It found the participant enjoys activities like running, hiking, and music but identified being at the facility and inability to leave as barriers. The participant displayed some confusion about why he was at the facility and made comments implying past involvement with marijuana distribution. He expressed a desire to live independently with only once daily staff checks.
This document discusses social work research and the scientific method. It defines social work research as the systematic investigation of problems in the field of social work. The purpose of social work research is to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and treatments and to build theory to help social workers address problems. Social research and social work research are similar in their goal of promoting human welfare, but social work research specifically aims to gain knowledge to control or change human behavior. The scientific method is characterized by systematic observation, classification, and interpretation of data to accumulate reliable knowledge. It aims to discover facts objectively through logical reasoning and is free from any particular subject matter.
This document provides an overview of social work models and approaches. It discusses several models for working with individuals, groups, and communities, including direct provision, intercession-mediation, mobilizing client resources, and crisis intervention. It also covers the problem-solving model and importance of relationships in casework. The key elements of the problem-solving process are identifying the problem, understanding the client's perspective, exploring solutions, and making decisions to address the problem.
This document provides a master syllabus for a graduate course titled "Advanced Techniques of Psychotherapy". The 3-credit, 45-hour course focuses on advancing students' knowledge and skills in psychotherapy. Students will learn to apply and integrate therapeutic models in clinical case management, with an emphasis on the theoretical and practical integration of techniques. Key topics include case conceptualization, various psychotherapy models and their scientific basis, and using evidence-based approaches with special patient populations. Evaluation methods may include papers, projects, literature reviews and exams.
This document discusses the use of theories in social work education and practice. It notes that there are approximately 30 theories taught from other disciplines like psychology, sociology, economics, etc. but there is no consensus on a distinct "social work theory." Theories are grouped into broad categories but are taught discretely rather than as a coherent course. Some argue theories have limited value for the complex realities of social work practice while others believe theories should inform practice. The document examines different perspectives on clinical versus macro-level social work and criticisms that some theories have taken over practice rather than guided it.
This document provides an overview of the American Psychological Association's Ethics Code, which establishes ethical standards and guidelines for psychologists. It discusses the intent, organization, scope of application, and procedural considerations of the Ethics Code. The Ethics Code consists of an Introduction, Preamble, five General Principles, and specific Ethical Standards. It is intended to provide guidance to psychologists and standards for professional conduct that can be enforced by the APA and other bodies that adopt the Ethics Code. However, it is not intended as the basis for civil liability.

Social casework has evolved historically over centuries with individuals helping others through charity and philanthropy. It developed into a more professionalized method in the late 19th century in both Western and Eastern societies. Some key developments included the establishment of organizations like the Charity Organization Society in the US in 1877 that used volunteers called "Friendly Visitors" to assess needs and provide guidance. Over time, paid agents replaced volunteers and formal training programs for caseworkers emerged around 1914-1917. Major influences came from theories like psychoanalysis and concepts from psychology. Casework adapted to economic crises and developed different schools of thought incorporating factors like ego psychology, sociological concepts, and a focus on both individuals and their social settings.

Several factors can affect the effectiveness and outcomes of psychosocial rehabilitation (PSR) for individuals with mental health conditions or disabilities. These factors may influence the individual's ability to engage in rehabilitation activities, adhere to treatment plans, and achieve their recovery goals.
• Severity and Nature of the Disability: The type and severity of the individual's mental health condition or disability can significantly impact their ability to participate in psychosocial rehabilitation. Conditions with more severe symptoms or functional impairments may require more intensive or specialized interventions.
• Individual Characteristics: Personal factors such as age, gender, cultural background, socioeconomic status, education level, and personality traits can influence how individuals respond to psychosocial rehabilitation. Understanding these factors is essential for tailoring interventions to meet the individual's unique needs and preferences.

Conversely, lack of social support or negative social interactions may hinder progress in rehabilitation.
• Access to Resources: Adequate access to healthcare, mental health services, rehabilitation facilities, housing, transportation, employment opportunities, and other community resources is essential for supporting individuals in their recovery journey. Barriers to accessing these resources, such as financial constraints or geographic limitations, can impede progress in psychosocial rehabilitation.
• Stigma and Discrimination: Stigma associated with mental illness or disability can negatively impact individuals' self-esteem, self-efficacy, and willingness to seek help or engage in rehabilitation services. Addressing stigma and discrimination.

Ethical Dilemmas in Human Service
Management: Identifying and Resolving
the Challenges
Cheryl A. Hyde
Human service managers are called on to make a variety of difficult decisions
that often involve fundamental conflicts in values. Such conflicts constitute
ethical dilemmas. This qualitative exploratory study examines how human
service managers (N �40), from the United States, identify and resolve ethical
dilemmas. The dilemmas identified by the managers tended to result in the
restriction of missions, programs, services and practice methods. The resolution
of these ethical problems often rested on following the very rules that created
the dilemmas. Additional strategies included consultations and reliance on
abstract principles, specifically those of one’s spiritual faith. Missing, however,
were systematic or evidence-based procedures for resolving challenges that
often threatened the very goals of the human service agencies. The need for
more careful training in the area of ethical problem solving that maintains the
vision of human services is presented.

