Introduction
The collaborative meeting, this week brings several
stakeholders from different disciplines together, on behalf of
Joseph Lansing.
Joseph, was removed from his foster care home and the most
recent incident, involves discussion of Joseph with his
classmates and his thoughts of bringing a gun to school. Joseph
was removed from Mrs. Porter class, after her learning from the
other students, the possibility of Joseph, bringing a gun to
school.
Through the collaborative process, it takes each stakeholder,
listening to the views and input of each member of the team.
The collaborative meeting, expressed various viewpoints of
issues on what the next step should be and the plan of action
moving forward for Joseph Lansing. Throughout this case study,
Joseph communicated the best way he knew how; through
expressing his intentions with his classmates. Communicating
ideals and thoughts on behalf of the client/clients and working
through the collaborative process on behalf of the client will

4. help determine a great outlook for the client.
Body
During the collaboration process there a different view points
on how intervention should take place for the client. According
to (Woodside & McClam, 2015), human services professionals
have to be committed to seeking out diverse opinions,
perspectives and ideas about a problem to be addressed.
My thoughts, were in this case and the question asked always,
“What is best for the client”. Keeping the client (Joseph) in
Samuel Elementary and allowing him to finish the year, would
be best decision from this learners’ perspective. Joseph, dealt
with many circumstances, at an early age. Once the problem is
accurately, identified and Joseph strengths determined, the next
step him through the collaborator efforts of the team will be
intervention.
The collaboration relationship among team members on
Joseph’s behalf is one that requires great communication skills
among the team. In order for, the dialogue to begin this week,
different viewpoints were presented. According to (Woodside &
McClam, 2015), each discipline brings a unique perspective to
the understanding of the nature of the individual, families, and
groups of people.
Conclusion
Through enlisting different viewpoints for her team, this will
according to (Woodside, McClam, 2015), bring clarity and
understanding of the overall problems (s). The integrated
synthesis of viewpoints presented at the meeting is that
intervention and support is needed for Joseph. Putting the
client’s needs first is most pertinent throughout the helping
process. My thoughts are, Dr. Manning, views represents my

5. values to fight and advocate on behalf always for the client.
Each discipline brings a unique perspective to the understanding
of the nature of the individual, families, and groups of people,
(Woodside & McClam, 2016). Throughout the helping process,
the client needs, are always first, (p.126). Advocating, for the
clients well-being and for social justice is a professional
imperative, (Gladding & Newsome, 2014).
