A Short Note On The Women Care Counseling Center

and the Providence Hospital had to take all the responsibilities of funding the agency many budget cuts had to be done in order for the agency to stay open. Due to the lack of funds the majority of the employees had to be laid off, the English teacher and the parenting class teacher had to be let go, also they had to move Mobile from Semmes. Because of this changes the number of individuals the agency can serves has become lower, the agency relies on volunteers to help with the interpretation in medical appointments. (S. Vaca-Diez, personal communication, November 12, 2014). The agency accepted Social Work students from the University of South Alabama to do their internship with them. The author started her internship for the fall semester of 2014. While on the agency, the intern’s job was to schedule appointments, interpretate in medical appointments every Monday and Wednesday at the women health center, or at other via phone with medical appointments and governmental interviews the rest of the days. The intern meet her client “Susana” for the first time, when she was seeking help scheduling an appointment for the women health center to get a pregnancy test. Since that first meeting the intern was assigned to “Susana’s” case.

Before this class I believed men and women’s gender roles in society were strictly defined. As I gained more knowledge from the Critical Thinking Reader, The Grapes of Wrath, and my research project, I learned that gender roles change based on an individual’s environment, socio-economic standing, and societal norms/expectations. These resources helped clarify that men and women’s roles in society are interchangeable and there are no definite lines or barriers that keep them from fulfilling all roles, that being said men and women can also remain stuck in the roles society has traditionally seen them in.

I conducted an in person interview at Deaconess Cross Pointe, 7200 East Indiana Street; Evansville, Indiana 47715. I interviewed Natalie Goffinett, who has achieved her Master’s Degree in Social Work, and counsel’s children and families at that facility. When setting the appointment to interview Ms. Goffinett, I offered her the option to conduct the interview either in person or over the telephone. Ms. Goffinett and I agreed that an in person interview would be best if I wanted to have the opportunity to tour the facilities, as well as develop a sense for inpatient and outpatient environments. Deaconess Cross Pointe is a

The center provides services for children, adolescents, teens, adults, and elderly. Age ranges from birth until the time death. Services are open to all cultures that are seeking services. Each client and family members are able to receive individual counseling sessions, family counseling sessions, attend group meeting, attend workshops, and classes as often as they want at no charge.

On Sunday October 23rd at midday I had the opportunity to interview Dr. Marie Hobart from Community Healthlink. For over twenty-four years Dr. Marie Hobart has been an employee of Community Healthlink as a psychiatrist and for the last ten to twelve years as the Chief Medical Officer of CHL. She is also an employee of UMasss Memorial Healthcare, and a clinical associate professor of psychiatry. Dr. Hobart 's work with CHL focuses on "people with serious and persistent illness, developmental disabilities, and addiction" and her goal in addition to helping patients one-on-one is to help create "a system of care for people who are traditionally not able to access care in other ways" (Hobart). Dr. Hobart explained that she always wanted to work in health, and "working with people in the community" leading her to become a public psychiatrist in the city of Worcester, Massachusetts. As Dr. Hobart works in the Worcester public health sector as both a practicing physician and an administrator, her dual roles create a unique position as an agent of direct community support and an advocate for changes to the public medical system. Dr. Hobart is a medically focused community organizer and her work is most easily tied to the Women-Centered model of community development (Stall, Stoecker; 202). Her desire to see greater connections between medical assistance and social aid, as well as, her work that recognizes the social factors that lead to health problems illustrates how she is an

The professional counselor’s job title I interviewed is a Program Counselor for the Women’s Mental Health Unit at Riverside General Hospital. The types of services and programs she offers as a counselor for the women’s mental health unit are: substance abuse counseling with in-house residents, detoxification, transitional living for the women’s unit, outpatient program, and mental health counseling. She also aids in helping her clients in gaining custody of their children.

The extent and degree of information and detail written in this article about each represented author and their contributing works can ultimately be seen as one of the articles main strengths. However, although this article gives a vast amount of information on the women’s opinions and beliefs the article at times seems disassembled and erratic. The flow of the article is somewhat hard to follow, and without an increased measure of concentration, the ability of the reader to comprehend and decipher whom the author is speaking of can be lost. Also, with the extensive amounts of information and detail that each female author contributes to the argument, readers are bombarded with data to interpret and distinguish upon. With the author of the article not decisively choosing the strongest points of argument from each author, the information becomes overwhelming and possibly confusing at times.

Throughout her academic career, Ms. Wilson has embodied the values of the Anne and Henry Zarrow School of Social. Her life of hardships and social injustice she has devoted her life to caring for the needs of others. As a result of her being in a sandwich generation, she has learned the impact of counselors and case workers have in a hospital setting. She has taken advantage of hospital resources to elevate the stressors of the cost of care and treatments.

Interview paper with a Counselor (Rebecca Alexander), and a Social Worker (Mina McVeigh). This interview is for Mrs. Scott’s online class.

For the purpose of this essay, I will refer to the aforementioned placement as “Brampton Lodge” in order to maintain anonymity. During the first few weeks of my placement as I was finding my feet and settling in, I found myself at a loss as to what to do as there were only female service users present. Due to policies in place at Brampton Lodge, female service users could only receive personal care from female support workers. This was not much of a concern to me as it was necessary for me to remain mindful of the individual at question’s privacy, dignity and personal preferences. However, in the forthcoming weeks as male residents began to arrive, I found myself becoming more directly involved within their personal care.

Staff met with Treating Therapist Patrice Davis to discuss IVP/IRP Breanne's progress to date. Patrice elaborated to Staff that Breanne needs continued support in locating employment. Patrice and Staff both agreed that finding employment would do wonders to help boost her ego. Patrice also informed Staff that Breanne was no longer staying in the shelter, due to a curfew violation. Patrice informed Staff that Breanne was now staying back home with her mother's home. Staff indicated that there was possibly some enabling behavior by mother that encouraged her early departure from women’s shelter. Staff noted that Breanne’s silence regarding her shelter status coupled with her mother indecisiveness may be a sign that some enabling is taking

There are a few problems identified with the women's center. In listing these problems, the focus will be on addressing one or two of the identified problems. The first issue is the name of the center, while the center has open up its doors to all populations, men, women, and children. The name of the agency remains the same. This may be causing problem in the attracting the right clients and also leaving out other groups like the LGBT and transgender population. Another issues faced by this agency is the lack of necessary resources, tools and technologies to run an counseling facility in a diverse and growing community. The center lacks the most basic tool to run a counseling center, and upgraded computer systems is needed to properly track

The definition of gender roles is a set of societal norms dictating what types of behavior is generally considered acceptable based on the gender of a person. Additionally, if you don’t seem to accept this standard, there can be huge consequences. For example, in India, women are viewed as a burden and a “extra mouth to feed.” Her status promotes the idea that men can treat them in a subdued manner. If they don’t comply to these requirements, then a woman is murdered by her husband or his family by being set alight by a flammable liquid, which is usually known as bride burning. Herland, by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, also uncovers the harsh inequality of women. Gender roles shouldn’t be real and they were forced on us by society.