Human service managers constantly are called upon to make difficult decisions
with regard to service provision, staff support, resource acquisition, and program
development. At the heart of many decisions are fundamental conflicts in values:
accessibility versus efficiency, social change versus security, or compassion
versus compliance. Such conflicts constitute ethical dilemmas, the resolution of
which often involves prioritizing and then selecting from a set of competing
values and attendant actions.
While the importance of ethical conduct is widely acknowledged in the human
services, how managers identify and resolve ethical issues has received relatively

Ethical Dilemmas in Human Service
Management: Identifying and Resolving
the Challenges
Cheryl A. Hyde
Human service managers are called on to make a variety of difficult decisions
that often involve fundamental conflicts in values. Such conflicts constitute
ethical dilemmas. This qualitative exploratory study examines how human
service managers (N �40), from the United States, identify and resolve ethical
dilemmas. The dilemmas identified by the managers tended to result in the
restriction of missions, programs, services and practice methods. The resolution
of these ethical problems often rested on following the very rules that created
the dilemmas. Additional strategies included consultations and reliance on
abstract principles, specifically those of one’s spiritual faith. Missing, however,
were systematic or evidence-based procedures for resolving challenges that
often threatened the very goals of the human service agencies. The need for
more careful training in the area of ethical problem solving that maintains the
vision of human services is presented.

Human service managers constantly are called upon to make difficult decisions
with regard to service provision, staff support, resource acquisition, and program
development. At the heart of many decisions are fundamental conflicts in values:
accessibility versus efficiency, social change versus security, or compassion
versus compliance. Such conflicts constitute ethical dilemmas, the resolution of
which often involves prioritizing and then selecting from a set of competing
values and attendant actions.
While the importance of ethical conduct is widely acknowledged in the human
services, how managers identify and resolve ethical issues has received relatively

