family that lives nearby, and Juan works at the airport in
the baggage department. Overall, their physical health is good, although Elena was diagnosed with diabetes this past
year and Juan has some lower back issues from loading and unloading bags. Both drink socially with friends and
family. Juan goes out with friends on the weekends sometimes to “blow off steam,” having six to eight beers, and
Elena drinks sparingly, only one or two drinks a month. Both deny any drug use at all. While they do not attend church
regularly, both identify as being Catholic and observe all religious holidays. Juan was arrested once as a juvenile for
petty theft, but that has been expunged from his file. Elena has no criminal history. They have a large support network
of friends and family who live nearby, and both Elena’s and Juan’s parents live within blocks of their apartment and
visit frequently. Juan and Elena both enjoy playing cards with family and friends on the weekends and taking the boys
out to the park and beach near their home.
ACS was contacted by the school social worker from Juan Jr.’s school after he described a punishment his parents
used when he talked back to them. He told her that his parents made him kneel for hours while holding two
encyclopedias (one in each hand) and that this was a punishment used on multiple occasions. The ACS worker deemed
this a credible concern and made a visit to the home. During the visit, the parents admitted to using this particular
form of punishment with their children when they misbehaved. In turn, the social worker from ACS mandated the
family to attend weekly family sessions and complete a parenting group at their local community mental health agency.
In her report sent to the mental health agency, the ACS social worker indicated that the form of punishment used by
the parents was deemed abusive and that the parents needed to learn new and appropriate parenting skills. She also
suggested they receive education about child development because she believed they had unrealistic expectations of
how children at their developmental stage should behave. This was a particular concern with Juan Sr., who repeatedly
stated that if the boys listened, stayed quiet, and followed all of their rules they would not be punished. There was a
sense from the ACS worker that Juan Sr. treated his sons, especially Juan Jr., as adults and not as children. This.

Lucille is a 68-year-old, Caucasian female. Her husband of 43 years passed away 4 years ago

An outsider might not know that I’m a lesbian and that I am married to a woman. Social Workers additional knowledge of the culture of a member of the LGBTQ community would be very beneficial for not only the Social Worker but more importantly the client. King et al. (2007) argues that (as cited in Alessi, 2013, p. 224)” therapists and counselors still require specialized knowledge to understand how to support a range of sexual identities such as bisexuality; how sexuality is understood by families and how they respond; the difficulties encountered by sexual minority youth; therapist expertise and sensitivity regarding LGBTQ issues; and the effect of therapists’ sexual orientation on the treatment process.” LGBTQ community members endure unique difficulties as those of other cultures so it is very important for Social Worker and others in the helping profession to be culturally aware.
While is it almost impossible to know every single detail regarding a specific culture, having the aware of the differences between cultures is important. Some potential consequences due to a lack of cultural awareness would be possible loss of clients trust and cooperation, doing more harm than good to clients, possible loss of job and even license. Social Workers who are not culturally aware could unintentionally make a discriminatory or prejudice statement resulting in the client/Social Worker relationship being harmed.

A social worker would need to know about what your race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. I am an African American female. I was raised up in church. I am a Christian. I believe in the power of prayer. The foods that I grew up eating are collard greens, peas, pig tails, pig feet, corn bread, chicken, neckbones, and pork chop. I was talk to respect everyone no matter what their age are. My mother did not work. She received food stamps, TANF, and Medicaid to help provide for her family. My mother also received child support. My grandmother and uncle raised me because my mother was always going somewhere. Some consequences of a lack of cultural awareness on the social worker’s part are if you do not know about different religions, you might say something wrong without knowing it. A social worker may offend a client without knowing it by talking to them using a certain tone of voice. You must to set aside culture differences. You cannot be judgmental. You must to be empathetic.

Assignment: Culture in Groups
Much of the success of a group can be attributed to its composition. Group composition encompasses not only the group’s size and treatment focus but also characteristics of diversity such as gender, age, ability, and race and ethnicity. Imagine a group in which all members are of the same ethnicity except for the social worker. Or a group in which half are recent immigrants with limited language proficiency. Or one in which there is a truly diverse representation of cultures. How would each of these scenarios affect group dynamics and functioning? No matter the situation, a social worker must be poised to approach the group from a stance of cultural competence, humility, and sensitivity.
In this Assignment, you examine the influence of culture on group dynamics and how a social worker can intervene with cultural sensitivity.
To Prepare
· Review the Learning Resources on leadership and diversity within the context of a group setting.
· Reflect on the influence of culture on the dynamics of a group, and how you as a group leader would demonstrate cultural competence and sensitivity.

Working With Immigrants and Refugees The Case of LuisaLuisa i.docx
Working With Immigrants and Refugees: The Case of Luisa
Luisa is a 36-year-old, married, Latino female who immigrated to the United States from Colombia. She speaks only Spanish, so a translator must be used for communication. She came to the United States on a visa, but remained beyond the allotted time. While in the United States, she met and married Hugo, who was in the country with documentation. Once Luisa married Hugo, she became pregnant with a daughter, who is now 3 years old.
Luisa has a 10-year-old son named Juan in Colombia. Luisa has always had the desire to reunite with Juan and bring him to the United States to live with her. After her marriage and status change, she began the process of sponsoring Juan. She has been advised that in order for sponsorship to be achieved, she cannot receive welfare benefits because she needs to prove that she can support herself and her child.
Luisa came to the local welfare agency after she and her daughter entered the domestic violence shelter. She reported that Hugo had a history of violence, which was exacerbated when he drank alcohol. Hugo had been drinking more frequently, and the episodes of violence had increased in severity. The domestic violence program requires all residents to apply for any available benefits in order to remain enrolled in their services.
In one particular episode, Hugo almost fractured her orbital bones. She had extensive facial bruising and blood pooled in one eye. Luisa is quite fearful of Hugo. She is also financially dependent on him. She is reluctant to apply for benefits because she fears that this will compromise her ability to sponsor her son in Colombia. She is tearful and tells me that she cannot sacrifice her son’s opportunity to come to the United States.
Luisa is socially isolated because she has no family in the United States, and Hugo has restricted her ability to socialize and establish friendships. However, she is a practicing Catholic and does belong to a church that offers bilingual services.
Luisa began to discuss returning to Hugo because she felt that this was her only viable option. I advised her that under the new federal changes in immigration laws she might be allowed to apply for benefits and still sponsor her son because she is experiencing domestic violence. I explained that we would need to speak to an immigration lawyer to verify this, but it could possibly be an alternative to returning to Hugo.
Luisa reported that she had given money to lawyers in the past who had been unhelpful. She was suspicious of the law’s ability to protect her. Hugo had also threatened to report her to the authorities, stating that he would tell them she only married him to remain in the country. Although this is not true, she feared that he would do this, and she would never see her daughter again.
I offered to speak with someone at the domestic violence program and advocate that they allow her some time to research her options. I told Luisa that these were dif.

