I’m attaching some info on the agency I work for. I work remotely at New Heights Middle School in Jefferson SC as a behavioral health counselor. I have a LMSW; I provide counseling services to kids from age 12-14. I was drawn to this agency due to my desire to work with kids. My prior job was at palmetto pee dee behavioral health. The kids there had mostly conduct disorders. At CareSouth I can focus a lot on actual counseling and less case management. They also pay for ceus and provide clinical supervision. My self-care that I practice is just doing something nice for myself once a week. Because sometimes you give so much of yourself to others you will forget about you.

Reports Expectations:
All reports/papers should have a cover page, an abstract, a table of contents that is automatically generated in Word, and an introduction, identifiable sections of your paper, and conclusion.
Since this is graduate level work, I expect a substantial amount of citations in your writing. Include appropriate reference citations for any content used in the body of your Project.
Review and Use American Psychological Association (APA) format for citations, Figure labels, and Tables, etc.
Label all screen shots using APA format (e.g. Figure 1 , FTK Evidence Processing) (e.g. Table 1 Budget Projections, etc. )
Please refer to the resource on writing graduate level papers which is part of the library resources.
All submissions have to be in Word so I can embed my feedback within the document - no pdf.
For re-submission, please work from the document in which my feedback was embedded, and please leave the feedback intact – that way I can tell where changes have been made to the re-submission.
Please adhere to expected paper length in your papers.
I ask that you read the project specifications carefully and identify what is required. For example, Project One requires that you develop the necessary steps to set up a forensics investigation plan. The plan should therefore include the following:
A brief abstract of what the paper is about
An introduction to the case at hand

The methodology will:
help avoid general legal liability and avoid liability to third parties interested in the investigation, e.g., intellectual property rights, etc. You also need to minimize the potential for becoming trapped in legal issues and include third parties with interest in the investigation.
Ensure the safety of the property and environments involved in the investigation.
Provide the evidence-handling procedures that are preserving the chain of custody, and are critical if law enforcement becomes involved.
The Management Plan should also describe the team structure, budget and timeline. Use Proper Budget Projection Table and Label (See APA format); Use Proper Timeline Table and Label (See ...
Why is it important to master the document review process.pdf
Document review, in the context of litigation and legal proceedings, is the process by which each party to the proceeding examines, sorts, and analyses all documents, data, and electronic information in their possession to determine which materials are relevant to the proceeding and which should be withheld from production. Most discovery and ediscovery actions are built around this procedure.

This document discusses strategies for controlling costs associated with the discovery process in litigation. It notes that discovery is often the most expensive part of a case. It recommends forming the basis for accountability and cost control by having proper document retention, identification, collection, and workflow processes. It also suggests assessing the efficiency of your discovery process by estimating costs based on factors like the parties involved and missing facts. Finally, it recommends managing document workflow during discovery and assembling the right discovery response team to help control costs.
Reports ExpectationsAll reportspapers should have a cover page.docx
Reports Expectations:
All reports/papers should have a cover page, an abstract, a table of contents that is automatically generated in Word, and an introduction, identifiable sections of your paper, and conclusion.
Since this is graduate level work, I expect a substantial amount of citations in your writing. Include appropriate reference citations for any content used in the body of your Project.
Review and Use American Psychological Association (APA) format for citations, Figure labels, and Tables, etc.
Label all screen shots using APA format (e.g. Figure 1 , FTK Evidence Processing) (e.g. Table 1 Budget Projections, etc. )
Please refer to the resource on writing graduate level papers which is part of the library resources.
All submissions have to be in Word so I can embed my feedback within the document - no pdf.
For re-submission, please work from the document in which my feedback was embedded, and please leave the feedback intact – that way I can tell where changes have been made to the re-submission.
Please adhere to expected paper length in your papers.
I ask that you read the project specifications carefully and identify what is required. For example, Project One requires that you develop the necessary steps to set up a forensics investigation plan. The plan should therefore include the following:
A brief abstract of what the paper is about
An introduction to the case at hand
A checklist description of safety steps an investigator would follow to ensure safety is addressed in the investigation
The Preliminary Work will discuss the Rules and Regulation, and Laws pertaining to your investigation. This could include key components such as chain of custody for evidence file examination, search warrant, subpoenas, jurisdictions, plain view doctrine, authority, etc…
A description of Preparation / Interview Questions by providing the forms you will use such as interview questions, chain of custody form.
A description of Investigation Resources including a check list of resources to be considered, tool & equipment, analysis of evidence types and contingencies
A description of Management Plan when you discuss your proposed methodology. This methodology would include at least the discussion of collection, examination, analysis, and reporting.
The methodology will:
help avoid general legal liability and avoid liability to third parties interested in the investigation, e.g., intellectual property rights, etc. You also need to minimize the potential for becoming trapped in legal issues and include third parties with interest in the investigation.
Ensure the safety of the property and environments involved in the investigation.
Provide the evidence-handling procedures that are preserving the chain of custody, and are critical if law enforcement becomes involved.
The Management Plan should also describe the team structure, budget and timeline. Use Proper Budget Projection Table and Label (See APA format); Use Proper Timeline Table and Label (See ...
Why is it important to master the document review process.pdf
Document review, in the context of litigation and legal proceedings, is the process by which each party to the proceeding examines, sorts, and analyses all documents, data, and electronic information in their possession to determine which materials are relevant to the proceeding and which should be withheld from production. Most discovery and ediscovery actions are built around this procedure.