Code of Ethicsof the National Association of Social WorkersApp.docxclarebernice
Code of Ethics
of the National Association of Social Workers
Approved by the 1996 NASW Delegate Assembly and revised by the 2008 NASW Delegate Assembly
Preamble
The primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic human needs of all people, with particular attention to the needs and empowerment of people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty. A historic and defining feature of social work is the profession’s focus on individual well-being in a social context and the well-being of society. Fundamental to social work is attention to the environmental forces that create, contribute to, and address problems in living.
Social workers promote social justice and social change with and on behalf of clients. “Clients” is used inclusively to refer to individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Social workers are sensitive to cultural and ethnic diversity and strive to end discrimination, oppression, poverty, and other forms of social injustice. These activities may be in the form of direct practice, community organizing, supervision, consultation administration, advocacy, social and political action, policy development and implementation, education, and research and evaluation. Social workers seek to enhance the capacity of people to address their own needs. Social workers also seek to promote the responsiveness of organizations, communities, and other social institutions to individuals’ needs and social problems.
The mission of the social work profession is rooted in a set of core values. These core values, embraced by social workers throughout the profession’s history, are the foundation of social work’s unique purpose and perspective:
· service
· social justice
· dignity and worth of the person
· importance of human relationships
· integrity
· competence.
This constellation of core values reflects what is unique to the social work profession. Core values, and the principles that flow from them, must be balanced within the context and complexity of the human experience.
Purpose of the NASW Code of Ethics
Professional ethics are at the core of social work. The profession has an obligation to articulate its basic values, ethical principles, and ethical standards. The NASW Code of Ethics sets forth these values, principles, and standards to guide social workers’ conduct. The Code is relevant to all social workers and social work students, regardless of their professional functions, the settings in which they work, or the populations they serve.
The NASW Code of Ethics serves six purposes:
1. The Code identifies core values on which social work’s mission is based.
2. The Code summarizes broad ethical principles that reflect the profession’s core values and establishes a set of specific ethical standards that should be used to guide social work practice.
3. The Code is designed to help social workers identify relevant considerations when professional obliga ...
This document discusses boundaries and dual relationships in professional psychological practice. It begins by outlining the importance of trust, power balances, and safety in client-psychologist relationships. Several types of boundaries are then examined, including prohibitions against sexual relationships, guidelines around former clients, policies on physical and self-disclosure, and managing dual roles. The document also explores boundary issues that can arise in different practice settings like individual, home-based, rural, academic, involuntary and organizational work. Throughout, it emphasizes the need for clear communication, informed consent, and adherence to ethical codes to protect clients and avoid exploitation.
The lcsw licensing process revised 2015Janlee Wong
This document provides an overview of the licensing process for becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California. It outlines the key requirements including completing a master's degree in social work, registering as an Associate Social Worker, gaining 3,200 hours of supervised clinical experience, completing additional coursework in areas like law and ethics, and passing two state exams. It provides guidance on finding qualified supervisors and notes important deadlines like renewing the Associate registration annually. The goal is to help social workers understand all the necessary steps to become licensed in California.
This document outlines the top ten social work issues according to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). These issues include title protection, implementation of the Affordable Care Act, licensure, social action/social justice, advocacy, compensation, jobs, social work image, ethics, and workforce development. For each issue, background information is provided on NASW's stance and activities. Examples of current advocacy efforts at the state level are also listed. The overall purpose is to inform social workers about the most pressing issues in the field and ways to get involved.
The document provides an overview of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and its implementation in California. It discusses how the ACA expands Medicaid (Medi-Cal) coverage and creates health insurance exchanges to cover the uninsured. It also addresses eligibility, enrollment, plan options, and the roles of social workers in outreach and advocacy.
This document summarizes a training for the Central Valley Unit (CVU) of NASW. It discusses strategies for the CVU around financial resources, outreach, communication, and event planning. For outreach, the focus is on effectively engaging the 6 counties of the CVU region. Communication strategies include the use of social media, the statewide calendar, chapter newsletter, and email. Event planning covers identifying engaging events, registration, payment, and advertising. The training also addresses ongoing leadership recruitment and development.
The document discusses California's implementation of the Affordable Care Act. It aims to achieve universal coverage through Medicaid expansion and private health plans on the state's health insurance exchange. While coverage will increase, some groups like unauthorized immigrants will remain uninsured. The state is promoting enrollment through navigators and assisters. It is also working to protect consumers through insurance market reforms and establish essential health benefits. Accountable care organizations are being developed to coordinate care delivery and lower costs. Community health workers play an important role in care coordination and outreach.
The document discusses international social work and perspectives from various scholars and practitioners. It addresses the meaning of international social work, new agendas in the field including terrorism and global warming, and lessons for social work education. International social work is defined as addressing problems between nations or across boundaries, with a focus on the well-being of all people worldwide regardless of nationality. It is suggested social work adopt a more global vision, understand issues in context, embrace human rights from below, incorporate post-colonial studies, be more value-based, and deconstruct privileged perspectives from the West. Examples from Costa Rica and Scotland illustrate opportunities to learn about social problems in other countries and compare human services between nations.
Affordable care act NASW Annual Conference 2013Janlee Wong
The document discusses how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) affects health insurance coverage in California. It notes that around 15% of Californians are affected by the ACA because they previously lacked health insurance or had unaffordable coverage. The ACA expands Medicaid eligibility and provides subsidies for private health plans purchased through the state's health insurance exchange, Covered California. It outlines the various plans offered through Covered California and the eligibility criteria for financial assistance. The document also discusses the role of social workers and community health workers in supporting the implementation of the ACA.
This document outlines the agenda and objectives of an ethics workshop for social workers sponsored by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). The workshop aims to familiarize participants with social work ethics values, principles, standards, and the NASW Code of Ethics. It includes exercises for discussing perceived ethical dilemmas and how to apply different ethical frameworks. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their own beliefs and consider issues like cultural competence, respect for clients and colleagues, and anti-discrimination. The workshop also addresses navigating ethical conflicts that may arise between organizational demands and professional values.
This document discusses opportunities for social workers under the Affordable Care Act and the importance of Medicaid expansion. It summarizes key provisions of the ACA, such as dependent coverage until age 26 and prohibiting pre-existing condition exclusions starting in 2014. The document urges social workers to help enroll uninsured clients and advocate for Medicaid expansion in their states to reduce health disparities and provide coverage to low-income individuals. Social workers are well-positioned to help with enrollment and address psychosocial needs not met by other professions.
This document discusses social work advocacy and policy issues. It covers topics like the impact of budget cuts, fights to resist cuts through political advocacy, title protection for social workers, and various bills being advocated for and against in the California legislature. The overall message is about the importance of social workers engaging in policy and advocacy work to influence decisions that impact the populations they serve.
This document provides an overview of key elements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), including who is covered, what is covered, who pays for coverage, and how to get covered. It discusses the goals of universal coverage and affordable health plans. It also outlines provisions such as health insurance exchanges, Medicaid expansion, essential health benefits, accountable care organizations, and impacts on employers and individuals.
This document discusses some of the ethical considerations social workers should take into account regarding social media. It notes that while social media provides benefits like free communication and networking, it also challenges traditional notions of confidentiality and dual relationships. Clinicians need to avoid venting about clients online or sharing confidential details that could identify clients. Social media also makes it difficult to prevent clients and clinicians from finding personal information about each other online. The document questions how ethics may need to evolve as social media becomes more integrated and asks social workers to consider their own social media use and boundaries.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

knowledge and skills to provide social services for clients (who
may be individuals, families, groups, communities,
organizations, or society in general). Social workers help
people increase their capacities for problem solving and
coping, and they help them obtain needed resources,
facilitate interactions between individuals and between
people and their environments, make organizations
responsible to people, and influence social policies. Social
workers may work directly with clients addressing individual,
family and community issues, or they may work at a systems
level on regulations and policy development, or as
administrators and planners of large social service systems

