Personal Note On Record Keeping

Electronic log books will be mandatory for all commercial trucking vehicles. Drivers will no longer be required to complete paper logs. The reason for the electronic log books is help regulate federal hours of service. When you are running paper logs drivers have been known to run dual log books to beat the system and not have to follow the hours of service. When a driver is on the road to long they take a huge safety risk of hurting themselves and the other vehicles around them. Trucks will have ELDs installed on them to allowing the actual minutes of drive time to be recorded vs and wrote log books that are in 15 minute increments. The electronic logging device will have to be able to show 7 previous days and your current operating day. Driver vehicle inspection

Having correct information will mean all entries are up to date and it will avoid any double-bookings or clashes.

I would like to add to your findings concerning your responsibilities as a student and the obligations of supervision. Kiser (2012) explains that effective supervisors are knowledgeable, supportive, and skillful in giving feedback. They must be willing to address difficult issues as they arise, teach their supervises important information and skills, model high standards of professionalism and expertise. I agree that social workers advocate for person or persons with mental illness. Involvement in policy practice is widely regarded as an important means for social workers to contribute to the development of policies that promote social and economic justice, improve the well-being of social services users, and provide opportunities for self-determination (Colby, 2008; Haynes & Mickelson, 2009; Hoefer,

On Tuesday, 10-13-15, at approximately 2220 hrs., while out on patrol, I noticed Kyle Andre Cain, w/m, DOB 08/24/1974, walking his dog northbound at the 400blk of N. Main St. I advised Communication Officer Reiland, to run Cain through MULES by SSN that I had retrieved from ITI.

Taking the role of the school counselor in the case of the 11-year-old girl, the counselor would first empathize with the girl and let her know that she is very courageous for sharing the information. Additionally, the counselor would want to emphasize the importance of continuing the counseling relationship with the student to help her with this difficult situation. Next, the counselor would remind the student about the limits of confidentiality. Further, the counselor would tell the student that she is concerned for her safety and that based on the limits of confidentiality that was discussed during the beginning of counseling and the informed consent paper that was signed by parents and students at the beginning of the year, the counselor would need to get the student some help. The counselor would ask the student if she could share this information with her mother with the support of the counselor or get the student’s okay to share the information with her mom. This would help to keep the counseling relationship in tact. However, if the child did not want the counselor to tell anyone, the counselor would still be obligated as a mandated reporter to report the abuse to child protective services (State of Hawaii Department of Human Services, 2007). The counselor would also tell the student what the next steps would be and help her prepare for them. For example, the counselor would tell the student that she would be calling a person that would come visit her home to make sure she was safe.

The counselor had a serious colloquy with the students’ parents regarding his discrimination, harassment and bullying with other students.

Supervision is important for continued growth as a professional school counselor (Hess, Magnuson, & Beeler, 2012). Throughout my internship my relationship with my supervisor has been educational and productive for my continued growth. A strength includes that my supervisor provides timely constructive feedback about my skills and about cases. This evaluation helps me to grow and deepen my skills in order to become more effective with students. Another strength is that she helps me to further my knowledge about specific programs or services that are offered in the community that our students can benefit from. With her sharing this knowledge, she truly is supporting me in becoming a better school counselor. One limitation with our relationship is that sometimes she does not have an answer to my questions, however, this is usually due to an administration question that has not been answered. For example, one question that I have asked is why we cannot have an army or air force representative come to do a presentation to our seniors similar to how colleges come to the campus and do presentations. We have several students that

Listening to people’s stories and what they have been through in life is extremely fascinating. Seeing how the professional staff members are using the DSM-5, impacting and changing the client’s life only gives me a stronger drive to change the lives of others. It is also extremely exciting to be able to see and use the numerous topics I have learned during my time at Slippery Rock University. Learning the weekly lessons on motivational interviewing, the change cycle, and MAPS goals has allowed me to notice and apply these lessons into my internship. When I had the chance to sit with my supervisor, Alanna, I was able to see her passion for changing lives, setting measurable and attainable goals with her clients, and making sure the needs of her employees are being met. She does not hesitate to take on a client, clear her schedule for a walk-in intake, or answer any questions I may have. I once had a client come into my office and told me she was googling how to kill herself. Not having any prior experience to suicidal clients, I reassured her and brought her to my supervisor where she was able to lay out her options until her appointment with the therapist. She apologized I had to handle the situation, but I was thankful for that opportunity because it allowed me

Faculty, staff, and students at the University of Alabama at Birmingham are able to inform UAB Student Outreach about students displaying concerning behaviors, which is considered a student of concern. Once Student Outreach has been notified about a student of concern, our staff will contact the identified student about scheduling an intake appointment to discuss any issues or concerns they have. Students have the choice to accept or decline services from Student Outreach. If accepted, students will receive an intake appointment. During that appointment, students will be informed of their confidentiality rights. We want students to feel comfortable and open about sharing information about their current situations. In the ACA’s Code of Ethic, it is stated “counselors protect the confidential information of prospective and current clients. Counselors disclose information only with appropriate consent or with sound legal or ethical justification,” which is Ethic Code B.1.c. and is known as “Respect for Confidentiality” (p. 7) By working Student Outreach, I had to ensure students of their right to confidentiality. However, students are informed that our level of confidentiality does not fall under the same category of a health care

If a student reports abuse to the counselor, it must be reported immediately. The school counselor and other school officials are not to investigate themselves or approach the accused perpetrator(s). The counselor should also keep an account of any discussion and conversations between the student and/or investigators. According to Susan Hansen’s 2009 article “Confidentiality Guidelines for School Counselors”, the definition given in a 2002 article in the Journal of Professional School Counseling:

Entry to an aged care facility is one of the hardest moments of my life. It makes me feel depressed. I feel hollow, and, if it would be possible, I would just remain with my family to the end of my life. Now that I am 87 years old it is going to be so hard to manage myself at home. However, I can assume that the aged care facility is going to be a safe and good place. We will be of the same age and we will also have the same way of thinking. I am not going to be bored because there will be lots of activities which I can do. I hope and pray that the people I am going to meet there will be friendly. I hope staff should be culturally competent and be empathetic towards me. I hope and pray that the carers are going to patient, kind, and have

The six thinking hats model of conducting supervision appears to offer several benefits for counselor interns as a method of discovering possibilities for working with challenging customers. Counselor interns often feel a great amount of stress both from the new experience of seeing clients with real issues and from the supervision process (Bernard & Goodyear, 2004). Because counselor interns may encounter anxiety when presented with challenging cases, supervision strategies that help minimize anxious feelings may be helpful. This model provides a useful structure for exploring options in working with clients, and this structure can be an important component for managing counselor interns’ anxiety.

The first item is to build trust among students, parents and school staff, so that they feel comfortable coming to the counselors to address their issues or concerns. While confidentiality could be a challenge working with minors, it should be kept as much as possible. They also need to feel that when they meet with the school counselors that he or she has the individual’s best interest in mind.

Also, the counselor could have students that are dealing with this issue join a counseling group with other students in similar situations so that they are able to express their feelings in a safe environment, learn problem solving skills, and identify strengths to build on in order to cope with the situation (Lambie & Sias, 2005). In addition, the school counselor would also provide referrals, if necessary, to mental health facilities or substance abuse treatment centers (Lambie & Sias, 2005). These types of strategies would help the student to understand that they are not alone and identify coping strategies that work for
