Ms. Rain responds to Precious needs, however I feel as though she could have been more proactive. As a teacher with a focus on such a small group of girls I would hope that I would have noticed and responded more aggressively to the red flags that were apparent. For example, why is this 16 year old girl illiterate? What is going on her family that has allowed this to happen? Why is Precious so obese? Does she have an eating disorder, if so what could be the

Jackie ran out of the house because she does not want to be killed by her husband and numerous incidents of physical, emotional, and verbal abuse experienced from her husband, Joe. Jackie was the first to call Geneva Women’s Center for immediate help because Joe had been mistreating her for the last two years. But the straw that broke the Carmel’s back was over the weekend night, Joe came back drunk, saw her sleeping, turned Jackie over with their double bed. Notwithstanding, flipping her over with the bed, he screamed and yelled at Jackie and lashed out on her all unpleasant names and threw her out of the house. All these incidents made Jackie to call and requested to meet with someone when she dismisses from work. The objective is for Jackie to stay in a Blue-grass shelter for her safety. But the shelter is sixty miles away where she lives, she does not like it, she wants to stay close to her house to maintain her job. Jackie is right in verbalizing her concerns for not going far away for her job; reason is because the negotiation is vital; it is a natural way to confront individual differences in dealing with the service agreement. Action plan for Jackie is the available resources provided to her in the agency for her recovery such as, emotional support, assisting her in filling an order of protection, legal advocacy,

But, due to the fact that insurance panel will approve further treatment, I would not be able to space out other session.