14. NASW Clinical Social Work Standards (3)
• Clinical Social Work Clinical social work is the
professional application of social work theory and methods to the
diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of psychosocial dysfunction,
disability, or impairment, including emotional, mental, and
behavioral disorders (Barker, 2003).10
• Counseling This is a procedure that is often used in clinical social
work and other professions to guide individuals, families, couples,
groups, and communities by such activities as delineating
alternatives, helping to articulate goals, and providing needed
information (Barker, 2003).
• Person-in-Environment Perspective This orientation views the client
as part of an environmental system. It encompasses reciprocal
relationships and other influences between an individual, relevant
others, and the physical and social environment (Barker, 2003).
14
15. NASW Clinical Social Work Standards (3)
• Psychodynamic This word pertains to the cognitive, emotional, and volitional
mental processes that consciously and unconsciously motivate an individual’s
behavior. These processes are the product of the interplay among a
person’s genetic and biological heritage, the sociocultural milieu, past and current
realities, perceptual abilities and distortions, and his or her unique experiences
and memories (Barker, 2003).
• Psychotherapy is a specialized, formal interaction between a social worker or
other mental health professional and a client (either individual, couple, family, or
group) in which a therapeutic relationship is established to help resolve symptoms
of mental disorder, psychosocial stress, relationship problems, and difficulties in
coping in the social environment. Types of psychotherapy include, but are not
limited to family therapy, group therapy, cognitive–behavioral
therapy, psychosocial therapy, and psychodrama (Barker, 2003).
• Therapy This is a systematic process designed to remedy, cure, or abate some
disease, disability, or problem. This term is often used by social workers as a
synonym for individual psychotherapy, conjoint therapy, couples therapy,
psychosocial therapy, or group therapy (Barker, 2003).

Discussion
• How social work has evolved?
• Do people need talk therapy?
– According to a 2004 Harris poll, 27 percent of adults
received mental health treatment within two years of
that year, 30 million of whom sought psychotherapy
(1)
– Howes “…describes therapy as a college course where
you’re the only subject. ‘Therapy will give you a place
to focus only on you with the support of a trained
expert who works to understand and guide you to
reach your goals.’” (1)
– What would Harry Specht say?
16
17. Harry Specht & Mark Courtney (5)
• “Although we are dubious about the efficacy of
psychotherapy in general and strongly opposed to its
use as the major mode of social work practice, we
begin with the assumption that both social work and
psychotherapy serve important functions in modern
life, although neither is fulfilling these functions very
well. We believe that social work has abandoned its
missions to help the poor and oppressed and to build
communality. Instead, many social workers are
devoting their energies and talents to careers in
psychotherapy. A significant proportion of social work
professionals - about 40 percent- are in private
practice, serving middle-class clients.”

having the care or custody of any child, willfully
causes or permits the person or health of the
child to be placed in a situation in which his or
her person or health is endangered.
24
25. Child Abuse Definitions
CA Penal Code
• 11165.4. As used in this article, "unlawful
corporal punishment or injury" means a
situation where any person willfully inflicts
upon any child any cruel or inhuman corporal
punishment or injury resulting in a traumatic
condition.
• What about drug use?
25
26. Pos Tox Screen
• CA Penal Code 11165.13. For purposes of this article, a
positive toxicology screen at the time of the delivery of an
infant is not in and of itself a sufficient basis for reporting
child abuse or neglect. However, any indication of maternal
substance abuse shall lead to an assessment of the needs
of the mother and child pursuant to Section 123605 of the
Health and Safety Code. If other factors are present that
indicate risk to a child, then a report shall be made.
However, a report based on risk to a child which relates
solely to the inability of the parent to provide the child with
regular care due to the parent's substance abuse shall be
made only to a county welfare or probation department,
and not to a law enforcement agency.
26
27. Reasonable Suspicion (19)
• The California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act
created a set of state statutes that establish the whys,
whens and wheres of reporting child abuse in
California.
• “Mandated reporters” are required to make a child
abuse report anytime, in the scope of performing their
professional duties, they discover facts that lead them
to know or reasonably suspect a child is a victim of
abuse.
• Reasonable suspicion of abuse occurs when “it is
objectively reasonable for a person to entertain a
