Feed My Sheep Research Paper

Professional counselors and their staff are exposed to sensitive client information and records. The helpful receptionist and whose privilege videos, show how to apply both the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics (ACA Code of Ethics) and state board counseling laws to common ethical scenarios. The content explores aspects designed to call attention to favorable and unfavorable skills and techniques in handling such matters. These two videos demonstrate the limitations of confidentiality and privileged information. As a professional counselor one is expected to uphold the principles of confidentiality and privilege according to the ACA Code of Ethics and state laws. One may conclude that the helpful receptionist video shows clear violations of confidentiality. While the whose privilege video indicates the significance of insuring that counselors comprehend state laws and ethics codes pertaining to confidentiality and privilege. Furthermore, counseling professionals are held accountable for violating ethics codes and state laws as well as training staff on informed consent.

It’s important as a counsellor to be non-judgement of a client whether that be around the age, sex, religion, sexuality, culture, disability the counsellor should remain professional at all times, sticking to the equal opportunities act, but also be true to their own limitations regarding the above, for instance I recently counselled a client who brought up the subject that tested me because what they wished to explore I personally am against, from my own personal feelings and values this really pushed my comfort zone, but I feel I was able to be non-judgemental regarding the situation and supported my client on their exploration of it, for me this was a great achievement and gave me a real sense of how things that cross my own beliefs can crop up, I feel I dealt with the situation in a professional manner, it showed me that it’s with experience that you learn whether or not your own beliefs, values and morals can be pushed aside while helping a client.

Do you control your technology, or does it control you? Written in 2002, M.T. Anderson’s Feed shows the world as a technology based society much like the one we live in today. The characters in this book use it an internet like service called the feed to communicate with each other, buy things, and even go to school. The feed in the story not only serves as the main point of conflict, but also symbolizes Anderson’s fear of the future in an age where technology is on the rise.

In appointments, I usually helped her with her taxes, provided emotional support, helped with benefit applications, and sometimes helped her with technology. She has a fairly short attention span because of her pain, medications, and depression and needed help with critical thinking in regards to filing her years of tax paperwork. When I was first passed this client, it seemed to come with an attitude of "I am sorry I have to pass this client off to you, she is kind of a pain." After I met with her the first time I was really shocked because I saw her situation from a completely differently. I recognized that she needed help, and even though her concerns were a bit unconventional, we had the resources available to help her. We had months of productive work together, and towards the end of the placement, our receptionist was very forward in telling me that I needed to discontinue working with her because "we did not provide the services she needed help with" and that she was essentially draining our resources. The first time it happened I explained to the receptionist that we have students and volunteers sitting

Monday was a slow day at the office, and I was not given a task by my supervisor to complete. I took the initiative to email everyone in my intake department. My email asked if anyone needed assistance with their cases to contact me. An intake case worker saw my email and told an ongoing caseworker who need assistance. The ongoing caseworker asked if I could assist her with transporting a child from the Perseus shelter to the McKean County Court House. The ongoing caseworker said she did not feel comfortable with transporting her teenage girl client in her car alone. The ongoing caseworker wanted another caseworker to monitor the girl’s behavior. I accompanied the ongoing casework with transporting the youth to court. The

Tara Wilson in her interview with Bary explained, “It’s not a question of whether you’ll see a client at Wal-Mart today, it’s how many clients you’ll see at Wal-Mart today” (Bary, 2016). Counselor need to prepare and talk ahead of time with clients about such scenarios. I also learned that some clients might feel uncomfortable sitting next to their counselor in the community church or in a school meeting when living in such a small town. Moreover, some clients become offended if you tell them you will not acknowledge them in public unless they initiate a conversation first. Instead, it is important to ask the client what they would like to happen when seeing each other in a public

When I first met my client, Jackie Hart, she was in the hospital with a broken hip. She lives alone in a senior apartment complex and she has no family. She was transferred to a nursing home for six weeks of rehab after her hip surgery. Jackie was adamant that she was going to return home after her stay in the nursing home. I got Jackie set up with Comfort Keepers so that once she returned home they would provide a bath aide 3x a week, light housekeeping aide 2x a week, and an aide to transport Jackie to the grocery store 1x a week. Comfort Keepers also set Jackie up with a toilet extender, shower seat, and walker. Jackie is to meet with registered dietician Kim Letts to go over proper nutritional needs to help her gain her strength

In addition to presenting several examples of dual relationships, this paper will also explore how ethical decisions must be made to avoid potentially harmful or exploitive relationships in therapy as well understanding how different interactions between counselor and clients can be understood from an ethical standpoint, as well as how reviewing these ethical dilemmas may shape my future career as a counselor.

Did you know that a sheep can’t get up from its back? If it’s on its back for too long, it will die! Sheep would be an interesting topic to explore because there are a lot of interesting things about them. They also provide us with clothes. Sheep are raised for a few different products, they are very common in the world, they have certain adaptations, and they have many interesting qualities.

Sheep were a very important aspect of people’s lives back in the 1600’s. They raised them to cloth their backs and feed their families. Since then, we have blossomed the sheep industry into a 1000 different breeds, all with different purposes, like growth, wool, meat, and dairy. My family raises a Suffolk-Hampshire mix, along with a few mixed white face that we have bought, but we don’t know their breed(s). Suffolks are a combination of Southdowns and Norfolk. They were bred for meat purposes. Hampshires are a combination of Southdown, Wiltshire Horn, and Berkshire Knot. They are also bred for meat, and high growth rate purposes. Suffolks and Hampshires originate from England, and both have medium wool.

First I introduced myself to her explained that I am a student at Lamar University and I am in the counseling Clinical and Mental Health Counseling, after introducing myself I went over the confidentiality and consent form with her ensuring her that the information will be kept between the two of us, only if there is a harm to self and others I will have to consult with a next to kin such as a family member. According to the code of Ethics, a counselor has the right to make a sound ethical decision that is in the best interest of the clients and public they serve (ACA, 2005). Then I asked her brings her to therapy, she explained to me some issues that she is dealing with on her job that is causing her to have a great deal of stress and she has been on the same job for 19 years and is ready for a change. After listening to her reasons I then explained to her how we would work together to come up with some goals and expectations for her in her sessions to avoid stress. Goal statements are global descriptions of what the final outcome will look like (Jongsma,

In peer counseling it is unethical to break the client’s confidentiality or imposing your own values. Talk to the client to change their behavior and don’t trace them. The moment you break the secrets of the client (his/her confidentiality) it leads to desperation, long-term mental issues or even suicide. But then, if you have to break confidentiality it has to be a matter of life or death but be careful. If you feel the matter is not resolved, approach another person, maybe your teacher. Never bring your religious background in counseling but give the skills that will help them when you are not there. After giving the client an alternative, let the decisions come from them. As a matter of fact in peer counseling every issue is critical, no matter how funny it is. For instance a client may approach you and say he takes too much food, funny as it may sound do not be judgmental. Also every time you have a counseling session, get the best out of the client and help him or her to be a productive
