While on patrol, I was dispatched to Mental Health clinic to meet with MSA Vanessa Reyna. Upon arrival I met up with OFC Figueroa and Reyna and was taken to room 2B108. We were in informed that Veteran Travis Leonard was involved in attraction with his spouse Tracy Leonard, which turned physical when he choked her. I asked the staff if he was under the influence of alcohol or narcotics and was told he use Marijuana two weeks ago.

This natural ability paired with his or her training will make them competent to handle crisis. Incidentally, there will also be those who pursue the human service paraprofessional career field for the wrong reasons and they will not be able to be affective while assisting those in crisis. These individuals could potentially cause more harm than good for the client or clients in crisis. This especially applies in the case of suicide. The following quote supports this idea.

Throughout Acts 1 and 2, Abigail Williams is clearly the most to blame for wrongfully accusing people and begetting lies to save her. She is a malicious and manipulative girl that will do anything to appear as a saint in the community and keep out of trouble, even in harming herself. One of the reasons she is to blame is Abigail Williams’ attempt to kill Elizabeth Proctor. This and hatred eventually led to the arrest of Elizabeth Proctor. Because John’s love for Abigail is still evident, John Proctor was hesitant in going to the court to condemn Abigail until his wife’s arrest.

Within the societal perspective, problems are experienced by clients as a result of changes in the society that has left the client in an unfamiliar situation. A major societal problem that clients are dealing with is homelessness. I have learned that communities are experiencing homelessness on all levels due to high unemployment rates, mental illness and company downsizing and merging responsibilities now. The mental illness concerns are not being attended to adequately which is causing a lot of people to not be able to hold jobs, advance in jobs, etc. Some clients may turn to criminal behavior to make ends meet which causes other problems like clients ending up in the criminal justice system. Other clients who may experience societal changes are veterans who are mentally ill and children who are not able to take care of themselves and are relying on other clients whose dealing with societal issues themselves. These children clients are at a higher risk for domestic abuse, living with family who are dealing with substance abuse or mental health issues such as depression or anxiety.

Most Americans watched Pocahontas the cartoon that Disney created and they believed the story as it is; nevertheless, Price shows the reader that Smith was not with blonde hair, as tall, or fell in love with Pocahontas.

Many individuals at some point during their lives require mental health services in order to enjoy life. Clinical social workers constitute the biggest group of mental health care workers who provide the majority of therapy and counseling services. For instance, professionals aid individuals to ascertain solutions to issues that fall along a continuum from the lack of independent living skills and capacity to cope with quotidian to severe depression and mental illness. Steve Taylor, Clinical Manager at Preferred Family Healthcare located in Trenton, Missouri. Now occupying a laudable position that inspires and encourages students to stay in college and work towards giving back to the community as a social worker. Taylor on many occasions explains the duties of his case managers in a simple but effective educational quote, “teach a man to fish and he will never go hungry, give him fish he will be hungry again.” Instead of doing everything for a person, you are teaching how to do for themselves; this is a very effective way to educate mental health individuals.

The Gospels of Matthew and Luke both commence with the Birth of Jesus, and obtain infancy narratives. However, despite both following the life of Jesus, there are blatant differences evident between their accounts. Contextual, Geographical and historical discrepancies enable Matthew and Luke’s respective audiences to distinguish their writing styles, and choice of subject matter unique to their Gospel accounts. Contextually, the first notable difference presents itself in the angel’s foretelling of Jesus’ incarnation. According to Matthew’s Gospel Jesus’ birth was foretold by an unnamed angel to Joseph in a dream.

Forget all the stereotypes of mental illness. It has no face. It has no particular victim. Mental illness can affect an individual from any background and the black community is no exception. African Americans sometimes experience even more severe forms of mental health conditions because of unmet needs and barriers to treatment. According to the Office of Minority Health, African Americans are 20 percent more likely to experience serious mental health problems than the general population.

Although mental illness cannot be seen in the same way as external injury, our society needs to become more aware of both the reality of mental illness and the effect of our actions on the mentally ill. There is not enough awareness and research of mental illness and this leads to people being afraid to seek treatment. The mentally ill deserve humane treatment because they are equal to all other humans. Mental illness is a result of chemical imbalances in the brain and traumatic events, and the mentally ill deserve the same treatment and respect as other people with illness and injury. Throughout American history, the mentally ill have not received equal treatment and we should work to help the mentally ill to gain respect and understanding.

The encouraging trends of Psychology in Social Work are in the schools for one example. The children in our school system are sometimes troubled, and in the past the focus has only been on academic struggles and peer pressure. Many adolescents turn to drugs and alcohol to cope with abuse, bullying, and other mentally draining issues, and unfortunately, sometimes suicide. Now, these days, the focus has expanded to the student 's outside life. This means focusing on poverty, violence, home life, environment, and cultural issues. I am a true believer in the molding process begins at home. It is hard for a student to do their best if they are hurting emotionally and mentally at home. With this amazing shift in focus we are not only helping to develop better students, we may be saving lives along the way

Crime is an issue that must be controlled effectively with planning and in a timely manner for goals to be accomplished. There are many plans, procedures, or policies that control crime, but law enforcement must understand that it may never end. Addressing crime in a timely manner can alter the aftermath for future occurrences. According to Briggs (2008) the key mystery for these outrageous crimes in Memphis that occurs frequently are linked to the way people live and the misguided housing policy that are implemented in the city (Briggs, 2008).