The Hernandez Family Juan Hernandez (27) and Elena Hernand.docx
The Hernandez Family
Juan Hernandez (27) and Elena Hernandez (25) are a married Latino couple who were referred to the New York City
Administration for Children Services (ACS) for abuse allegations. They have an 8-year-old son, Juan Jr., and a 6-
year-old son, Alberto. They were married 7 years ago, soon after Juan Jr. was born. Juan and Elena were both born in
Puerto Rico and raised in Queens, New York. They rent a two-bedroom apartment in an apartment complex where
they have lived for 7 years. Elena works as babysitter for a family that lives nearby, and Juan works at the airport in
the baggage department. Overall, their physical health is good, although Elena was diagnosed with diabetes this past
year and Juan has some lower back issues from loading and unloading bags. Both drink socially with friends and
family. Juan goes out with friends on the weekends sometimes to “blow off steam,” having six to eight beers, and
Elena drinks sparingly, only one or two drinks a month. Both deny any drug use at all. While they do not attend church
regularly, both identify as being Catholic and observe all religious holidays. Juan was arrested once as a juvenile for
petty theft, but that has been expunged from his file. Elena has no criminal history. They have a large support network
of friends and family who live nearby, and both Elena’s and Juan’s parents live within blocks of their apartment and
visit frequently. Juan and Elena both enjoy playing cards with family and friends on the weekends and taking the boys
out to the park and beach near their home.
ACS was contacted by the school social worker from Juan Jr.’s school after he described a punishment his parents
used when he talked back to them. He told her that his parents made him kneel for hours while holding two
encyclopedias (one in each hand) and that this was a punishment used on multiple occasions. The ACS worker deemed
this a credible concern and made a visit to the home. During the visit, the parents admitted to using this particular
form of punishment with their children when they misbehaved. In turn, the social worker from ACS mandated the
family to attend weekly family sessions and complete a parenting group at their local community mental health agency.
In her report sent to the mental health agency, the ACS social worker indicated that the form of punishment used by
the parents was deemed abusive and that the parents needed to learn new and appropriate parenting skills. She also
suggested they receive education about child development because she believed they had unrealistic expectations of
how children at their developmental stage should behave. This was a particular concern with Juan Sr., who repeatedly
stated that if the boys listened, stayed quiet, and followed all of their rules they would not be punished. There was a
sense from the ACS worker that Juan Sr. treated his sons, especially Juan Jr., as adults and not as children. This.

Working With Families:
The Case of Carol and Joseph
Carol is a 23-year-old, heterosexual, Caucasian female and the
mother of a 1-year-old baby girl. She is currently unemployed,
having previously worked for a house cleaning company. The
baby is healthy and developmentally on target, and she and the
parents appear to be well bonded with one another. Carol lives in
a rented house with her husband, Joseph. Joseph is a 27-year-old,
heterosexual, Hispanic male. He was recently arrested at their
home for a drug deal, which he asserts was a setup. Both parents
were charged with child endangerment because weapons were
found in the child’s crib and drugs were found in the home. The
parents assert that the child never sleeps in the crib but in their
bed. As a result of the parents’ arrest, social services was notified,
and the child was temporarily placed in a kinship care arrangement
with the maternal grandmother, who resides nearby. As a
result of Joseph’s arrest, he was fired from the cleaning company
where he worked, and the family is now experiencing financial
difficulties.
After initial contact was made with the parents, a number of
concerns were noted and the family was recommended for additional
case management. Carol’s mother indicated that she had
concerns about Carol’s drinking habits and stated that Carol’s
father and grandfather were alcoholics. She and the father separated
when Carol was a baby, and Carol has had only limited
contact with him. There appears to be significant tension between
the grandmother and Carol and Joseph. I addressed the alcohol
issue with both parents, who denied there was a problem, but
shortly after the discussion, Carol was involved in a serious car
accident with the baby in the car. She was determined to have been
under the influence of alcohol. I advised Carol that she could not
have any unsupervised contact with her child until she completed
intensive inpatient substance abuse treatment. I made arrangements
for her placement, but after a week, she was discharged
for noncompliance with the rules. She was then referred to an
intensive outpatient program and began therapy there. Initially
her attendance was erratic because she had lost her license as a
result of the DUI. Eventually, however, she became engaged in the
program and began to address her issues. She acknowledged that
she had started using drugs at a very young age but said that she
had only begun drinking in the previous year or so. We discussed
the genetics of her family, and she said that she realized that she
had deteriorated rapidly since beginning to drink and knew that
she simply could not drink alcohol.
Joseph’s mother is deceased, and his father travels extensively
in his job and is not available as a support. Joseph was
very devoted to his mother and was devastated by her premature
death. We discussed the strengths that he and Carol demonstrated
in staying together and working out their p.

Working With Children and Adolescents: The Case of Dalia
Dalia is a 14-year-old, biracial female of African and Irish American descent who resides with her parents in a middle-class suburb. She is the youngest of three children and is currently the only child remaining in the home. Dalia’s parents have been married for 25 years. Dalia’s father works in the creative arts field with a nontraditional work schedule that has him gone overnight and sleeping late into the morning. Dalia’s mother is an executive who works long hours. Dalia was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia in early childhood and was hospitalized multiple times. At present, Dalia’s health is stable with the last serious episode occurring 2 years ago.
Dalia’s parents reported that until middle school, Dalia was an easygoing, good-natured youngster who enjoyed singing and participating in activities with her peers and family. Dalia denied any problems with drugs or alcohol but admitted to drinking with friends. Dalia described her family relationships as tense, stating, “My dad lets me do what I want” and “My mother is always trying to control me.” Dalia described her relationship with her older brother, who lives in another state, as “cool,” and her relationship with her older sister, a college sophomore, as “not cool.”
Dalia’s parents sought out counseling services for behavioral issues on the recommendation of her school. The issues included argumentative behavior with authority figures, physical altercations with peers, poor concentration in class, irritable mood, verbal combativeness when confronted, truancy, and highly sexualized behavior with male peers. At home, Dalia had become more argumentative and physically threatening. Her parents had discovered that she and her friends drank alcohol in their home. Dalia’s parents also reported that she was up most of the night and slept most of the day. They also reported that her mood was highly irritable and that she was extremely impulsive. She had no interest in getting involved with any extracurricular activities, stating that those things are “corny and boring.”
In the first meeting, Dalia and her mother both appeared agitated with each other and became argumentative when going through the intake information. Dalia quickly told me that she was not planning to talk about anything because this meeting was her parents’ idea. She stated, “I don’t have any problems, my parents do.” Soon into this first visit, Dalia blurted out that her mother was upset with her because she had just shown her a tattoo she had had done recently, purchased by using a fake ID. I acknowledged her news and asked if this was the way that she usually shared important information with her mother. Dalia shrugged and stated, “I don’t know. I figure I better her tell her now.
As a clinical social worker it is important to understand group .docx
As a clinical social worker it is important to understand group typology in order to choose the appropriate group method for a specific population or problem. Each type of group has its own approach and purpose. Two of the more frequently used types of groups are task groups and intervention groups.
For this Assignment, review the “Cortez Multimedia” case study, and identify a target behavior or issue that needs to be ameliorated, decreased, or increased. In a 2- to 4-page report, complete the following:
Choose either a treatment group or task group as your intervention for Paula Cortez.
Identify the model of treatment group (i.e., support, education, teams, or treatment conferences).
Using the typologies described in the Toseland & Rivas (2017) piece, describe the characteristics of your group. For instance, if you choose a treatment group that is a support group, what would be the purpose, leadership, focus, bond, composition, and communication?
Include the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of group as an intervention.

