If you were an avid sports player growing up; you have presumptuously dreamt about becoming a professional athlete. Living in that big house, playing in front of thousands and potentially millions, and earning that big salary not only for you, but everyone who helped you along the journey. Stephen Curry, a point guard for the Golden State Warriors has just attained a salary of $34,382,550. What the Golden State Warriors are paying Steph Curry may seem like an insurmountable sum of money, but what they pay him is returned in some form or another.

For this discussion, I chose the case study involving Marcus, a retired police officer at the age of 64. As he was ordered by the court to get into treatment, I would try to show understanding of the way he approaches me from the beginning. I think it is important to allow Marcus to feel comfortable and safe for him to begin sharing his ideas in a judgement free environment. As I am younger than my client, in order to be able to treat him, I would have been trained with this type of population first. However, it would be a good idea to consult with my mentor if any issue arises.

Chantel, a 28 years old young lady, who is suffered from some serious mental health issues for a long term, which influences her life heavily. She used to receive the medical treatment in hospital and she has been seeing some professionals in this clinic for about 6 years, additionally, she also had been on an Inpatient Treatment Orders (ITO). During this first session, Chantel expressed her worrisome about the privacy at the beginning, however, she would like to share her stories in a secure and confidential environment. After she felt comfortable and secure, she disclosed her mental health issues, life history, family background, living conditions as well as her social network, etc. She also explained in detail about the cause of her current troubles and her expectations in the future. Therefore, I, as a social worker in the Community Mental Health Clinic, just finished the first session with Chantel, will make a holistic

An insulin injection is used to control blood sugar in people who have type 1 or type 2 diabetes when the body lacks insulin production. Type 1 diabetes is when the body does not make insulin and cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood. Type 2 diabetes is when the body cannot produce or use insulin normally to lower the high blood sugar level. Insulin cannot be taken by mouth because it is a protein. The acid in the stomach would digest the insulin. An insulin injection stops the pancreas from producing more sugar and helps move the excess sugar from the blood to other body tissues where they can be used for energy. More than one type of insulin may be injected and is usually injected several times a day. Even though insulin helps

Casey’s parents both work full time and report having little free time. Training for PECs for the first phase is only about 2 days, (PCE site) much shorter than sign so they might consider the training. Presently they have to strain to hear her handful of word approximations or be led to what she wants, or needs. Her frustration and disgruntlement are due in part to not being able to make her needs known, which often results in meltdowns. Dealing with her behaviours must be time consuming for Casey’s parents and others (relatives, support worker, and etc.).

The client is currently dissatisfied with employment status because there is much to be done in taking care of her younger sister and at home with her other family. She also has no stable financial support besides the scholarship which makes things difficult for her.

The subject that I chose for this assignment is Robert. I have decided on Robert because he is family. I want to promote the significance of family health starting within my own family.

There were several helping skills used in my case study that allowed me to properly assess and treat John and his family. The first helping skill I used was the family systems. As a human service practitioner, systems theory, permits me to take into account the entire “system” with which an individual interacts. This system allowed me to look at the entire dynamic of John’s case. John interacts on a daily basis with his parents, younger brother, new-born sister, teachers, and classmates.