suspicion, based upon facts that could cause a
reasonable person in a like position, drawing when
appropriate on his or her training and experience, to
suspect child abuse or neglect.”
27
28. Reporting Chain
• CA Penal Code 11165.9. Reports of suspected
child abuse or neglect shall be made by
mandated reporters, or in the case of reports
pursuant to Section 11166.05, may be made,
to any police department or sheriff's
department, not including a school district
police or security department, county
probation department, if designated by the
county to receive mandated reports, or the
county welfare department.
28
29. Time Frame
• CA Penal Code Section 11166. The mandated
reporter shall make an initial report by telephone
to the agency immediately or as soon as is
practicably possible, and shall prepare and send,
fax, or electronically transmit a written follow-up
report within 36 hours of receiving the
information concerning the incident. The
mandated reporter may include with the report
any nonprivileged documentary evidence the
mandated reporter possesses relating to the
incident.
29
30. Failure to Report
• CA Penal Code 11165.7(c) A mandated reporter who
fails to report an incident of known or reasonably
suspected child abuse or neglect as required by this
section is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to
six months confinement in a county jail or by a fine of
one thousand dollars ($1,000) or by both that
imprisonment and fine. If a mandated reporter
intentionally conceals his or her failure to report an
incident known by the mandated reporter to be abuse
or severe neglect under this section, the failure to
report is a continuing offense until an agency specified
in Section 11165.9 discovers the offense.
30
31. Clergy Rules
• CA Penal Code 11165.7. A clergy member, as
specified in subdivision (d) of Section 11166.
As used in this article, "clergy member" means
a priest, minister, rabbi, religious practitioner,
or similar functionary of a church, temple, or
recognized denomination or organization. (33)
Any custodian of records of a clergy member,
as specified in this section and subdivision (d)
of Section 11166.
31
32. Clergy Rules
• CA Penal Code Section 11166 (d) (1) A clergy member who
acquires knowledge or a reasonable suspicion of child
abuse or neglect during a penitential communication is not
subject to subdivision (a). For the purposes of this
subdivision, "penitential communication" means a
communication, intended to be in confidence, including,
but not limited to, a sacramental confession, made to a
clergy member who, in the course of the discipline or
practice of his or her church, denomination, or
organization, is authorized or accustomed to hear those
communications, and under the discipline, tenets, customs,
or practices of his or her church, denomination, or
organization, has a duty to keep those communications
secret.
32
33. Sandusky Rule (8)
• CA Penal Code 11165.7 (44) Any athletic coach,
including, but not limited to, an assistant coach or a
graduate assistant involved in coaching, at public or
private postsecondary institutions.
• “as of January 1, 2013, university employees whose
duties involve regular contact with children, or who
supervise employees whose duties involve regular
contact with children. For purposes of this policy, all
CSU employees are designated mandated reporters.
Volunteers are not mandated reporters. As designated
mandated reporters, all employees are required to
report suspected child abuse or neglect. “
33
34. Receiving Reports
• Agencies that are required to receive reports
of suspected child abuse or neglect may not
refuse to accept a report of suspected child
abuse or neglect from a mandated reporter or
another person unless otherwise authorized
pursuant to this section, and shall maintain a
record of all reports received.
34
35. Cuff v. Grossmont (6)
• High School Counselor Not Immune From
Liability For Improper Disclosure of a Child
Abuse Report
• The Court of Appeal has held that a school
counselor was not immune from liability
pursuant to the Child Abuse and Neglect
Reporting Act for her unauthorized release of
her report of suspected child abuse that was
prepared pursuant to that statute.
35
36. Who has access to reports?
• Consider PC 11167.5, which dictates that reports of child abuse or neglect
are confidential documents and may only be released as provided in that
and related penal code sections. Any system maintaining those
documents, electronically or otherwise, must ensure that only those
entitled to view the report have access. This access may be significantly
differ than others in the agency who are permitted access to portions of
other electronic health records generally (for example, a tech reviewing
the HER to analyze some lab results shouldn’t have access to these
reports). The provider/agency should discuss that issue with their legal
department to determine whether the system that they’ve established
complies with the Penal code requirements for maintaining the
confidentiality of the reports. Greg Rose, Deputy Director, Childrens
Bureau, CA Dept. of Social Services. 5/2/14