A Meeting of an Interdisciplinary Team
Paula has just been involuntarily hospitalized and placed on the psychiatric unit, for a minimum of 72 hours, for observation. Paula was deemed a suicidal risk after an assessment was completed by the social worker. The social worker observed that Paula appeared to be rapidly decompensating, potentially placing herself and her pregnancy at risk.
Paula just recently announced to the social worker that she is pregnant. She has been unsure whether she wanted to continue the pregnancy or terminate. Paula also told the social worker she is fearful of the father of the baby, and she is convinced he will try to hurt her. He has started to harass, stalk, and threaten her at all hours of the day. Paula began to exhibit increased paranoia and reported she started smoking again to calm her nerves. She also stated she stopped taking her psychiatric medications and has been skipping some of her
HIV
medications.
The following is an interdisciplinary team meeting being held in a conference room at the hospital. Several members of Paula’s team (HIV doctor, psychiatrist, social worker, and OB nurse) have gathered to discuss the precipitating factors to this hospitalization. The intent is to craft a plan of action to address Paula's noncompliance with her medications, increased paranoia, and the pregnancy.

Paula is a complicated patient, and she presents with a complicated situation. She is HIV positive, has Hepatitis C, and multiple foot ulcers that can be debilitating at times. Paula has always been inconsistent with her HIV meds—no matter how often I explain the need for consistent compliance in order to maintain her health. Paula has exhibited a lack of insight into her medical conditions and the need to follow instructions. Frankly, I was astonished an.
Ella is a 15-year old high-school freshman. She lives in a small sub.pdf
Ella is a 15-year old high-school freshman. She lives in a small suburban town with her younger
brother, Brody, and her parents, Minka and Bruce. In the past, Ella was always a straight-A
student. She loved school and had many close friends. She was actively involved in cheerleading
and drama club. Ella\'s parents report that over the last 6 months, Ella\'s grades have dropped
significantly. She decided that cheerleading is \"not cool\" and she does not want to be in the
drama club any more. She lost about 15 pounds and is often arguing with her brother and her
family. She does not like to socialize with her friends anymore and is always on the computer but
will not share what she is doing. Ella\'s parents recently reconciled after a 4-month separation.
Bruce was just discharged from a substance-use inpatient center where he was receiving
treatment for alcohol dependence. Her mother carries a diagnosis for anorexia nervosa but has
not displayed any symptoms for 5 years. Both of her parents have been actively engaged in
family counseling and individual therapy as well.
Based on this scenario, answer the following:
What additional information would be helpful for you to effectively form a diagnosis?
What theory of adolescent development would you use to gain an understanding of what is
happening with Ella? Remember, it is often necessary to consider and even apply more than one
theory when working with an adolescent.
How would you compare and contrast the development of Ella\'s issues from a cognitive, social,
and psychodynamic perspective?
Which theory best supports the behaviors that we are currently seeing with Ella?
Solution
The additional information that is required is whethere ella has gone for depression checkups or
has been detected with depression and if she has received therapies.
The theory is the ecological theory which tells about the interaction between indisvisual and the
environment.This is given by URIE BRONFENBRENNER.This theory tells about yow the
adolescents are influenced by family, peers, religion, schools, the media, community, and world
events.
Ella\'s case is the case of depression causes due to social anxiety as she doesnt want to meet
people and her family was seprated for 4 months. She is going through phases but it doesnt
include cognitive anxiety.
The theory of social cognitive learning is very important for her to understand the relations and
society..

SOCW 6070-week 4 discussion 1 Looking Through Different Lenses
I have provided the case study and all resources I work for hospice and my lens is meeting people where they are in their journey and trying to help the whole person and family
As a social worker, you bring your own lens—that is, your own set of assumptions, biases, beliefs, and interpretations—into your interactions with clients and the human services professionals with whom you collaborate. Human services organizations have their own cultures that influence their organizational lenses. An organizational lens reflects key assumptions about the individuals to whom the organization provides services. These assumptions influence the organization’s policies and procedures which, in turn, impact service delivery. For example, an organization that focuses on understanding the perspectives of the clients it serves may allow clients to provide feedback about their client experience through membership on advisory boards or boards of directors. The clients may have the power to make recommendations and decisions about the organization’s policies and procedures.
Understanding cultural lenses—your personal lens, as well as those of the organizations and other individuals with whom you work and interact—will enable you to better serve your clients.
Focus on the Paula Cortez case study
for this Discussion. In this case study, four professionals present their perspectives on the Paula Cortez case. These workers could view Paula’s case through a variety of cultural lenses, including socioeconomic, gender, ethnicity, and mental health. For this Discussion, you take the role of the social worker on the case and interpret Paula’s case using two of these lenses.
Post
how you, as a social worker, might interpret the needs of Paula Cortez, the client, through the two cultural lenses you selected.
Then, explain how, in general, you would incorporate multiple perspectives of a variety of stakeholders and/or human services professionals as you treat clients.
Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Diversity and Health Assessment
Patient: TJ, a 32-year-old pregnant lesbian being seen for an annual exam.
As future nurse practitioners, we will be providing care to patients with diverse backgrounds. Diversity means every one is unique and has individual differences in relation to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies (Queensborough Community College, 2018, para. 1). It is important for clinicians to understand that when caring for diverse patients, we must provide acceptance and respect so that a good ‘relationship’ can form, and optimal health care can be provided to that patient.
Week Two Patient- TJ

Section One:
Choose one of the three Case Studies focusing on a family in crisis. Each member of the family has unique issues that you must address. You must also determine the primary problems (this may include diagnostic impressions but not formal diagnoses), intervention, prevention, and education required to assist the family. In your project, do the following:
Identify the client and the presenting problem or symptoms. Briefly explain if anyone else is involved and how they contribute to the problem. Explain if anyone other than the “identified client” also could be identified as a client. If so, describe who and why.
Briefly describe any underlying problems or potential mental health diagnoses contributing to the primary problem that should be noted as you proceed with the client.
Briefly describe the presenting problem from the family’s perspective and what theoretical perspective you will use to assess, analyze, and develop a treatment plan for this case.
Identify the unique needs of each individual in the family.
Briefly describe the culture of the family, societal expectations, gender roles, and cultural norms. Briefly explain how each of these might contribute to the problem.
Briefly explain the child and adolescent culture and
at least one
general contributing factor to the identified issue and explain how this may or may not impact the family dynamics.
Describe
one
intervention you might use for the identified client that would address the presenting problem and any related psychosocial factors.
Justify your intervention with evidence-based research to support the use of the interventions you have identified.
Briefly describe
one
preventative technique that you might use to reduce the likelihood of further crisis or the perpetuation of the current crisis.
Section Two:
Reflect on your journal entries throughout the course and consider what you may have learned about yourself as a future clinician working with children, adolescents, and families. Explain any areas of strength you have identified by completing this course that will assist you in working with children, adolescents, and families.
Explain any areas of strength you identified as you worked on this course that will assist you in working with children, adolescents, and families.
Explain any areas of knowledge you might want to further develop to become more effective as a clinician working with children, adolescents, and families.

