During my undergraduate career, I worked with the Martin Center. The Martin Center is located in Indianapolis, IN, It is a center for Sickle Cell patients to receive help in terms of finances, food supply, mental health, transportation, and various forms of assistance needed. The Organization is struggling terribly with recognition, receiving sufficient funds, and providing services to patients due to a lack of resources. This project focused on creating awareness of the organization, and also how to increase the funds the organization receives.

My main reason for applying to the Simmons School of Social Work is that it is an accredited university with an excellent reputation as an educational institution and offers an MSW program that is predominantly online. I attended Thomas Edison State University online and earned my bachelor’s degree with a GPA of 3.9. Once I made the decision to continue my education, I searched for MSW programs that were available online with CSWE accreditation in compliance with New Jersey State social work licensure. I found that Simmons’s specialized program in clinical social work is well suited for my educational needs.

As I observed the N.A. group, I compared Hepworth 's, Direct Social Work Practice, five stages of group development. The Preaffiliation stage involves observation and feeling out the environment of the group; members may be hesitant to speak or test out certain behaviors to see reactions from other members of the group or the facilitator (Hepworth, Rooney, Rooney, & Strom-Gottfried, 2017, 2013). Returning group members greeted each other with hugs, handshakes, pat on the back, while newcomers sat quietly observing others. The facilitator provided an introduction and instructions for participation. Each member was instructed to introduce the first name, state "I am an addict" and take turns reading from the

As a woman diagnosed with social anxiety,I was entrusted to be under the care of a social worker so as to help me manage my disorder. Personally, I have gone through so many experiences which collectively made me develop a deeper insight into the roles of social workers as compared to other health caregivers. Besides that, I have seen a lot of transformative supports to people who have various social problems provided through the selfless care of the social workers. Subsequently, this further fueled my ambition to study and support the most disadvantaged and vulnerable persons in the society. I firmly believe that my motivation towards helping

The client for my behavior change project is my husband, Michael. I chose him for my case study because he gained 23 pounds in the last three years. I met Michael four years ago on Match.com, we got married a year later and had two babies back to back. Needless to say, it was a quite stressful experience. When I met Michael, he was 195 lbs., very athletic, going to the gym every other day, Paleo diet advocate, and practiced mindful eating. So, when the life spun out of control, that’s when he started packing on the pounds. He works as a manager in big corporate office which involves long meetings, phone calls, sitting in front of the computer and some driving. He usually skips breakfast at home, for lunch, he goes out with his colleagues to the local restaurants. Michael is a foodie, he loves eating food from different cultures, but Latin food is his favorite. South Florida is popular for its Latin cuisine with Cuban, Peruvian, Colombian, Argentinian or Mexican restaurants practically on every corner. He loves chorizo, blood sausage, empanadas, chicharrones, flank steak with chimichurri, and lechon. I usually do grocery shopping myself, but when Michael ends up in the grocery store, he always comes back with Cheetos, potato chips, and ice-cream. He is a big fan of football, so every Sunday during the season, his day is spent on the couch in front of the TV, drinking beer and eating junk food. During the basketball season, he watches Heat.

This gentleman was seen for a followup in regards to his low back. He reports no real improvement in his back pain and states he is frustrated with his persistent symptoms. He apparently was seen by Dr. Felt, the rheumatologist, a couple of weeks ago. He was started on a low dose of prednisone but states this has not helped with his pain. His chief complaint is of central low back pain but he also gets some pain radiating into the right thigh. He duplicated his exercise program for me today, but actually only showed me a couple of exercises that he had been prescribed and the other ones were just general calisthenics. He currently is working in the computer shop and states sitting on a hard chair is very uncomfortable for him so he changes positions often. He has a lumbar support but is not wearing that today. He does not feel as if it is really been beneficial. He did use some Biofreeze in the past which gave him some temporary relief of symptoms. There is muscle rub on the canteen list that he can purchase on his own if he would like to continue using that. The patient had a goal of losing 3 pounds but unfortunately, has gained several pounds since his last appointment here.

At approximately 1400hrs on Wednesday, March 16,2016 I arrived at 7810 Shaver Rd for my internship with the Portage Department of Public Safety. I entered the station and put on my vest for my ride along. I then proceeded to the sergeant's office where I received the name of the officer I would be riding with for the day. I was scheduled to ride with Officer Vanportfleet for the day. Vanportfleet was on a call at the time so I went with Officer Dmoch. The First thing that we did was go to a neighborhood watch meeting for millim meadows. Jason was the owner and he talked about how they would be implementing the Silent Observer Program for the residents to help deter crime in the neighborhood. He also talked about the new security cameras that they would be installing

As the saying goes, “Our children are our future” and who you are as a child can determine who you can be later on in life. It is important for a child to be in a safe, comfortable and loving environment during its development so that the child can have the full advantage to become the best he can be in his future. My future career as a social worker will ensure just that. I chose this profession because of my own history. Growing up, I’ve had my share of social workers in my house. I experienced them as people who helped my family during a hard time. This is a career where I can fight for people’s rights. I will also be able to protect
