Wednesday, Today was a slow day, but very education. I am finding that out that my time at CTLC is better spent wathing then actually doing things. When I walked into the doubdle door facilty I seen the usual faces, and I greated them as I made my way back to my little small cubicl office. When I arrived at my office about two minutes after greeting several people, I noticed a small green sticky note that was on my desk from te day prior. The note was to remind me about the homeless alliance meeting in the chamber of commerce in temple TX. I completely forgot about it, so I had to replan my day out in order to mame the meeting. I was a little upset about replanning my day, because I plan to go to the gym at three oclok today. I guess thatnot …show more content…
Not because it is the last ay befire th week end. But because I get to practice coulsing with the clients one on one while Mr. kris watched me. Just like clock work I waled into the facilty, greeting the staff and made my way back to my office. As usul ms. Kros tested me on some of the questions that was on the social worker exam. But this time instead of only getting six out of ten correct. I got all of them correct, personally I don’t count them though. Only because they were easy question such s what do you d if a client tells you have feeling for you? While me and mS. Kris were habig a cpnversation about the test one of the staff mmebr came in to tel us that the prison her were here. To my surprise there was onky one prisoner present which is probably why Ms. Kris tol me on Monday that I had to wait until Friday to conduct thery by myseff. The prisoners was a male hispanis aproxamilty the age of twenty four. His prior arrest was for drug distributouion., I was shcok hat he told me what his rrst wa for because most prisoner try not to disclose that. This particular gentleman was proud of what he did and he said that now that he is out he is going ot do the same thibng. It was like he didn’t care that he could go back to jail. I am frighten of jail, but this man wasn’t , he was only 5 10 and about one 165 punds. I thought he was a skinny, guy. In my head all I could thin was that jail must not be what it use to be . it seems like not one if afraid of jail anymore. This indicidual did not want to hear anything thst I had ti say, I asked him how was his day and his response was can I egt my free ciehts now. I asked him what did he like to do and his response was figh people. Ms. Kris intervened and stop the session, because it was clear that he did not want to be here. Ms. Kris said that if a client does not want to talk to a therapist do not make hi. This remined me of a discussion that I had this week
The three health officials will also be required to critique the social worker's form of being an assistance to the top three health care officials in the program as well as the patients who are receiving treatment. With the social workers being trained by the top three health care officials. The social workers in the facility will be taught to have passion for the rehabilitation of the inmates and are strongly encouraged to have a positive influence on the inmates as they help the mentally ill inmates cope with their internal issues. Social workers will be required to train the correctional officers as to recognizing any suspicious actions. Also the correctional officers will be trained by the correctional facility on how resolve most conflicts involving an inmate and the staff by use of his or her voice rather than using physical violence which could worsen the mental status of the inmate. Any suspicious actions or mood swings should be monitored by any part of the staff, much of the prison population dealing with mental health issues end up committing
Hello my dear friend! I hope you are doing well. I am just writing to let you know that I finally started my semester at STCC. As you know, I missed the last two semesters due to situations that got out of my hands. I have a new job, but I also switched to Liberal Arts. At the moment, I am enrolled as a full-time student. My husband says I might regret it, because it can get overwhelming for me due to the language barrier, and having too much in my plate. Although, he might be right about having too much; I will do my best to finish this semester with good grades. One of the classes I signed up to is History-110, section E80. My professor’s name is John Diffley. I do not know him yet since it is my first week in school, but he seems to love
I updated client’s identification number given to the clients by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) in the profile, write down my questions and discussed it with my supervisor the reason the numbers are being updated from time to time.
Today was a boring day her at CTL. I spend the whole day counseling recently released prisoner from a local organizations. Normally I only have about three or four , but today I had ten. Out of all of the cases these was one that I could not wrap my finger around. The case consisted of a twenty fur year old man who was just released from prison three days ago. A lot of people always asked me if I am scared to talked to recently released prisoners. I don’t know why people always think that I am in danger because of my occupation. To be honest the prisoners are more scared of me than I am of them they don’t know what to expect. The first thing that they always say is what doe they think their chances of being accepted by sociality

Working afterschool at my family’s business while doing homework and playing sports allowed me to manage my time and my priorities. Whether joining NCSSM’s Residential or Online program, I will be able to welcome it will loving responsible hands into my schedule. Not only would I work hard into committing to my future and current education but also for the community that makes me who I am through volunteering and projects. I won’t just try to squeeze these opportunities into my schedule but allow myself to allot a piece of my agenda for it so I can give it my all towards it. NCSSM Residential program allows me to clubs and sports on the same campus as where I learn and, in addition, lays in the center of Durham, a city full of opportunities.
