A Study For The Children 's Aid Society

Internal conflict is something that the transgender community knows all too well. Feeling as though you are living in the wrong body can do serious damage to the way that someone sees themselves. One of the hardest time for transgender teens is puberty. Researchers have said that “This is a particularly hard age, since the body begins to change and adapt gender specific features (breasts, changes in genitals, menses, etc..). Transgender individuals have reported “I was disgusted by (hair, breasts…etc)” (Ami B. Kaplan, 2014). It already puts a child or teen under great stress to see themselves living life as a gender they feel is completely wrong, but, as puberty begins to hit and they see this body changing it only increases that self-hatred that slowly builds. Even though transitioning can be the best decision a transgender person might make, it can still be just as difficult to finalize this. Many transgender youth have said that they have “Fears about finding a partner, feelings about having to experience surgeries, hormones, (and for MTF transsexuals) facial hair removal and voice changes, and fears about violence and prejudice when one is read transgender”(Ami B. Kaplan, 2014). Even when the option to transition arises, doubt may still linger. Some transgender youth that have gone through with transitioning face many issues emotionally such as “Disappointment that transitioning didn’t solve all problems, level of satisfaction with appearance, level of satisfaction

When working with individuals with physical disabilities the TTM model can vary according to how the individual’s culture recognized their disability (Boston, 2015). Gender roles can also affect the process of change (Boston, 2015). The helper needs to empathize with the disabled person to understand how they feel about their disability and the cultural belief system of the client, in an effort to assist the client (Boston, 2015). When a counselor is working with a transgendered person, the helper needs to adjust the model to include the client’s level of social acceptance (Carroll, 2002). The social situation with a transgendered client may not be one of tolerance, therefore the helper needs to be aware of this and balance between the clients needs and the social environment the client occupies (Carroll, 2002). Finally, when working with clients from various populations, the experience should be unique and the therapist should work to help the client feel accepted and understood, the various models can be modified or adjusted to better fit the

“One believes things because one has been conditioned to believe them” this quote written by Aldous Huxley accurately describes the impact parents have on their children. When parents aid their transgender children in transitioning into the opposite sex they are committing child abuse; changing sex is unsafe, indecent, and permanent. Over the course of a month, I have been a slave to the library. I have read over 30 articles on transgenderism; The basis of my opinion comes from well-sifted through research. The definition of child abuse is the mistreatment of a child by physical, sexual, or emotional ill-treatment or neglect, especially by those responsible for his or her welfare. Parents of transgender kids are neglecting what they need

Scholars have been critical of the medical establishment’s and state’s involvement in constructing and policing of transgender identity. These kinds of pressing issues have occupied the small existing literature. There is not much information and studying what is being done on transgender in traditional areas, family studies research, such as their dating behavior and formation of intimate relationships in adulthood. There is little research on the issues around being parents, their children’s experiences with having transgendered parents, as well as relationships in the family as a whole, and relationships in work and school.

The Child Study data I have gathered comes from the observation I have completed at Mission Bell Elementary School. Mission Bell Elementary School is a local school in Riverside. In the P.M preschool class there are 24 students, one teacher, and one assistant. The child I decided to observe is names Zoe. Zoe is 4 years and 10 months old. I immediately was drawn to Zoe because she had such a big personality, was very social, and smart. I am glad that I choose to observe Zoe because she was able to make my observation process smooth and easy. While observing her I had to pay close attention to her biosocial development, motor skills, cognitive skills, communication skills,

The Birmingham Children's Crusade, a march by hundreds of school students, boys and girls of all ages in Birmingham, Alabama. The students began the march on May 2-5, 1963. This march was during the Civil Rights Movements of the Birmingham Campaign. Students marched to fight against segregation in Birmingham, Alabama. For African- American children in Birmingham, the Civil Rights Movement was part of the children's lives everyday, an important part in history, that changed the way life is today. As a group of audacious kids, they fought against fire hoses, police dogs, police batons, and bombs, and they decided, blacks, whites, and other races, should be integrated, and equaled as a whole. The Birmingham Children, were arrested and beaten in order for Birmingham integration, for not only blacks, but other races as well. The kids

Transgender youth are children and adolescents who consider themselves transgender or transsexual. Transgender youth are usually dependent on their parents for care, shelter, financial support, and other needs. Transgender youth face different challenges compared to adults and other hetereosexual youth. Transgender issues can arise at different times in life and be experienced differently for each individuals. Many of these children experience rejection as a result of their differences and quickly attempt to repress them creating self hate and isolation. People may see these children regularly and be unaware that they are unhappy as members of their assigned gender by birth.