Discussion 1 Family AssessmentThe first step in helping a c.docx
Discussion 1: Family Assessment
The first step in helping a client is conducting a thorough assessment. The clinical social worker must explore multiple perspectives in order to develop a complete understanding of the situation. From this understanding, the social worker is able to recognize the client’s strengths and develop effective strategies for change.
For this Discussion, review the “Cortez Family” case history.
·
Post your description of how micro-, mezzo-, or macro-levels of practice aid social workers in assessing families. Assess Paula Cortez’s situation using all three of these levels of practice, and identify two strengths and/or solutions in each of these levels.

Case Study of Donna Little - Chapter 5
Donna Little is a 39-year-old Indian woman who has a history of substance misuse and has struggled with reunification with her adolescent children over the last 6 years. She was in residential school from the age of 6 to 16 years old. She has a history of domestic violence in her previous relationships. Donna was the youngest of four children in her family. Her parents, siblings, and herself were raised in the same small northern reservation. Both her parents had gone to residential school in the early 1950s, as did her grandfathers and grandmothers on both sides of her family system in the late 1910s. Donna was raised in an environment of violence and mayhem in her early childhood, which she has talked about quite extensively in counseling. Although her parents abused alcohol, she emphasizes repeatedly that her family was quite ceremonial and participated in the big drum feast and singing within the community. When Donna was 6, an Indian agent wearing a red, white, and black checkered jacket gave her candy and took her to the residential school. She never had the opportunity to say good-bye to her mom and dad, who died of tuberculosis while she was in the residential school. Donna reflects on her residential school experience with a despondent look. While in the residential school, she had only one friend she could count on. Her siblings, who were also at the school, were older and thus not allowed to play with her or sleep near her at the residence dorms. This created an incredible loneliness that Donna did not know how to fill, and often she would use alcohol to help numb that pain. She did not like to drink, but it helped her to stop her thinking badly about the past. Donna was a victim of sexual abuse in the residential school, primarily by the Roman Catholic priest who was in charge. The first time she was assaulted she was 7; the last assault occurred right before she ran away at age 16. When Donna had attempted to tell the head nun in charge of her dorm what was happening to her, she was beaten severely, to the point of unconsciousness. Donna recalls it was her friend, Sue, who nursed her back to health. Donna describes her life as difficult. She went home to her community, only to find a partner who turned out to be as violent toward her as her father was to her mother. She loves her children and cares for them deeply. She breast-fed her three children and still today can feel that connection to them. When her children were taken from her home after the last time her husband beat her, she spiraled out of control. Donna has had long periods of abstinence, has a home in her community that is well cared for, and now has a partner who loves her deeply. Donna is on welfare but hunts and fishes to help with sustenance. Donna and her ...

Assignment 1: Introduction to Research Proposals
Just because you thought of an interesting research question and have a desire to conduct research does not mean that your research will automatically be supported by faculty or funded by an organization. In order to gain stakeholder approval, you must submit a research proposal. Much like an outline of a paper or a treatment of a movie script, the research proposal contains several parts that begin with a research question and end with a literature review. For this Assignment, you compile a research proposal that includes a research problem, research question, and a literature review.
For this Assignment, choose between the case studies entitled "Social Work Research: Couple Counseling" and "Social Work Research: Using Multiple Assessments." Consider how you might select among the issues presented to formulate a research proposal.
Be sure to consult the outline in Chapter 14 the Yegidis et al. text for content suggestions for the sections of a research proposal. As you review existing research studies, notice how the authors identify a problem, focus the research question, and summarize relevant literature. These can provide you with a model for your research proposal.
Submit
a 5-page research proposal stating both a research problem and a broad research question (may be either qualitative or quantitative).
·
Use 8-10 of the most relevant literature resources to support the need for the study, define concepts, and define variables relevant to the question.
·
Include a literature review explaining what previous research has found in relation to your problem and question.
·
The literature review should also include a description of methods used by previous researchers.
·
Finally, be sure to explain how your proposed study addresses a gap in existing knowledge.
Social Work Research: Couples Counseling
Kathleen is a 37-year-old, Caucasian female of Irish descent, and her partner, Lisa, is a 38-year-old, Caucasian female with a Hungarian ethnic background. Kathleen reports that she has a long family history of substance use but has never used alcohol or drugs herself. She does not have a criminal history and utilized counseling services 10 years ago for family issues regarding her father’s alcohol use.

Working With Families:
The Case of Carol and Joseph
Carol is a 23-year-old, heterosexual, Caucasian female and the
mother of a 1-year-old baby girl. She is currently unemployed,
having previously worked for a house cleaning company. The
baby is healthy and developmentally on target, and she and the
parents appear to be well bonded with one another. Carol lives in
a rented house with her husband, Joseph. Joseph is a 27-year-old,
heterosexual, Hispanic male. He was recently arrested at their
home for a drug deal, which he asserts was a setup. Both parents
were charged with child endangerment because weapons were
found in the child’s crib and drugs were found in the home. The
parents assert that the child never sleeps in the crib but in their
bed. As a result of the parents’ arrest, social services was notified,
and the child was temporarily placed in a kinship care arrangement
with the maternal grandmother, who resides nearby. As a
result of Joseph’s arrest, he was fired from the cleaning company
where he worked, and the family is now experiencing financial
difficulties.
After initial contact was made with the parents, a number of
concerns were noted and the family was recommended for additional
case management. Carol’s mother indicated that she had
concerns about Carol’s drinking habits and stated that Carol’s
father and grandfather were alcoholics. She and the father separated
when Carol was a baby, and Carol has had only limited
contact with him. There appears to be significant tension between
the grandmother and Carol and Joseph. I addressed the alcohol
issue with both parents, who denied there was a problem, but
shortly after the discussion, Carol was involved in a serious car
accident with the baby in the car. She was determined to have been
under the influence of alcohol. I advised Carol that she could not
have any unsupervised contact with her child until she completed
intensive inpatient substance abuse treatment. I made arrangements
for her placement, but after a week, she was discharged
for noncompliance with the rules. She was then referred to an
intensive outpatient program and began therapy there. Initially
her attendance was erratic because she had lost her license as a
result of the DUI. Eventually, however, she became engaged in the
program and began to address her issues. She acknowledged that
she had started using drugs at a very young age but said that she
had only begun drinking in the previous year or so. We discussed
the genetics of her family, and she said that she realized that she
had deteriorated rapidly since beginning to drink and knew that
she simply could not drink alcohol.
Joseph’s mother is deceased, and his father travels extensively
in his job and is not available as a support. Joseph was
very devoted to his mother and was devastated by her premature
death. We discussed the strengths that he and Carol demonstrated
in staying together and working out their p.