39. Elder & Dependent Adult Abuse Definitions (7)
CA Welfare and Institutions Code section 15610.07
• Abuse of an elder or a dependent adult is abuse of:
– Someone 65 years old or older; or
– A dependent adult, who is someone between 18 and 64 that
has certain mental or physical disabilities that keep him or her
from being able to do normal activities or protect himself or
herself.
• The law says elder or dependent adult abuse is:
– Physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, abandonment,
isolation, abduction (taking the person out of the state against

suffering.
39
40. CA Welfare and Institutions Code
Section 15630 (b) (1)
• shall report the known or suspected instance
of abuse by telephone or through a
confidential Internet reporting tool, as
authorized by Section 15658, immediately or
as soon as practicably possible. If reported by
telephone, a written report shall be sent, or
an Internet report shall be made through the
confidential Internet reporting tool
established in Section 15658, within two
working days.
40
41. Reporting Locations
CA Welfare and Institutions Code section 15610.07
• (A) If the suspected or alleged abuse is physical abuse, as defined in Section 15610.63, and the
abuse occurred in a long-term care facility, except a state mental health hospital or a state
developmental center, the following shall occur:
• (i) If the suspected abuse results in serious bodily injury, a telephone report shall be made to the
local law enforcement agency immediately, but also no later than within two hours of the
mandated reporter observing, obtaining knowledge of, or suspecting the physical abuse, and a
written report shall be made to the local ombudsman, the corresponding licensing agency, and the
local law enforcement agency within two hours of the mandated reporter observing, obtaining
knowledge of, or suspecting the physical abuse.
• (ii) If the suspected abuse does not result in serious bodily injury, a telephone report shall be made
to the local law enforcement agency within 24 hours of the mandated reporter observing, obtaining
knowledge of, or suspecting the physical abuse, and a written report shall be made to the local
ombudsman, the corresponding licensing agency, and the local law enforcement agency within 24
hours of the mandated reporter observing, obtaining knowledge of, or suspecting the physical
abuse.
• (iii) When the suspected abuse is allegedly caused by a resident with a physician’s diagnosis of
dementia, and there is no serious bodily injury, as reasonably determined by the mandated
reporter, drawing upon his or her training or experience, the reporter shall report to the local
ombudsman or law enforcement agency by telephone, immediately or as soon as practicably
possible, and by written report, within 24 hours.
41
42. Who are Mandated Reporters?
• Social workers (elaborate)
• Anonymous and Voluntary Reporting
42
43. Domestic Violence
• Are social workers mandated reporters of
domestic violence? (22)
• Why or why not?
43
44. Domestic Violence Reporters
• CA Penal Code 11160. (a) Any health practitioner
employed in a health facility, clinic, physician's
office, local or state public health department, or
a clinic or other type of facility operated by a
local or state public health department who, in
his or her professional capacity or within the
scope of his or her employment, provides
medical services for a physical condition to a
patient whom he or she knows or reasonably
suspects is a person described as follows, shall
immediately make a report in accordance with
subdivision (b):
44
46. Duty to Protect (Tarasoff)
• CA Civil Code 43.92.
• (a) There shall be no monetary liability on the part of, and no cause
of action shall arise against, any person who is a psychotherapist as
defined in Section 1010 of the Evidence Code in failing to protect
from a patient’s threatened violent behavior or failing to predict
and protect from a patient’s violent behavior except if the patient
has communicated to the psychotherapist a serious threat of
physical violence against a reasonably identifiable victim or victims.
• (b) There shall be no monetary liability on the part of, and no cause
of action shall arise against, a psychotherapist who, under the
limited circumstances specified in subdivision (a), discharges his or
her duty to protect by making reasonable efforts to communicate
the threat to the victim or victims and to a law enforcement agency.
46
47. Ewing v. Goldstein
• “When the communication of the serious
threat of physical violence is received by the
therapist from a member of the patient’s
immediate family and is shared for the
purpose of facilitating and furthering the
patient’s treatment, the fact that the family
member is not technically a ‘patient’ is not
crucial to the statute’s purpose.” (Ewing v.
Goldstein (2004) 120 Cal.App.4th 807, 817 [15
Cal.Rptr.3d 864].)
47
48. Calderon v. Glick
• “Section 43.92 strikes a reasonable balance in that it
does not compel the therapist to predict the
dangerousness of a patient. Instead, it requires the
therapist to attempt to protect a victim under limited
circumstances, even though the therapist's disclosure
of a patient confidence will potentially disrupt or
destroy the patient's trust in the therapist. However,
the requirement is imposed upon the therapist only
after he or she determines that the patient has made a
credible threat of serious physical violence against a
person.” (Calderon v. Glick (2005) 131 Cal.App.4th 224,
231 [31 Cal.Rptr.3d 707].)

49. Violence/Harm, Predicting Violence,
Risk Assessment
• Is HIV/AIDs status an exception to
confidentiality? A mandatory report?
• Is deliberate exposure to a person by a HIV
infected person a crime? (21)
• Is past criminal activity or violence (other than
to children, elders, or dependent adults) an
exception to confidentiality? A mandatory
report?

50. 5150 in CA
• CALIFORNIA WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE,
SECTION 5150, second paragraph, "... an
application in writing stating the circumstances
under which the person's condition was called to
the attention of the officer, member of the
attending staff, or professional person, and
stating that the officer, member of the attending
staff, or professional person has probable cause
to believe that the person is, as a result of mental
disorder, a danger to others, or to himself or
herself, or gravely disabled."
50
51. LPS Considerations (10)
• Danger to others: This term is not defined by statute or regulation, but can
be manifested by words or actions indicating a serious intent to cause
bodily harm to another person due to a mental disorder. If the dangerous
to others finding is based on the person’s threats rather than acts, the
evaluator must believe it is likely that the person will carry out the threats.
• Danger to self: This term is not defined by statute or regulation, but can be
manifested by threats or actions indicating the intent to commit suicide or
inflict serious bodily harm on oneself, or actions which place the person in
serious physical jeopardy, if these actions are due to a mental disorder.
• Gravely Disabled-Adult: A condition in which a person, as a result of a
mental disorder (rather than a chosen lifestyle or lack of funds) is unable
to provide for his or her basic needs for food, clothing or shelter (WIC
5008).
51
52. More LPS
• The threat to harm oneself may be through neglect or inability to
care for oneself.
• Courts have ruled that if a person can survive safely in freedom with
the help of willing and responsible family members, friends or third
parties, then he or she is not considered gravely disabled.
• Gravely Disabled-Minor: As a result of a mental disorder, a minor
(person 17 years old or younger) is unable to utilize the elements
of life, which are essential to health, safety and development,
including food, clothing, or shelter, even though provided to the
minor by others (WIC 5585.25).
• Probable Cause: is the legal standard we use to determine whether
or not a person meets the criteria for a hold due to a mental
disorder. When enacted in 1967, section 5150 of the LPS Act
required only “reasonable cause "for detention. This section was
amended in 1975 to require probable cause” for detention.

