Case Study Of Client's Services

Helen Stonewall is a married 32-year-old African American female. Helen was brought into see me because she had to be removed from the middle of the street by the police where she was dancing in the middle of the city street half naked at 2am without having any sense of danger. Just before that she removed from a bar where she was dancing on the table and ignoring the bartenders request to get down. Helen had consumed only two drinks before these acts were committed her medical evaluation concludes that there was no excessive use of drugs. She said, “that she was high on life”.

The research topic Foster Care is the topic that has been proclaimed. The research question begins with, “What are some of the challenges facing the placement, and adjustment of Foster Care in the Valley?” This study is important because there are several challenges that are difficult for a Foster child facing being in Foster care. It is important in Social work that the Government with a Social worker must be responsible for taking away the child who is either being physical or sexual abused, neglected, or not being taken care of by their primary caregivers. In this type of situation, the child will be put into Foster care. It is key to understand the big challenges each child entering Foster care might have already experienced in the past

Not all clients are resistant, not all organizations are uncooperative, not all communities are hopeless, and not all families are dysfunctional. I remember having a foster family my supervisor and I had a visit with while completing in-home visits. The purpose of this visit was to check-in with a client who we had recently placed there due to leaving their previous foster home for drug possession. When my supervisor and I met with the family we did not expect the report that we received on that day. The foster mother reported that she enjoyed having the client in the home and that she views them as one of her own biological children. My supervisor and enjoyed this visit because we were able to see how the family and the client got along. When the client first entered the Department of Social Services they had trust issues and was struggling with their anger. In my opinion, the client was angry and had trust issues because of the relationship they had with their biological mother. After seeing the client in the home with their new foster family the client was responsive to questions and reported that they enjoyed living with the family. They stated, “It feels good to finally be in a home where people actually seem to care about my well-being.” By hearing the client’s statement and observing them in the foster home I felt joy that my supervisor and I was able to find a home where their needs are being

In the past few decades there has be an increasing amount of children placed in the foster care system. With the amount of rising teen pregnancies and maternal drug abuse means increasing numbers of infants abandoned at birth. There have been many cases of child abuse or neglect that have been on the rise. State and local agencies are unable to suitably supervise foster homes or arrange adoptions. Statistics show that many children will spend most of their childhood and teenage years in the foster care system, which has shown to leave emotional scars on the child. Today, Child Welfare groups are looking for federal funding and legislation to increase programs and services aimed at keeping families together.

A family partnership meeting (FPM) is a “deliberate and structured approach to involving youth and families in decision-making through a facilitated meeting of family, their identified supports and professionals working with the family” (Family Partnership Meetings, 2013). Virginia Department of Social Services uses FPM to engage families in the decision-making process when a child is at risk of coming into foster care, foster home placement disruption, and permanency planning (Family Partnership Meetings, 2013). With that said, foster parents are considered as professional members of the multidisciplinary team, working together to meet the needs of foster children (Child Welfare League of America, 2008). This

Not every area or community is involved in what is known as wraparound services, but word on the program and its success rate especially in the foster care community is starting to make waves. Most major cities have a Big Brother or Big Sisters where people in the community volunteer to mentor a youth or adolescent that have a hard home life or are in the foster care system, in order to help guide them down a righteous path towards a gratifying adulthood. Wraparound services are beginning to be built into TF-CBT treatment plans, this service helps children with emotional and behavioral issues who have experienced severe trauma in their lives begin to heal and start connecting with others in their community. These services are especially useful

Foster children struggle immensely within healthcare and the foster care system. They are not receiving the correct support to help them when they go out into the real world.Within foster care, children and teens can either go into a foster home or a group home. Group homes can prevent permanent and authentic connections, while in foster homes, adolescents experience abuse and they are aware that there is no long term stability. For fifteen years, Betsy Krebs has worked with teens in the foster care

The chosen population of interest for the course project is children who are placed in foster care. Children in foster care are considered vulnerable due to a variety of reasons for which they are taken away from home and placed in the child welfare system. Foster care children are often removed from their home due to physical abuse, drug exposure, or in some cases due to parental inability to fulfill the child basic necessities. Foster care children are at greater risk of mental, health, and behavioral problems (Lovie, Beadnell, & Pecora, 2015). Case management is an essential part of the care plan to improve the outcomes of the population of interest. Foster care children face additional problems when the health care system is inadequate.

