1 Journal Entry Three Clarice Fels Department of Social Work, Missouri State University SWK 480-898: Social Work Integrative Seminar Dr. Michele Day February 19th, 2023

2 Event This week was more intense than any of my weeks so far. I shadowed the case manager for the Laura’s Home apartment program and visited all residents on that side. Everything went well except with one resident. While going to visit their apartment we noticed alcohol out all over the place. We then had reason to look in the fridge for alcohol and found more of it. This made the resident terribly upset and for our future attempts on interaction they refused to meet with us much less open their apartment door for us. We could have easily just used our spare key to go in, but my boss said, “if we can just walk in whenever we want it makes it feel less like their apartment and makes them feel less independent.” Which made complete sense because we do not want them to feel that way, it would go against the code of ethics now that I think about it. Integration of Social Work Knowledge, Values and Skills Knowledge: When we had to take that alcohol out the resident seemed shocked that we were doing so. “I spent so much money on that and now you are taking it?” We had to tell her that we were going to take it. We would not have gone looking for it, but she had just left it out on the counters for everyone to see. That then gave us probable cause to look elsewhere (like the fridge) for more of it. When anyone drinks underage it makes the adults responsible for them liable to anything that may happen to them. So that is why we had to take it. NASW Code of Ethics 1.01 Responsibility to clients was the first thing that came to my mind. We have a responsibility to them to keep them safe and not have them seriously hurt themselves. ("Social workers' ethical responsibilities to clients," n.d.)