Working With Children and Adolescents: The Case of Dalia
Dalia is a 14-year-old, biracial female of African and Irish American descent who resides with her parents in a middle-class suburb. She is the youngest of three children and is currently the only child remaining in the home. Dalia’s parents have been married for 25 years. Dalia’s father works in the creative arts field with a nontraditional work schedule that has him gone overnight and sleeping late into the morning. Dalia’s mother is an executive who works long hours. Dalia was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia in early childhood and was hospitalized multiple times. At present, Dalia’s health is stable with the last serious episode occurring 2 years ago.
Dalia’s parents reported that until middle school, Dalia was an easygoing, good-natured youngster who enjoyed singing and participating in activities with her peers and family. Dalia denied any problems with drugs or alcohol but admitted to drinking with friends. Dalia described her family relationships as tense, stating, “My dad lets me do what I want” and “My mother is always trying to control me.” Dalia described her relationship with her older brother, who lives in another state, as “cool,” and her relationship with her older sister, a college sophomore, as “not cool.”
Dalia’s parents sought out counseling services for behavioral issues on the recommendation of her school. The issues included argumentative behavior with authority figures, physical altercations with peers, poor concentration in class, irritable mood, verbal combativeness when confronted, truancy, and highly sexualized behavior with male peers. At home, Dalia had become more argumentative and physically threatening. Her parents had discovered that she and her friends drank alcohol in their home. Dalia’s parents also reported that she was up most of the night and slept most of the day. They also reported that her mood was highly irritable and that she was extremely impulsive. She had no interest in getting involved with any extracurricular activities, stating that those things are “corny and boring.”
In the first meeting, Dalia and her mother both appeared agitated with each other and became argumentative when going through the intake information. Dalia quickly told me that she was not planning to talk about anything because this meeting was her parents’ idea. She stated, “I don’t have any problems, my parents do.” Soon into this first visit, Dalia blurted out that her mother was upset with her because she had just shown her a tattoo she had had done recently, purchased by using a fake ID. I acknowledged her news and asked if this was the way that she usually shared important information with her mother. Dalia shrugged and stated, “I don’t know. I figure I better her tell her now.

A Meeting of an Interdisciplinary Team
Paula has just been involuntarily hospitalized and placed on the psychiatric unit, for a minimum of 72 hours, for observation. Paula was deemed a suicidal risk after an assessment was completed by the social worker. The social worker observed that Paula appeared to be rapidly decompensating, potentially placing herself and her pregnancy at risk.
Paula just recently announced to the social worker that she is pregnant. She has been unsure whether she wanted to continue the pregnancy or terminate. Paula also told the social worker she is fearful of the father of the baby, and she is convinced he will try to hurt her. He has started to harass, stalk, and threaten her at all hours of the day. Paula began to exhibit increased paranoia and reported she started smoking again to calm her nerves. She also stated she stopped taking her psychiatric medications and has been skipping some of her
HIV
medications.
The following is an interdisciplinary team meeting being held in a conference room at the hospital. Several members of Paula’s team (HIV doctor, psychiatrist, social worker, and OB nurse) have gathered to discuss the precipitating factors to this hospitalization. The intent is to craft a plan of action to address Paula's noncompliance with her medications, increased paranoia, and the pregnancy.

Ella is a 15-year old high-school freshman. She lives in a small sub.pdf
Ella is a 15-year old high-school freshman. She lives in a small suburban town with her younger
brother, Brody, and her parents, Minka and Bruce. In the past, Ella was always a straight-A
student. She loved school and had many close friends. She was actively involved in cheerleading
and drama club. Ella\'s parents report that over the last 6 months, Ella\'s grades have dropped
significantly. She decided that cheerleading is \"not cool\" and she does not want to be in the
drama club any more. She lost about 15 pounds and is often arguing with her brother and her
family. She does not like to socialize with her friends anymore and is always on the computer but
will not share what she is doing. Ella\'s parents recently reconciled after a 4-month separation.
Bruce was just discharged from a substance-use inpatient center where he was receiving
treatment for alcohol dependence. Her mother carries a diagnosis for anorexia nervosa but has
not displayed any symptoms for 5 years. Both of her parents have been actively engaged in
family counseling and individual therapy as well.
Based on this scenario, answer the following:
What additional information would be helpful for you to effectively form a diagnosis?
What theory of adolescent development would you use to gain an understanding of what is
happening with Ella? Remember, it is often necessary to consider and even apply more than one
theory when working with an adolescent.
How would you compare and contrast the development of Ella\'s issues from a cognitive, social,
and psychodynamic perspective?
Which theory best supports the behaviors that we are currently seeing with Ella?
Solution
The additional information that is required is whethere ella has gone for depression checkups or
has been detected with depression and if she has received therapies.
The theory is the ecological theory which tells about the interaction between indisvisual and the
environment.This is given by URIE BRONFENBRENNER.This theory tells about yow the
adolescents are influenced by family, peers, religion, schools, the media, community, and world
events.
Ella\'s case is the case of depression causes due to social anxiety as she doesnt want to meet
people and her family was seprated for 4 months. She is going through phases but it doesnt
include cognitive anxiety.
The theory of social cognitive learning is very important for her to understand the relations and
society..

The ethical and legal issues that may impact this case is discussed as well as steps that could be taken in order how to ensure that ethical standards will be applied and considered appropriately in this child’s treatment plan and preliminary DSM-5 diagnosis. Further, the results of Alexandria’s Ecomap assessment will demonstrate how her family, community, cultural, and societal contexts contribute to her barriers and her supports.
Background Sketch for Case: Alexandria MartinezIdentification of the Problem
Alexandria Martinez is a 15-year-old sophomore at Farmington High School. Her parents divorced and have joint custody of Alexandria and her sister, but she only sees her mother every third weekend each month. She was referred to counseling because her chemistry teacher has noticed that her grades were declining, and her attitude has been extremely negative which has caused her to be involved in several altercations with other students. After speaking to the father, it was also reported that Alexandria has been having trouble at home. She has missed her curfew by 30 mins or more on several occasions and she has become moody, disrespectful and her father noticed that she is not sleeping through the night.Individual and Background Information.

SOCW 6070-week 4 discussion 1 Looking Through Different Lenses
I have provided the case study and all resources I work for hospice and my lens is meeting people where they are in their journey and trying to help the whole person and family
As a social worker, you bring your own lens—that is, your own set of assumptions, biases, beliefs, and interpretations—into your interactions with clients and the human services professionals with whom you collaborate. Human services organizations have their own cultures that influence their organizational lenses. An organizational lens reflects key assumptions about the individuals to whom the organization provides services. These assumptions influence the organization’s policies and procedures which, in turn, impact service delivery. For example, an organization that focuses on understanding the perspectives of the clients it serves may allow clients to provide feedback about their client experience through membership on advisory boards or boards of directors. The clients may have the power to make recommendations and decisions about the organization’s policies and procedures.
Understanding cultural lenses—your personal lens, as well as those of the organizations and other individuals with whom you work and interact—will enable you to better serve your clients.
Focus on the Paula Cortez case study
for this Discussion. In this case study, four professionals present their perspectives on the Paula Cortez case. These workers could view Paula’s case through a variety of cultural lenses, including socioeconomic, gender, ethnicity, and mental health. For this Discussion, you take the role of the social worker on the case and interpret Paula’s case using two of these lenses.
Post
how you, as a social worker, might interpret the needs of Paula Cortez, the client, through the two cultural lenses you selected.
Then, explain how, in general, you would incorporate multiple perspectives of a variety of stakeholders and/or human services professionals as you treat clients.
Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Week 2 Main Discussion
Diversity and Health Assessment
Patient: TJ, a 32-year-old pregnant lesbian being seen for an annual exam.
As future nurse practitioners, we will be providing care to patients with diverse backgrounds. Diversity means every one is unique and has individual differences in relation to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies (Queensborough Community College, 2018, para. 1). It is important for clinicians to understand that when caring for diverse patients, we must provide acceptance and respect so that a good ‘relationship’ can form, and optimal health care can be provided to that patient.