I feel that after my experiences within the classroom of Social Work classes, and interning at Monroe County Probation has altered my views of the general public and those under supervision in a positive manner. Prior to engaging in social work classes I feel I had a very closed mindset about the perspectives of the world. At this point in my life I feel that I am able to have a professional approach when dealing with clients and people under supervision with the impression of working with clients in a helping atmosphere while incorporating the policies of Corrections into on-the-job scenarios. Dealing with clients at probation has shown me how to work with clients and avoid personal biases and act in a professional manner while showing empathy and properly providing resources for the client. I feel that whomever you work with whether it be a probation client or an inmate within the prison, if they understand that you are there to help them and not to hurt them that they will generally respect you on a daily basis. Creating positive relationships with clients/inmates will create a helping atmosphere I believe and in essence create a positive working environment. Certainly, I will be dealing with
At this situation I should have reiterated the limits of confidentiality just in case he did tell me something that was a violation. This could have potentially led to a break in our therapeutic relationship. They know the limits however they tend to blame mental health when they feel like they were “set-up” to be written up. Well like I mentioned I was cool with this inmate. She’s cool but she does get into a lot of problems. I always have to step in and protect her. I see her as a woman and I hate for a male inmate to beat her up. I try to diffuse many of her problems. Anyways the rest of the inmates assumed that we were dating since we had moved in together. She became overprotective of me, which is not a bad thing I just saw it as two cellie’s
(C) C100 Reflection. The purpose of this executive summary (EXSUM) is to provide a personal reflection of CGSOC C100 block of instruction. C100 has provided for me an objective view of my overall writing, speaking and thinking skills. For writing, I feel I need to commit extra time and seek remedial assistance to help develop my writing skills to the Army's expected level of writing. With speaking, I must continue to develop confidence and not rely solely on handwritten notes and be the subject matter expected during my briefs. In addition, I must always be aware of the purpose of my brief and the audience that I am giving the brief to. Thirdly, in my critical and creative thinking, I must expand my level of thinking. During C100, I learned
At first the inmates went straight into the library while the rest of us stayed in the Chaplin’s office. As time went on and the inmates gathered their books and magazines they eventually came into the office where we were and sat down. They do not have any soft seating areas in the cells so this gives them a chance to sit on a nice comfy couch. Neither the inmates nor any of us said anything right away; however, after a while we spread out and began conversing with the inmates. The reason I think everyone was quiet at first was because it is sometimes hard to talk to strangers, but once people became comfortable both groups seemed fairly calm around each other and it did not feel like a stereotypical situation. I don’t think anyone felt nervous or scared to be around the inmates, but rather intrigued by their stories, whether they were true or not. A lot of the inmates we talked to were considered high risk meaning they are known for recidivism. This means that there is a chance they may have lied about some of their stories like going to college or why they were in their, because majority have gotten good at lying or did not want to say why they were actually back in jail. One of the factors that allowed us to talk to these inmates was supervision of them while outside their cell. When talking to the inmates I did not expect to have such easy conversations. I was unsure of whether or
My involvement in Asian Pacific Health Corps has provided me with insight into the health needs of my community. Prior to volunteering at the health fairs, I was unaware of how many people lack health insurance or a doctor that they could regularly visit. Furthermore, performing blood pressure and body mass index screenings have provided me experience with interacting with patients. Educating patients about their screening results have prepared me to be a future physician who takes the time to understand each patient’s learning style and simplifies health topics to ensure understanding.
Throughout this semester at GTCC I have been learning so many new and interesting things. I have especially learned much about the nursing program. I learned what the requirements are o get in the program, what is expected from nursing students, what classes to take, and most importantly what steps to take. Being new to college I thought every nurse had to have a minimum of a four year degree to become a nurse. However, I have learnt that one can graduate with an associate's degree in nursing and if they pass the NCLEX state exam, they then become a registered nurse.
I'm not feeling very good about this. I feel like I did something horrible even though I didn’t do what they assumed I did. My body feels very cold, tired, and I am shivering, although my face feels warm and cozy. I see scratches on the walls from the past people who have been here, waiting for their inevitable interrogation, and possibly sentencing. I am by myself in this cell. I feel very annoyed, as me being at the party put me in this position in the first place. I’ll make sure to think twice before hanging out with them again. I really hope that a person that actually did an illegal thing doesn’t get placed in the same jail cell that I am in right now, or that would be pretty uncomfortable. I can hear the conversations of the check-in
Today was my second time meeting Senior Agent Wood. We had a chance to discuss our backgrounds, goals and what we wanted out of this experience. I found out that she specializes in working with women that are new releases and family drug treatment court participants. I will intern on Mondays (office days), Wednesdays (Milwaukee Women’s Correctional Facility) and Fridays (Family Drug Treatment Court). On my first day, Agent Wood and I met with Supervisor Clemmons to discuss a revocation packet that was sent back from the regional office because it needed one correction. Agent Wood was transferring out all her male parolees to other agents. It was Wednesday, and we were going to do a staffing (picking up new women to supervise) at the MWCC. Before
I really enjoyed going to this event. I have gone to this event in past semesters and enjoy the variety of different levels of signers. There was a guest that came in and he was very funny and entertaining. It was little bit overwhelming because there was so many people, usually there’s only a handful of people. I was able to sign for the last fifteen minutes, but the majority of the time was listening to the stories the guest presented. If I went to this event when I was in ASL 1, I would have been overwhelmed. There were many signs that he used that I learned towards the end of ASL 2 and currently now in ASL 3. If I went to this event in ASL 1, I wouldn’t know what he was saying, but rather I would be watching his expressions for keys in following the stories he was signing. If I had gone to his event in ASL 2, I would feel
