Covert Observation Report

In this paper, I discuss my experience with observing a group counseling session with the purpose of evaluating it in terms of how it is set up, how it is run, interventions used, culturally sensitivity, and the contribution toward my professional development as a social worker. The group setting plays a critical role in social work outside of the individual session and can be largely beneficial for clients in the forms of therapy, counseling, self-help, and support. By attempting to better understand group interventions, I will learn how to apply this strategy in aiding clients for whom this method is appropriate by increasing their social supports.

As I entered Target’s children’s department it was obvious what clothes and toys were intended for girls and boys. The girls’ clothing section, was full of vibrant colors like bright pinks, white frilly dresses, and sparkly clothing. On the hand, the boys clothing section was more neutral colors such as brown, tan, and navy blue. So as far as I could see Target is organizing the boys and girl’s department base on gender. But there was a section in the boy’s clothing area that could be gender neutral. Please see photo.

Unfortunately, I missed one of the field placement days. However, I am thankful that the end of the semester for some of my classes meant that I would have the opportunity to make that day up. I decided Wednesday the 20th would be the best day and am glad that I was able to contact a teacher from an area school and get to observe.

Roller skating rinks and bowling alleys are two places that people visit for recreational purposes. Although I have gone bowling a couple of times, I have never gone roller skating at a rink. Some people do go by themselves, while others take along a friend or family member(s). I visited both of these facilities in order to conduct field research and do a micro-level analysis so as to gather primary data from the natural environment about society and patterns of social behavior. While in public, there are certain rules of behavior that are generally followed, which are considered acceptable by the members of society (McLeod, 2008). Individuals who do not follow these norms may be shunned or suffer some type of ramification (McLeod, 2008).

On Tuesday, the 9th of May, 2017 at approximately midnight I was patrolling East on Hastings Road, approaching Martin Bluff Road when I noticed a vehicle with a headlight out traveling West on Hastings on the opposite side of Martin Bluff.

On the event date above, CP attempted to conduct a schedule home visits to Selena Goodall residence. The CP was advised by Selena adoptive brother that she was not home. The CP then proceed to call Selena about her whereabouts. Selena apologized to the CP and stated that she is at Myan daycare center picking the child up. The Cp advised Selena that any point that she feels that she is running to call the CP immediately. The CP asked Selena about the status of the speech evaluator and Selena reports that she scheduled an appointment this up coming Saturday. The CP discussed about rescheduling the home visit for next week in the morning before Myan goes to daycare because the CP stated to Selena that the CP is booked in the evening and needs

CMS has differential payment for inpatient and observation status patient services (Engoren. et., 2016). Observation status is covered under Medicare Part B, which is an optional coverage for beneficiaries and they are usually responsible for the co-payments, which is 20 percent of the Medicare payment for out payment services for such items as labs, x-rays and any medications they usually take at home. The beneficiary will also have to pay their yearly deductible for their Part B. The patient will receive a bill for non-covered services, including any required co-pay or deductibles. While patients are in observation, they could be charged co-payments for individual services they receive. Patients who do not have part B Medicare may incur

In today’s society, the subject of government surveillance is one of the nation’s most controversial topic. Since Snowden’s leakage of confidential National Security Agency (NSA) information, the United States citizens have confirmation the government is “spying” on them through phone, internet, and public communications. Government officials have spoken to the people, saying it is for safety measures; to protect citizens from potential terrorism and catastrophes like the bombing attack of 9/11. However, I have come to believe that the surveillance at the magnitude the NSA is going to is not safe nor ethic.

In one of the talks with Mathis, we discussed the eventual conflicts/idea of having a perpetrator exhibit so close to a survivor/victim exhibit. It was discussed that some people, especially the survivor’s family, have a problem with the potentiality that the perpetrator exhibit would highlight their lives and take away from the victims/survivors of Ravensbrücke. They believe in a sense it would diminish the effect of having the concentration camp as a memorial site. There was a lot of complex emotions and ideas floating around about the perpetrator exhibit being next to the victim/survivor’s exhibits. It was discussed through our group how it actually added to the experience of Ravensbrücke.

On Thursday June 25th 2015 at approximately 1531 hours I was in full uniform and in a marked patrol vehicle. I was stationary at the intersection of State Route 54 and State Route 4031, Lost Creek #2, West Mahanoy Township. At approximately 1531 hours, I observed a green in color two door Pontiac Grand Am travelling Westbound on SR 54. The vehicle proceeded toward the intersection with SR 4031 and turned right Northbound on SR 4031. While the vehicle was turning I observed the operator Michael V. BRENNAN who was identified through a Pennsylvania identification photo. A Pennsylvania certified driver's history indicated that BRENNAN's driving license status was suspended/ revoked.

Troopers in the district were working eight hour shifts and requested for district to change to ten hour shifts. During the meeting with several troopers it was discovered that some troopers were interested in working eight days on and six off, while others preffered the fifty - thirty split shifts.

Confidentiality is when you allow a child’s assessment and other records to only be available to school personnel, agency officials, and parents. This means that a teacher can only share these results with certain people and if they share them with other parents then they are breaking confidentiality. Not only are the teachers not to share assessment results but it also includes: medical, demographic, family history, academic history, and attendance records. The records with this information on it should be in a locked file so that not anyone can look into these files. At Caldwell, we have a special education office where we put this information into a filing cabinet that is locked. There are several different people who go in and out of this

Today I was excited to be back into the lab site and play with the kids again. As soon as we walked in the room I felt the vibe of excitement from the kids because they ran to us and hugged us. In our lab site we have three students doing their observations hours and it can be hard to interact with all students. I decided to do the first hour in the observation hour an I think it was a bad idea. Since I was in the observation room for an hour I got tired sitting down watching through a mirror. Once I came out I was lazy and didn’t want to do anything. I had lack of energy and it was hard to focus in the kids. Last week I was more engage and energetic then this week. I was pretty bumped out that I was feeling this way because I was excited

I am working an evening move and have been on the police office for a long time. I have a companion named Steve who was additionally procured in the meantime as me and helped me graduate the police institute. Steve and I are talking about run of the mill police tattle when he advises me that he was up throughout the night with a wiped out kid. He then illuminates me that he is additionally feeling sick and is drained from working such a variety of hours to have the additional salaries. Steve approaches me to listen for his radio call sign and wake him up if there is a call. Steve is requesting a ten to fifteen moment rest to restore him and he falls right to rest. Since I would prefer not to allow Steve there to sit unbothered I simply sit