Section One:
Choose one of the three Case Studies focusing on a family in crisis. Each member of the family has unique issues that you must address. You must also determine the primary problems (this may include diagnostic impressions but not formal diagnoses), intervention, prevention, and education required to assist the family. In your project, do the following:
Identify the client and the presenting problem or symptoms. Briefly explain if anyone else is involved and how they contribute to the problem. Explain if anyone other than the “identified client” also could be identified as a client. If so, describe who and why.
Briefly describe any underlying problems or potential mental health diagnoses contributing to the primary problem that should be noted as you proceed with the client.
Briefly describe the presenting problem from the family’s perspective and what theoretical perspective you will use to assess, analyze, and develop a treatment plan for this case.
Identify the unique needs of each individual in the family.
Briefly describe the culture of the family, societal expectations, gender roles, and cultural norms. Briefly explain how each of these might contribute to the problem.
Briefly explain the child and adolescent culture and
at least one
general contributing factor to the identified issue and explain how this may or may not impact the family dynamics.
Describe
one
intervention you might use for the identified client that would address the presenting problem and any related psychosocial factors.
Justify your intervention with evidence-based research to support the use of the interventions you have identified.
Briefly describe
one
preventative technique that you might use to reduce the likelihood of further crisis or the perpetuation of the current crisis.
Section Two:
Reflect on your journal entries throughout the course and consider what you may have learned about yourself as a future clinician working with children, adolescents, and families. Explain any areas of strength you have identified by completing this course that will assist you in working with children, adolescents, and families.
Explain any areas of strength you identified as you worked on this course that will assist you in working with children, adolescents, and families.
Explain any areas of knowledge you might want to further develop to become more effective as a clinician working with children, adolescents, and families.

Discussion 1 Family AssessmentThe first step in helping a c.docx
Discussion 1: Family Assessment
The first step in helping a client is conducting a thorough assessment. The clinical social worker must explore multiple perspectives in order to develop a complete understanding of the situation. From this understanding, the social worker is able to recognize the client’s strengths and develop effective strategies for change.
For this Discussion, review the “Cortez Family” case history.
·
Post your description of how micro-, mezzo-, or macro-levels of practice aid social workers in assessing families. Assess Paula Cortez’s situation using all three of these levels of practice, and identify two strengths and/or solutions in each of these levels.
·
Describe the value in strength-based solutions.

Discussion 2: Circumplex Model
Understanding the level of cohesion of a family system is important in order to determine an effective treatment plan. Olson (2000) developed the Circumplex Model, which has been used in the areas of marital therapy and with families dealing with terminal illness.
For this Discussion, you again draw on the “Cortez Family” case history.
·
Post your description of the Circumplex Model of Marital and Family Systems and how it serves as a framework to assess family systems.
·
Apply this framework in assessing the Cortez family. Use the three dimensions (cohesion, flexibility, and communication) of this model to assess and analyze. Describe how assessing these dimensions assists the social worker in treatment planning.

As a clinical social worker it is important to understand group .docx
As a clinical social worker it is important to understand group typology in order to choose the appropriate group method for a specific population or problem. Each type of group has its own approach and purpose. Two of the more frequently used types of groups are task groups and intervention groups.
For this Assignment, review the “Cortez Multimedia” case study, and identify a target behavior or issue that needs to be ameliorated, decreased, or increased. In a 2- to 4-page report, complete the following:
Choose either a treatment group or task group as your intervention for Paula Cortez.
Identify the model of treatment group (i.e., support, education, teams, or treatment conferences).
Using the typologies described in the Toseland & Rivas (2017) piece, describe the characteristics of your group. For instance, if you choose a treatment group that is a support group, what would be the purpose, leadership, focus, bond, composition, and communication?
Include the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of group as an intervention.
By Day 7

Case Study of Donna Little - Chapter 5
Donna Little is a 39-year-old Indian woman who has a history of substance misuse and has struggled with reunification with her adolescent children over the last 6 years. She was in residential school from the age of 6 to 16 years old. She has a history of domestic violence in her previous relationships. Donna was the youngest of four children in her family. Her parents, siblings, and herself were raised in the same small northern reservation. Both her parents had gone to residential school in the early 1950s, as did her grandfathers and grandmothers on both sides of her family system in the late 1910s. Donna was raised in an environment of violence and mayhem in her early childhood, which she has talked about quite extensively in counseling. Although her parents abused alcohol, she emphasizes repeatedly that her family was quite ceremonial and participated in the big drum feast and singing within the community. When Donna was 6, an Indian agent wearing a red, white, and black checkered jacket gave her candy and took her to the residential school. She never had the opportunity to say good-bye to her mom and dad, who died of tuberculosis while she was in the residential school. Donna reflects on her residential school experience with a despondent look. While in the residential school, she had only one friend she could count on. Her siblings, who were also at the school, were older and thus not allowed to play with her or sleep near her at the residence dorms. This created an incredible loneliness that Donna did not know how to fill, and often she would use alcohol to help numb that pain. She did not like to drink, but it helped her to stop her thinking badly about the past. Donna was a victim of sexual abuse in the residential school, primarily by the Roman Catholic priest who was in charge. The first time she was assaulted she was 7; the last assault occurred right before she ran away at age 16. When Donna had attempted to tell the head nun in charge of her dorm what was happening to her, she was beaten severely, to the point of unconsciousness. Donna recalls it was her friend, Sue, who nursed her back to health. Donna describes her life as difficult. She went home to her community, only to find a partner who turned out to be as violent toward her as her father was to her mother. She loves her children and cares for them deeply. She breast-fed her three children and still today can feel that connection to them. When her children were taken from her home after the last time her husband beat her, she spiraled out of control. Donna has had long periods of abstinence, has a home in her community that is well cared for, and now has a partner who loves her deeply. Donna is on welfare but hunts and fishes to help with sustenance. Donna and her ...

Assignment 1: Introduction to Research Proposals
Just because you thought of an interesting research question and have a desire to conduct research does not mean that your research will automatically be supported by faculty or funded by an organization. In order to gain stakeholder approval, you must submit a research proposal. Much like an outline of a paper or a treatment of a movie script, the research proposal contains several parts that begin with a research question and end with a literature review. For this Assignment, you compile a research proposal that includes a research problem, research question, and a literature review.
For this Assignment, choose between the case studies entitled "Social Work Research: Couple Counseling" and "Social Work Research: Using Multiple Assessments." Consider how you might select among the issues presented to formulate a research proposal.
Be sure to consult the outline in Chapter 14 the Yegidis et al. text for content suggestions for the sections of a research proposal. As you review existing research studies, notice how the authors identify a problem, focus the research question, and summarize relevant literature. These can provide you with a model for your research proposal.
Submit
a 5-page research proposal stating both a research problem and a broad research question (may be either qualitative or quantitative).
·
Use 8-10 of the most relevant literature resources to support the need for the study, define concepts, and define variables relevant to the question.
·
Include a literature review explaining what previous research has found in relation to your problem and question.
·
The literature review should also include a description of methods used by previous researchers.
·
Finally, be sure to explain how your proposed study addresses a gap in existing knowledge.