58. RECORDS
Definitions
• What are records?
• Who owns the records?
• Who must keep Records?
• How to Keep Records (security)
58
59. Must Keep Records (11)
• Maintaining patient records is the law. All
licensees and registrants of the Board must “keep
records consistent with sound clinical judgment,
the standards of the profession, and the nature of
the services being rendered.”
• Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action
against a person’s license or registration. Failure
to maintain records is deigned as unprofessional
conduct in sections 4982(v), 4992.3 (s), and
4989.54(j) of the Business and Professions Code.
59
60. Liability (11)
• Keeping accurate records benefits mental
health care providers. If a licensee or
registrant were ever to come under
investigation, records could become a key
source of information. Accurate, concise,
record keeping may help to prove compliance
with the law in instances of consumer
complaints.
60
61. How Long? (11)
• While the law requires mental health professionals
within the Board’s jurisdiction to keep records, the law
does not specify for how long or in what format to
keep these records. he law states generally that records
must be kept “consistent with sound clinical judgment,
the standards of the profession and the nature of the
services being rendered.” his may cause concern
among licensees and registrants. For advice on the
format and duration of record keeping, the Board
encourages licensees and registrants to contact their
professional association or an attorney of their choice
for guidance.
61
62. Client Access (11)
• Adult patients, minor patients authorized by law to consent to medical
treatment, and patient representatives have the right to request any
portion of the practitioner’s records on the patient. California Health and
Safety Code section 123110 provides timelines on providing different
types of records to patients and any reasonable clerical costs that may be
charged for providing the records. This section of law applies to health
care providers, including the Board’s licensees and registrants. Key
timelines for compliance written into this law include:
• Permitting inspection within five working days from receipt of written
request
• Transmitting copies of records within 15 days from receipt of written
request
• Transmitting copies, at no charge, of the relevant portion of a patient’s
records to support an appeal regarding eligibility for a public benefit
program within 30 days from receipt of written request
62
63. Access to Records
• CA Health and Safety Code §123110. INSPECTION AND COPYING;
VERIFICATION OF IDENTITY; RETENTION AND QUALITY OF RECORDS;
LIABILITY FOR DISCLOSURE; VIOLATIONS; PENALTIES
• (a) Notwithstanding Section 5328 of the Welfare and Institutions Code,
and except as provided in Sections 123115 and 123120, any adult patient
of a health care provider, any minor patient authorized by law to consent
to medical treatment, and any patient representative shall be entitled to
inspect patient records upon presenting to the health care provider a
written request for those records and upon payment of reasonable clerical
costs incurred in locating and making the records available. However, a
patient who is a minor shall be entitled to inspect patient records
pertaining only to health care of a type for which the minor is lawfully
authorized to consent. A health care provider shall permit this inspection
during business hours within five working days after receipt of the written
request. The inspection shall be conducted by
• the patient or patient's representative requesting the inspection, who may
be accompanied by one other person of his or her choosing.
63
64. NASW Code of Ethics
• 1.08 Access to Records
• (a) Social workers should provide clients with reasonable access to
records concerning the clients. Social workers who are concerned
that clients’ access to their records could cause serious
misunderstanding or harm to the client should provide assistance in
interpreting the records and consultation with the client regarding
the records. Social workers should limit clients’ access to their
records, or portions of their records, only in exceptional
circumstances when there is compelling evidence that such access
would cause serious harm to the client. Both clients’ requests and
the rationale for withholding some or all of the record should be
documented in clients’ files.
• (b) When providing clients with access to their records, social
workers should take steps to protect the confidentiality of other
individuals identified or discussed in such records.
64
65. A Summary Rather Than
• CA Welfare & Institutions Code 123130. (a) A health care provider
may prepare a summary of the record, according to the
requirements of this section, for inspection and copying by a
patient. If the health care provider chooses to prepare a summary
of the record rather than allowing access to the entire record, he or
she shall make the summary of the record available to the patient
within 10 working days from the date of the patient's request.
However, if more time is needed because the record is of
extraordinary length or because the patient was discharged from a
licensed health facility within the last 10 days, the health care
provider shall notify the patient of this fact and the date that the
summary will be completed, but in no case shall more than 30 days
elapse between the request by the patient and the delivery of the
summary. In preparing the summary of the record the health care
provider shall not be obligated to include information that is not
contained in the original record.
65
66. Summary Content
• (1) Chief complaint or complaints including pertinent
history. (2) Findings from consultations and referrals
to other health care providers. (3) Diagnosis, where
determined. (4) Treatment plan and regimen
including medications prescribed. (5) Progress of the
treatment. (6) Prognosis including significant
continuing problems or conditions. (7) Pertinent
reports of diagnostic procedures and tests and all
discharge summaries. (8) Objective findings from the
most recent physical examination, such as blood
pressure, weight, and actual values from routine
laboratory tests.

