At this time, there are approximately 800 Guardian ad Litem Advocates who are all volunteers. There are currently over 1,700 children in the foster care system in the 7th Circuit.

First, we will examine my initial clinical note on 8/15/16 with client, Rhonda Smith, session one. During this first session, I collected Rhonda’s demographic and intake information (Murphy & Dillon, 2015; Reamer, 2001). This included a signed consent for treatment, which we reviewed and all her questions were answered, as well as signed medical releases for previous therapy and agency records, i.e., DVIS, CPS, CASA, that will be requested (Murphy & Dillon, 2015; Reamer, 2001). Additionally, she was informed about HIPAA, patient privacy rights, billing practices, professional boundaries and expectations, and how to contact me during business hours, and after-hours crisis lines, and on-call assistance phone numbers for resources if it is outside of my business hours (Murphy & Dillon, 2015).

I returned Ms Dunlap call. She said wants to place a formal complaint against the CPS worker Miranda Larson because she illegally removed her children based on false accusations. She stated that Miranda, like the entire CW are doing criminal activities. She then asked me if I had talked to her attorney? What was my conversation about, What did I disclose to them? What did they told me about her? "Be honest" she said. I informed her that I do contact her attorney because in one her DHS 0170 form the Discrimination Complaint form, she provided us her attorney's phone number and my conversation was about how can we contact her. She said that we should not be talking to her attorney because she just fired her.

I contacted Mrs. Lara Alvis, Attorney at Law, for a knowledgeable discussion on the topic of guardian ad litem (GAL). My appointment with Lara Alvis was scheduled for June 10, 2015 at 1:00pm but unfortunately that morning I got a phone call from her office letting me know that she wouldn’t be able to meet with me that day due to having a sick child but her husband, Barry Alvis would be willing to stand in for her and could answer all of my questions if that would be okay with me. I knew it would be hard to get another appointment since they are already so busy and they were kind enough to allow me to come in and talk to them without a consultation fee. I kept my appointment and met with Barry Alvis, Attorney at Law on the topic of guardian ad litem (GAL). He was especially helpful and really opened my eyes to some aspects that I wasn’t already aware of.

Dear Future Murray, this is your past-self. You are headed out to practice. There are some things you learned in the GCAP 631: Models of Counselling and Client Change that you should remember. The very first thing I want you to remember is to never stop learning. It is foolhardy to believe that you have learned or will ever learn all that you will need to be a counsellor.

Mrs. Roche seemed to be the ideal Professional Counselor for me to interview because I have always thought if I were to go in to the helping field it would involve me becoming a Professional Counselor and running my own private practice. Mrs. Roche helped me to see the benefits of having your own private practice and also the nitty-gritty details that no one else wants to do or talks about. This interview also helped me learn that it’s okay to show your clients your reactions because it lets them know that you are human and that you are listening and understanding to their problem they have. She also helped me realized the importance of being there mentally and physically for your clients in session and out of session. This could mean squeezing them in at the end of the day or having a conference call or a Skype session, just as long as you are there when they need you the most. She also helped me understand that it is actually really rewarding when you do not really see a client anymore that has “graduated”. But when you occasionally seem them year-to-year, you know that they are okay and healthy and that you helped them to where they are

The SCVRD Ombudsman contacted Jeremy Willhite on Thursday, July 28, 2016. The SCVRD Ombudsman explained to Mr. Willhite that it appears that SCVRD will not be able to assist him with obtaining additional post-secondary training pertaining to Network+ certification since all the required training was provided at the ITTC. The SCVRD Ombudsman further explained that the ITTC Staff provided the client with a choice in regards to which certification he would like to study and obtain. Mr. Willhite chose to focus on obtaining his A+ certification, which he was able to obtain.