1.Being sure that one has the resources necessary to accomplish the goals is an essential step. Preparation is very important. Without all of the necessary resources one cannot succeed. I know people that are very organized with their life and the time that they have every day. The values and mission are clear and their goals and objectives align with their life course. Each hour of the day is focused on using their short-term goals to reach their long-term goal that is consistent with their mission and values. The key here is that they took the time to do the work to explore what it is they really wanted in life and what was important in all of their roles to arrive at this plan. How many of us have a well-crafted life plan?

1.1Arguments, Premises, and Conclusions
How Logical Are You?
· After a momentary absence, you return to your table in the library only to find your smartphone is missing. It was there just minutes earlier. You suspect the student sitting next to you took it. After all, she has a guilty look. Also, there is a bulge in her backpack about the size of your phone, and one of the pouches has a loose strap. Then you hear a “ring” come from the backpack—and it’s the same ringtone that you use on your phone. Which of these pieces of evidence best supports your suspicion?
Answer
The best evidence is undoubtedly the “ring” you hear coming from her backpack, which is the same ringtone as the one on your phone. The weakest evidence is probably the “guilty look.” After all, what, exactly, is a guilty look? The bulge in the backpack and the loose strap are of medium value. The loose strap supports the hypothesis that something was quickly inserted into the backpack. In this section of the chapter you will learn that evidentiary statements form the premises of arguments.
Logic may be defined as the organized body of knowledge, or science, that evaluates arguments. All of us encounter arguments in our day-to-day experience. We read them in books and newspapers, hear them on television, and formulate them when communicating with friends and associates. The aim of logic is to develop a system of methods and principles that we may use as criteria for evaluating the arguments of others and as guides in constructing arguments of our own. Among the benefits to be expected from the study of logic is an increase in confidence that we are making sense when we criticize the arguments of others and when we advance arguments of our own.
An argument, in its simplest form, is a group of statements, one or more of which (the premises) are claimed to provide support for, or reasons to believe, one of the others (the conclusion). Every argument may be placed in either of two basic groups: those in which the premises really do support the conclusion and those in which they do not, even though they are claimed to. The former are said to be good arguments (at least to that extent), the latter bad arguments. The purpose of logic, as the science that evaluates arguments, is thus to develop methods and techniques that allow us to distinguish good arguments from bad.
As is apparent from the given definition, the term argument has a very specific meaning in logic. It does not mean, for example, a mere verbal fight, as one might have with one’s parent, spouse, or friend. Let us examine the features of this definition in greater detail. First of all, an argument is a group of statements. A statement is a sentence that is either true or false—in other words, typically a declarative sentence or a sentence component that could stand as a declarative sentence. The following sentences are statements:
Chocolate truffles are loaded with calories.
Melatonin helps relieve jet lag.
Political can.

1.0. Introduction Effective project management is consid.docx
1.0. Introduction
Effective project management is considered an essential part of a company’s way to
success, as, to put it simply, its main purpose is to predict any risk that might affect a
project of a company and prepare the latter for it (Lock, 2013).
Since 2010, Netflix, world-leading subscription video on-demand streaming service,
has been producing its own content, such as series and full-length movies (Netflix,
2019). Such Original series or films could be considered as separate projects, which
are now the key to attracting new audiences and keeping existing Netflix subscribers
(Schomer, 2018). Therefore, it is critical for Netflix to make sure that all these projects
are carefully planned and are executed in a way as smooth as possible.
The aim of this report is to analyse the project management process of “Bird Box”, the
most successful Netflix movie project by far, thus gaining useful transferable
knowledge and providing recommendations for future similar projects.
1.1. Project Background
“Bird Box” is a 2018 movie produced by Netflix, which makes the film a so-called Netflix
Original, meaning it is available only on Netflix (Netflix, 2019; Netflix Media Center,
2019).
“Bird Box” is a sci-fi psychological drama thriller, which tells a story of a woman and
two children trying to survive in an apocalyptic world (Netflix, 2019). It premiered on
21st December 2018 (Netflix Media Center, 2019).
The movie is based on the eponymous novel by Josh Malerman, published in 2014
(Slauer, 2018).
Leading role in the film is performed by Sandra Bullock with the director being Susanne
Bier – both Academy Awards® winners (Netflix Media Center, 2019).
“Bird Box” became the most successful Netflix Original movie so far. Although it was
not highly appraised by critics, it generated significant amount of conversations and
feedback in social media and is the most watched Netflix Original movie at the moment
of writing (Lee, 2019).

2.0. Project Management Landscape
According to Wysocki (2014), “a project is a sequence of unique, complex, and
connected activities that have one goal or purpose and that must be completed by a
specific time, within budget, and according to specification”. Following from this
definition, every project should have a goal and a solution.
Regarding goal, Netflix creates its own movies and series as a part of its vertical
integration strategy. Indeed, replacing licensed content with its own not only eliminates
the cost Netflix would otherwise have spent on licensing but also helps make the
service unique, thus keeping existing subscribers and attracting new ones (Ball, 2013).
Therefore, it could be stated that the goal of “Bird Box” is to support Netflix’s “worth-
to-watch, unique content” strategy and encourage more subscriptions to the service
(Nicolaou, 2019).
As for solution, firstly, the movie is based on a novel, which has alr.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

How to Break the cycle of negative Thoughts
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