This paper will address the following topics in relation to applying TA-CBT strategies to Transgender women contending with depression. Why depression is a problem among transgender women, how CBT can be applied to working with women who are dealing with depression, the history and development of CBT, how TA-CBT can be used in practice, and evidence that supports the application of TA-CBT in treating depression among Transgender women. By utilizing a TA-CBT approach when working with clients who identify as Transgender women, Social Workers can reduce the severity and prevalence of depression experienced by this vulnerable population.

Two broader themes of codes were identified, including conflation encounters and reactions to a stigmatization of transgender individuals based on the confounding of sexual orientation and gender identity. The second theme included inter-dependence experiences and identify changes associated with the intersecting relationship of gender and sexuality among transgender individuals. Participants included 45 individuals who identified as transgender and gender non-conforming. Gender and sexuality intersect in different ways for transgender and gender non-conforming

This essay will discuss the impact of social, as well as political views that have shaped contemporary services for children. Legislations such as the Education Act of 1944, the ‘Every Child Matters’ Act introduced by labour in 2003, and also the ‘children’s act’ from 1989 are examples of services put in place to help protect and provide care for all children. In this essay there will also be talks about The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) introduced in 2007, while also linking my points back to the pioneers whose work has contributed majorly to the influences of the modern day understanding of childhood.

Think of a time when people were getting abused or sexually hurt? The Children's Aid Society is a great place to go to provide child protection. This organization is around because many children get bullied and harmed. The Children's Aid Society can help keep children be safer and in live in a better community, with people that will take care of them. The society provides help to families who want extra support. Families often face issues such as addiction, poverty, health challenges and unemployment. Children may be suffering because their financial situation or one of their parents may have a problem such as a disability and are not allowed to take care of their child anymore, due to safety concerns. The society offers programs that will help children in the future. Most of all the Children's Aid Society is about protecting and supporting the children to make sure their families stay together.

In a lot of places around the world more and more people are coming out as “Transgender.” The term transgender means that the person’s gender identity does not correspond with the gender they were assigned as having at birth. From personally having a transgender boyfriend I have since realized that these people experience a lot of discrimination in and from society. Many people simply just do not understand what the term transgender means and they see it as someone just “wants to be a man” or “wants to be a woman.” While there may be people who present it this way, it is more so that the individual just “feels” different, and “feels” as if they are “in the wrong body.” Some people experience this feeling at a young age as my boyfriend did in his elementary age. We live in a world who put these people down for being who they truly are, and no human being wants or needs that.

In some cultures, for example, she says, individuals face less stigma for being transgender than for being homosexual. "No one truly understand what cause a child to want to transgender. Some children are influenced also by trends. Children may also be confused about sexual orientation. There is more acceptance toward to I was born in the wrong body and that is why I like my same sex. Studies also show that children who identify as transgender also change their mind as they mature. Identifying themselves as heterosexual, gay or lesbien instead of

A study was done by Piven (1991) where 81 parents of 42 autistic children and 34 parents of 18 Down syndrome children were assessed using a semi structured investigator based version of the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia lifetime Version which estimated the lifetime risk of psychiatric disorder. It was reported that the lifetime prevalence rate of anxiety disorder were significantly greater in patents of autistic children than in parents of down syndrome children. And the lifetime prevalence rate of major depressive disorder, was nor significantly different in cases and controls, but may be high in parents of autistic children in comparison with populations rates .

The most obvious challenges I have faced living as a transgender male have been physical, but the hardest I have faced have not only been personal, but emotional. I have encountered countless overly personal inquisitions, questioning looks, and awkward introductions. Existing as a biological female for a large portion of my life imbued that period of time with many challenges. As a child, I fought passionately with my parents to shop in the “boys” section of the store, to play hockey and lacrosse, and to never step foot in a dress. I often wondered why other children would point and snicker at my choice of clothing. I even asked my distraught mother why I was “put in the wrong body” at the age of three. I had to grow up and not only learn, but understand and accept that I am not the same as everyone else. I had to come to terms with the fact that most people do not face the challenge of waking up every day and overcoming the feeling that something is fundamentally “off” that cannot truly be “fixed”. “Average” is a description I often longed to be labeled in the past, but over the years I have discovered that striving to be above average is the true key to success.