Good or Service: Mr. Gulash lived in Shelton, Connecticut. He wanted an above-ground swimming pool installed in his backyard. Gulash contacted Stylarama, Inc. (Stylarama), a company specializing in the sale and construction of pools. The two parties entered into a contract that called for Stylarama to “furnish all labor and materials to construct a Wavecrest brand pool, and furnish and install a pool with vinyl liners.” The total cost for materials and labor was $3,690. There was no breakdown in the contract of costs between labor and materials. After the pool was installed, its sides began bowing out, the 2” × 4” wooden supports for the pool rotted and misaligned, and the entire pool became tilted. Gulash brought suit, alleging that Stylarama had violated several provisions of Article 2 of the UCC. Is this transaction one involving goods, making it subject to Article 2? Gulash v. Stylarama, 33 Conn.Supp. 108, 364 A.2d 1221, Web 1975 Conn.Super. Lexis 209 (Superior Court of Connecticut) (Cheesman, 2010, p. 292).

One of this disadvantages of foster care, is there is an instability in the system. At times social workers are unaware that the placement of the child was ruled in court for the return of the child to their parents. Another disadvantage is that the transitory environment of the foster placements has been a problematic component in the child welfare system (Crosson-Tower, 2014, p. 316). Some children already experience attachment issues prior to removal from their home. These issues will further advance and creating more problems with the child. Since foster care is a temporary environment for the child, children may adjust to this temporary placement only to be removed and either return home or be placed with another temporary family. These transitions effect the child’s behaviors and emotions. The goal is to provide the child permanency. However, the foster care system is not meant to

The client has had a strong support system in the past and is open to creating another one. This is strength because it demonstrates that the client is open reaching out to others in times of need and is a resiliency factor.

Foster families provide a substitute family life experience to children who have been displaced from their parents for a variety of circumstances. In the foster environment the purpose is to provide a healthy, safe home for the child while the circumstances of their placement in foster care are being resolved, it is intended to be a temporary solution until the child can either be reunited with his or her family, or placed in an adoptive family. Foster parents must be willing to give the child unconditional love and a safe environment to enhance the healing process of the

Your role in the In-Service will be more discussion-oriented. The itinerary I have for the In-Service will feature 8 different activities (mostly video-based) that help other student advisors and ProStaff members familiarize themselves with different concepts of diversity and intersectionality such how white people discuss race, racism within the gay community, male body image issues, etc (I can send you the itinerary I have, if you want). Then you and various other members apart of the Truman community who apart of the panel will share their knowledge and experience about concepts of diversity, factors they related to or wanted to expand on that were featured in the videos or their own personal experience with how they balance intersectionality of their identities. The whole In-Service should last about an hour to an hour and a half, depending on the audience response (which will other student advisors and ProStaff of Residence Life) with the material. If you have any more questions/concerns. Please let me know. Thank you.

Stability of children with families isn’t the only issue. It is also a major issue of concern within the foster care system as casework instability is quite extreme too. In one study, 35% of young people reported having in excess of five case-workers assigned to them. Children and teens need continuity and stability with their caseworker in order to build an effective relationship, to build trust and security for them. (McDowall,

One way Maurice William’s faces problems in the foster homes is to have a meeting with every foster parent under their program every three months. In this meeting, all issues are discussed in great length and an appropriate procedure to deal with each specific problem are agreed upon and implemented so that the problems do not come up