1. Social Work Research Couples CounselingKathleen is a 37-year.docx
- 1. 1. Social Work Research: Couples Counseling Kathleen is a 37-year-old, Caucasian female of Irish descent, and her partner, Lisa, is a 38-year-old, Caucasian female with a Hungarian ethnic background. Kathleen reports that she has a long family history of substance use but has never used alcohol or drugs herself. She does not have a criminal history and utilized counseling services 10 years ago for family issues regarding her father’s alcohol use. Kathleen works as a nurse in a local hospital on the cardiac floor where she has been employed for 8 years. Lisa reports experimenting with substances during college. She currently drinks wine on occasion. Lisa does not have a criminal history. Lisa has had many jobs and stated that she was unable to find her niche until recently when she took out a loan and opened a small Hungarian restaurant serving her grandmother’s recipes. Her restaurant has been open 1 year. Lisa reports that while she enjoys the work and has found her niche, she must work constantly to be successful, and she is worried the business might fail. Kathleen and Lisa have been together for over 15 years. They have a close group of friends and see their families on major holidays. They came to outpatient counseling at a nonprofit agency to examine the possibility of starting a family together. They were both feeling ambivalent about it, and it had been the source of more than a few arguments, so they decided to come to counseling to address their concerns in a more productive way. They said they chose this agency because it was recognized as lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) friendly. They asked about my sexual orientation and my history because they were concerned about my level of experience working with the issues they were presenting.
- 2. I thanked Kathleen and Lisa for sharing this concern, and I informed them of various programs I had worked in within the agency, including supportive services for LGBT youth in schools and in the community. I also shared our agency philosophy and mission, which includes outcome measures and engaging clients in feedback to evaluate practice. I explained the tools we used to measure outcomes. The first form measures how each of them are feeling with regard to their life and current circumstances. There are four different scales to measure aspects of their lives, such as social, family, emotional health, etc. I also provided the chart on which I score the scales and track progress. I explained that the purpose was to see where they began to demonstrate progress with the work we were doing. The second form measures how well I am providing treatment. I demonstrated the four scales that measure if the client feels heard and understood and if we addressed in session what they wanted to. I explained that this should address their concern about my ability to assist them. Because we would be evaluating both how they felt and how the sessions were going each week, we could make adjustments on treatment and delivery style. I informed Kathleen and Lisa that both measurement tools were obtained from the National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices. We use these tools in the agency to assess the experience of the client and whether the goals of treatment are being achieved. Lisa questioned how the information would be used, and I told them that this information would be shared with them weekly and would only be in their chart. Lisa and Kathleen came every week for 15 weeks. In that time, we charted each week using both tools. The chart demonstrated significant progress and then began to level off. During that
- 3. time, Kathleen and Lisa worked on effective communication strategies to discuss the presenting issues. The arguments had become less frequent and shorter in duration as both Kathleen and Lisa learned to appreciate the other’s perspective. They expressed that some members of their families of origin were not supportive of their sexual orientation, and this was the main challenge for them as a couple. They were able to identify their strengths and not let family or societal opinions inform how they wanted to live. They were able to see that this was their decision. During treatment there were times when the measurement tool indicated that they felt we were not connecting on certain issues. As I could pinpoint when that was and the topic we discussed, we were able to address it in the next session to clarify and get back on track. 2. Social Work Research: Using Multiple Assessments Lucille is a 68-year-old, Caucasian female. Her husband of 43 years passed away 4 years ago after a long and debilitating illness during which Lucille was his primary caregiver. During their marriage, he worked at the sanitation department, and she was a homemaker. She continues to live in the house where she and her husband raised their three children. Lucille receives a limited income of approximately $2,100/month from her husband’s retirement pension and Social Security; she owns her home and has no major outstanding debts. She receives Medicare to cover her major medical expenses and a small supplemental health plan to cover any outstanding medical costs. Her physical health is good, and she has not had any major illnesses or surgeries, although she has not had a complete physical in over two years. Her favorite hobbies are gardening and cooking. Lucille has two sons and one daughter,
- 4. each living away from home with their own families. Lucille’s daughter and one son reside in the local area; her other son lives in another state. Lucille’s major concern is about her daughter, Alice (33), who has battled substance abuse and alcoholism since adolescence. At present, Alice is not employed and has had several encounters with law enforcement for drug possession and intent to sell illegal substances. Alice has admitted that she has used cocaine as well as other substances in the past. She has made several attempts to go into drug rehabilitation, but she has never completed a program. Her siblings have essentially disowned her. Alice has three children, Michael (6), Rachael (4), and Randy (18 months), who was recently diagnosed with fetal alcohol effects (FAE). Lucille is not certain who is the father of her grandchildren; it is a subject Alice refuses to discuss. Alice has repeatedly left her children alone for several hours in their tiny apartment, and once she was gone for several days. Child Welfare has interceded, but Alice continues to have custody of her children. Whenever Lucille visits her daughter and grandchildren, the living conditions are filthy, there is little food in the house, and there is talk of constant “visitors” to the house well into the night. Because of Alice’s instability, Lucille has taken physical custody of her grandchildren without any redress from Alice. Lucille’s family members are not aware of the stress Lucille is feeling about possibly having to spend the rest of her life raising her grandchildren, including one with a disability. This causes Lucille to often feel “down in the dumps,” resulting in overeating because, as she stated, “comfort food makes me feel better.” Within 2 months, she gained 15 pounds. Lucille heard about a counseling program at the local community center for grandparents raising grandchildren. The program provides support, group meetings, parenting classes, individual counseling sessions with a social worker, and
- 5. referrals for other supporting services. At first, Lucille was skeptical about attending the program. She was embarrassed to tell others about her family circumstances; she was particularly fearful that others would blame her for her daughter’s lifestyle and wonder how she could now care for her grandchildren if she could not raise her daughter properly. She already blamed herself for her daughter’s actions, which made her bouts of depression more frequent and difficult to overcome. Eventually, Lucille came to the community center after some encouragement from her neighbor. Lucille is quite concerned about the fate of her daughter. Fearing the worst, she is constantly worried she will get a late night phone call that her daughter was found dead somewhere from a drug overdose or something related to her drug life. She once believed caring for her grandchildren was a temporary arrangement but more recently believes this will become permanent. Although Lucille loves her grandchildren, she is afraid that she will have to raise them alone and is angry with her daughter for putting her in this position. She does not know if she can do it at her age. Her youngest grandchild will need many resources over the years, and she does not even know where to begin to access them. She admits feeling overwhelmed and depressed frequently, but she does not have a wide circle of family or friends to talk to about her concerns. She spoke to her church minister once about her family circumstances but did not feel she got much out of it. “He just did not seem to understand what I was talking about,” she stated, “so I never went back.” She stated she was feeling unable to manage her family needs and that “I just want to get control of the ship again.” After a thorough psychological assessment, the agency psychiatrist determined that medication was not necessary for her bouts of depression. After our initial talk, I administered a series of baseline measures on her emotional and physical functioning, specifically the Center for Epidemiologic Studies—
- 6. Depressed Mood Scale (CES-D), Family Resource Scale, Family Support Scale, and the Medical Outcome Survey, SF-12v2. Our plan is to administer these measures at 3-month intervals for 1 year to assess her emotional functioning and social progress. Using a strengths-based approach to problem solving, I collaborated with Lucille on a biweekly basis to define personal goals that focused on helping her address feelings of depression and broaden her support network for managing family challenges. She attended monthly support group meetings with other grandparents who discussed their challenges and celebrated their triumphs. Lucille never missed a meeting. I made two home visits per month to observe Lucille in her home environment. Our individual sessions included assessing strengths, defining/redefining needs, targeting problems and goals, identifying resources to address needs, and monitoring goal progress. A nutritionist also conducted two home visits to help her with food options for herself and her grandchildren. Lucille is an excellent cook, and the nutritionist showed her how to reduce calories without sacrificing taste. Within four weeks, Lucille was able to make small changes in her everyday life. She began walking her grandchildren to the local park for playtime, preparing her front yard for spring flowers, and preparing Sunday dinners to reengage her family. She also visited her family physician and learned that she has high blood pressure, which can be controlled with proper diet and exercise, and she has asked her son and daughter-in-law for respite once per month so she can have some “down time.” After 6 months, I facilitated a family group conference with Lucille and her sons and their wives. The focus of the meeting was to plan how the family would support Lucille as the primary caregiver for her grandchildren and to define the role other family members would play in assisting in raising Alice’s children. There was family agreement that it was in the children’s best interest for Lucille to seek legal counsel so she could establish temporary custody for her grandchildren, as well
- 7. as learn the options for a more permanent relationship, such as adoption. She also applied for disability benefits for her youngest grandchild. Later, the family would meet to conduct permanency planning for the grandchildren. After 9 months, Lucille’s emotional health improved, and we decided to suspend individual counseling, but she continues to participate in the weekly support group meetings where she can have her blood pressure checked by the program nurse. After 12 months in the program, Lucille has a positive perception of her support network, including her family; familiarity with community resources and how to access them; a positive emotional state; and she has lost 10 pounds and her blood pressure is normal. Lucille has even initiated a grandparent mentoring service for new custodial grandparents who want to partner with a “seasoned” grandparent caregiver. Last week, Lucille found out her daughter Alice, who she has not seen in nearly a year, is 6 months pregnant.
