Throughout the class, many aspects of the curriculum were seen as useful in future social work practice. Before this course, in other course work, treatment planning and goal setting was often something that was reviewed briefly, yet within the coursework of the capstone seminar this matter had been gone over in more detail. Within this course, it was possible to gain more insight into a more balanced way of setting treatment goals that included conversations with the client concerning what they desired out of treatment in addition to what was needed. This aspect of the course was particularly useful when it came to working towards the development of the treatment plan with the client who was presented during the case presentation, Sarah.

One spring day when she was just a little girl, Regina Falangey started acting very weird. No one knew why. She started becoming very distant from her family and friends at school. She wouldn’t talk to anyone, not even answer questions in class. Her teachers tried to get her to talk, but she didn’t want to. So when she got up into high school, she didn’t have very many friends. Not really any friends. She finally graduated high school, and went on to college. There, she started to become more social and started to gain more friends. She went on to get her PhD in becoming a doctor. After graduating from college and getting her PhD, she found a job at a hospital. Her personality from not wanting to talk, and not having many friends, changed. She became a more interesting person. She had a more bubbly personality. A year after she graduated college, her dad, Bob Falangey, started getting sick and not doing very well. They found out he had cancer. About a year after discovering the cancer, and the doctors not being able to treat it, and stop it, he died. Everyone was devastated. Regina’s mom, Carol Falangey, was so upset. It took her so long to finally live with the fact that he was gone. She asked her daughter to move in

Social Work Practicum 1 is one of the best courses I have ever partake in. It has left me with so much useful knowledge and a strong willingness to keep growing and doing the best I possibly can.

Regina is also extremely talented when it comes to art. I personally have seen her work and think it is exhilarating. In fact, her art has previously been displayed for others to embrace. Researchers stated, “40% of high school students are chronically disengaged from school” (Motivation Matters). Some parents say that cell phones take an affect on why kids are not more involved, but Regina will rarely look at her cell phone because she focuses more on life. The 60% of high school students who engage in school are the ones who have a stronger chance to make it somewhere in life because they have a better concept for it. Those people graduate with outstanding grades and achieve life goals, which Regina has accomplished majorly. With her grades, achievement, goals, and motivation, she is going to accomplish bigger than she will ever believe or realize. She teaches you there is more important things in life, and when you set your mind to it, you can achieve greater.

Regina is the definition of a drama queen. She does not have much of a relationship with her younger sister or either of her parents; however, they give her everything her heart desires. Her mother tries to be

As I observed the N.A. group, I compared Hepworth 's, Direct Social Work Practice, five stages of group development. The Preaffiliation stage involves observation and feeling out the environment of the group; members may be hesitant to speak or test out certain behaviors to see reactions from other members of the group or the facilitator (Hepworth, Rooney, Rooney, & Strom-Gottfried, 2017, 2013). Returning group members greeted each other with hugs, handshakes, pat on the back, while newcomers sat quietly observing others. The facilitator provided an introduction and instructions for participation. Each member was instructed to introduce the first name, state "I am an addict" and take turns reading from the

The beginning of the General Motors recall crisis was the alleged failure by the company to recall its faulty cars on time, despite having known about the ignition switch problem, which persisted over a decade. The aforementioned design flaw in over a million vehicles, which caused hundreds of fatalities, was well known by the company’s management, before the decision to recall the faulty vehicles. Ethical issues relate to the recall crisis concern GM’s favoring cover-up over legal considerations on customer safety. Concisely, the company concealed defects from the top management, dealers, and the public, while the car users crashed the cars and died from problems that General Motors could have fixed. This paper will focus on the issues surrounding the General Motors Recall Crisis.

This assignment is going to look into observation as a social work tool and skill. Firstly, it is going to briefly describe the observation.

I’ll be reflecting back on my natural observation which took place for 20 minutes with ‘Sophie’. ‘Sophie’ is a 48 month old female and her first language is English. I’ll be using a pseudonym, ‘Sophie’ as her name for confidentiality reasons stated in the and also for the teacher ‘Debbie’ (HCPC, 2012). I’ll start off by explaining the importance of observations and how it’s essential within Social work. Ill then lead on to identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the amateur observational method I demonstrated in my notes (Appendix). Ill then conclude my findings by describing any milestones I identified and linking them too theoretical explanations based on my observation.

Social workers are faced with different dilemmas each and every day. It is a social workers job to be committed to their jobs and committed to their clients. Social workers are those people who are interested in helping people and helping to improve their lives. All help isn’t good help. Some of the things that social workers decide to do with their clients end up being unethical. As we explore the Jones case study, there are several different unethical decisions that were made. There are a few different dilemmas throughout the case study. Confidentiality, receiving gifts from clients and their family, social media, and also developing relationships (dual relationships). It important for social workers to have the resources such as the NASW and the standards of practice manual. The code gives us a set of values, principles, and standards to guide decision making and conduct when ethical issues arise.

The world is always changing. Different generations grew up with different things. One of the newer changes is technology. My parents can remember a time when there was no such thing as a cell phone and computer were just big boxes that took up almost the whole room. One of the more recent changes is cell phones.