67. Federal Law (12)
Health Information Portability and Privacy Act
• HIPAA Privacy Rule. HIPAA is a federal law
that 1) protects the privacy of patients’
medical records and other health information
provided to health plans, doctors, hospitals
and other health care providers; 2) provides
patients with access to their medical records;
and 3) allows patients to determine how their
personal health information is used and
disclosed.
67
68. HIPAA Medical Privacy Rule (13)
• The HIPAA medical privacy regulations (Privacy Rule)
affect almost every segment of the health care
industry, including professional social workers. The
Privacy Rule sets out specific patient/client rights as
well as providers’ responsibilities to maintain records
according to federal standards. Social workers will
need to develop written privacy policies, provide a
notice of privacy practices to all clients and use specific
forms for authorizations to release client records. In
addition, special provisions pertain to “psychotherapy
notes,” as they are defined in the Privacy Rule. Social
workers will need to be informed about the new
requirements and train their staff.
68
71. Personal Notes
Psychotherapy Notes
• Notes that belong to the practitioner, not the
client
– Info from a 3rd party, not written in the client’s
record
– Info that might be injurious to the client
– Info that is speculative, hunches, reminders
71
72. Confidentiality (14)
NASW Code of Ethics
• (c) Social workers should protect the confidentiality of all information obtained in
the course of professional service, except for compelling professional reasons. The
general expectation that social workers will keep information confidential does not
apply when disclosure is necessary to prevent serious, foreseeable, and imminent
harm to a client or other identifiable person. In all instances, social workers should
disclose the least amount of confidential information necessary to achieve the
desired purpose; only information that is directly relevant to the purpose for which
the disclosure is made should be revealed.
• (d) Social workers should inform clients, to the extent possible, about the
disclosure of confidential information and the potential consequences, when
feasible before the disclosure is made. This applies whether social workers disclose
confidential information on the basis of a legal requirement or client consent.
• (e) Social workers should discuss with clients and other interested parties the
nature of confidentiality and limitations of clients’ right to confidentiality. Social
workers should review with clients circumstances where confidential information
may be requested and where disclosure of confidential information may be legally
required. This discussion should occur as soon as possible in the social worker-
client relationship and as needed throughout the course of the relationship.
72
73. Confidentiality (15)
California Medical Information Act
• CMIA prohibits a health care provider, health care service plan, or contractor from
disclosing medical information regarding a patient, enrollee, or subscriber without
first obtaining an authorization, except as specified.
• CMIA requires a health care provider, health care service plan, pharmaceutical
company, or contractor who creates, maintains, preserves, stores, abandons,
destroys, or disposes of medical records to do so in a manner that preserves the
confidentiality of the information contained within those records.
• CMIA defines “medical information” to mean any individually identifiable
information, in electronic or physical form, in possession of or derived from a
provider of health care, health care service plan, pharmaceutical company, or
contractor regarding a patient’s medical history, mental or physical condition, or
treatment. “Individually identifiable” means that the medical information includes
or contains any element of personal identifying information sufficient to allow
identification of the individual, such as the patient’s name, address, electronic mail
address, telephone number, or social security number, or other information that
reveals the individual’s identity.

74. Privilege
Privileged Communications
• Information used in the assessment, evaluation, treatment
of clients is confidential and therefore “privileged”
• Communication between the practitioner and the client
can be “privileged” US Supreme Court Decision Jaffe v.
Redmond 518 U.S. 1 (1996)
• Who owns the information in a client record?
• The owner is the holder of privilege
• The practitioner may possess the physical or electronic
records of a client but is not the holder, but is the protector
of privilege
• Communication between attorney and client is “privileged”
74
75. Releases
Written Releases
• The privilege holder (client) may “release” his
or her information to anyone they wish to
• The practitioner shall honor that the privilege
holder’s request to release information with
some exceptions
• Exceptions: Information if released could lead
to harm to the client; personal notes
belonging to the practitioner
75
76. Written Releases
• For documentation and record keeping
purposes, all releases of information should
be documented and a written release signed
by the holder should be obtained and
retained.
• The release should be specific: To whom the
information is released, what information and
what amount is to be released, and the time
frame of the release
76
77. Other Exceptions (16)
• Subpoenas:
– Issued by courts and attorneys (considered officers of
the courts)
– Upon receipt, if the client hasn’t provided a written
release, the provider must obtain a release or ask the
issuer of the subpoena to withdraw it (without
confirmed the identity of the client)
– Court action may be need to reject a subpoena and an
attorney should be retained – check with malpractice

78. Other Exceptions to Privilege
CA Evidence Code
• 1016: When client presents their emotional
condition as an issue in court
• 1018: Psychiatric eval in deterring criminal
defendant’s state of mind
• Using mental health services to commit or plan a
crime, a tort, or to escape detection or
apprehension after committing a crime
• 1020: When suing a mental health professional
• 1024: Danger to self or others
78
79. The USA Patriot Act (20)
Social workers and other health care professionals are alarmed that under Section 215
of the PATRIOT Act, clients' private psychotherapy records could be disclosed to
government officials without notice or an opportunity for the clients to consent. Social
workers recognize that confidentiality is the cornerstone of mental health treatment,
as codified in state and federal statutes and affirmed in Supreme Court and other
federal court decisions, and set out in detail in the NASW Code of Ethics , Standard
1.7.
NASW, in its updated policy statement, Confidentiality and Information Utilization
(NASW, 2003, p. 58), sets out recommendations regarding disclosure of client records.
Especially pertinent to Section 215 of the PATRIOT Act is the recommendation to enact
legislation, regulations, and policies to ensure that … “Information obtained about
individuals for one purpose must not be used or made available for other purposes
without the individual's explicit informed consent.” Another relevant NASW
recommendation states:
Information about an individual client should not be shared with any other individual
or agency without the individual's authorized informed consent unless state laws
require the release of information, and in that case, the client will be informed about
the legal process and what is to be released (NASW, 203, p. 59).
The PATRIOT Act's automatic gag order directly conflicts with the NASW policy
regarding client notice and consent.

§6924. MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT OF MINORS
• (b) A minor who is 12 years of age or older may consent to
mental health treatment or counseling on an outpatient
basis, or to residential shelter services, if both of the
following requirements are satisfied:
• (1) The minor, in the opinion of the attending professional
person, is mature enough to participate intelligently in the
