Family Group Community Analysis

Bri Crowl is a Licensed Professional Counselor, that agreed to volunteer her time to participate in my workshop. She would be working with students in groups for the discussion portion of the workshop. Bri’s educational background begins with her attending Portland State University, where she received a Bachelor’s degree in criminology and the criminal justice system. She continued her education and received her Master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling at Walden University. She currently works in Kerrville, Texas with a company called K’star, as a family specialist. She has a previous work experience, as a counselor at New Hope Counseling center, outreach consultant at a youth family services center. As well as experience as a therapeutic

In my opinion I think this article is well done but there are a few issues. One of the issues is that she does not have the experience she is just a teacher. Another issue is that she misses a few points on why the teens have done their crimes like their family backgrounds and other issues in their life. So basically it is a good article but there is no experience with the lady.

My paper talks about the five general sociology concepts that I learned to using my family. I picked my family because I think they were the most relatable and easy group that would be more beneficial and knowledgeable to discuss regarding the concepts. My family consist of a father, mother, two boys, and a girl, not including me. My parents speak three languages and my siblings only speak one due to the language influence while they were in school. Culture is very important to my family not only the language, and attire but the values of what the culture teaches. Such as, the man being the head of the household and everything must run through him. The woman is taught to cook, clean and take care of the things inside the household. The kids

The attendees include probation officers, police officer, principals, teachers and counselors. Each facilitator will attend the restorative justice conference. According to Julie at the conference for restorative justice attendees saw connections and the ability to support one another with conferencing. The volunteers said, ‘I would come to your school and run a conference if you wanted someone absolutely outside the direct community of the school to do that.

Furthermore, my visit to the open Alcoholic anonymous group was very informed and it provided me an understanding and knowledge on this specific population. It provided me an opportunity to understand the process of a group meeting. The impression I had when I left was that even though these people were affected by alcoholic, they are hopefully and determined to overcome this challenge in their life.

The Family Crucible is a story about the Brice family who is recommended by Claudia’s psychiatrist to go to family therapy due to the fact that she has not been making any progress in individual psychotherapy. The Brice family comes in to meet with Dr. Carl Whitaker and Dr. Augustus Napier, who co-facilitate family therapy throughout the entirety of the book.

While reading The Family Crucible, the authors made it feel like I was watching a life-time television series. There were several high points and low points during the family therapy session that left me unsure of how the show would end. This book takes you on a journey using family counseling to help a family heal and communicate better with one another. I thought it was interesting how this systematic therapy took place in a time where therapy was looked at as taboo. Many times in that era family therapy was not an option. The main focus was on the family member with the issue and not on the parents or other family members. In the book the authors used different theories and approaches during the counseling sessions which were quite interesting. This process after time enabled the family to look at the journey they were on in order to understand how the family, as a whole, should function.

The information that the author provides about true crime and real life is powerful. Although at times some of the material is graphic, I think the harshness is what some readers need to hear so that it grabs their attention. It is easy to get twisted up in the day to day living, everyone in their own bubbles, people tend to get relaxed with their surroundings and forget that danger could possibly be just a foot away. People can’t stay at home because they are afraid of the outside world, but they can arm themselves with tips and information that Sargent Dianna Thomas gave. Be aware, be smart, and live long. This book should go great with the topic of the class, or at least I hope it does, I would like to be able to discuss these topics

As I mentioned in my reflection last week, I attended a Juvenile Court Diversion meeting on Thursday. Four trained volunteers from the Dover community make up the “Diversion Committee”. The committee members meet with first-time offenders of non-violent crimes who under the age of 18 who live in Dover. After asking the offender to describe what they did and to take responsibility for their actions, the committee talks privately about how to best hold this individual accountable. After coming to an agreement, the offender and the committee members form a contract that outlines tasks and/or expectations for the offender to meet. The creator of this program and director for the Dover Teen Center, Steve, also attends.

In both countries theirs an average happiness in there face. Since, both families have obtain there needs in each day. Also, both families have an important thing to accomplished which is have food for the children. Even, this hard word shows how they have to overcome some obstacles to reach there resources. The outcome of the results makes them remain content with what they accomplished. This hard work may not be easy but, the important thing is to work hard to reach the goals and never stop trying harder.

After a thorough review of the textbook and the course material, the specific family system approach that I choose to explore is the Bowenian Approach for this literature review. This specific family system approach is also known as the Bowen Family System Theory as well (D.V. Papero, 2006). The Bowen Family System Theory was established by Murray Bowen, a theorist and psychiatrist who specialized in treating children who were deranged and had schizophrenia (Rockwell, 2010). In the 1950s, Bowen wanted to explore a new venture so he decided that he wanted all of the family members of each child to be involved in an therapeutic process at the same time (Rockwell, 2010).

On the night that I attended, the topic of the evening was on transgender issues; various members came forward to discuss their current concerns, as well as parents of transgender children seeking advice from the LGBTQ community. Overall, I was impressed with the support structure present, and how comforting the meeting was for people who were experiencing a vast range of emotional turbulence.

Incorporating instruments from around the globe, such as drums, cowbells and even chairs, percussionist Ken Bergmann’s popular family-oriented show is sure to entertain as he takes the audience on a hysterical journey through the sound effects of Hollywood. Other highlights include an unconventional look at the computer age, a drummer gone amok and for no apparent reason, a cymbal-clanging monkey.

(3) A challenge that seems to be prevalent in elder abuse is that it flies under the radar. A lack of awareness and preparation appears to be the culprit, so the abuse may be missed by people who are able to help because they did not know what to look for, or how to intervene. Therefore, I thought it was a good idea to give law enforcement agencies a seminar on abuse against older adults and the implementation of the app for officers who are not able to take a class since they are usually the first responders in an abuse case. Also, the idea

When people hear the word family they automatically think mother, father, brother, sister etc. When people hear the word small groups they automatically think friends, peers, or five or less people. The word family means a lot to some people because they are the people that love and support you know matter what the situation is. While on the other hand the word small groups involve friends or peers that a person associate themselves with besides their family.
