Real Life Scenarios

If you fail to take note and report any concerns of child development the child or young person’s development could be affected in various areas.

You have to contact with the parents. It’s tied to your APPR, you know (with a threatening tone).” I said, “Mrs. Thiam, I don’t know why you have an impression that I don’t communicate with the parents. I had meetings with Paris’s grandmother and Jayjuan’s mother; I spoke to Noah and Titus’s mother, Jamier’s mother and sent a letter to Russel’s mother, too (just to give Mrs. Thiam some examples). Evan’s problem has just started a couple of weeks ago.” Mrs. Thiam said, “You know why? It’s because of Russell. Evan sees what Russell does and Evan thinks it’s ok to do the same. So, you are contacting the parents, that’s good.” I said, “Yes, by the way Mrs. Thiam, I am the one telling students not to tell me what happened in the classroom or how bad he was. If you have good news (about Evan), share that with me. I always start new.” She did not say anything. I continued, “But when it happened (as I pointed the write up), I was very vulnerable.” Mrs. Thiam said dismissively, “Of course.” “I continued, “I do not feel safe, and I do not feel safe for the rest of the class. My job is not only to care for Evan, but also to teach and protect the rest of the class.” Mrs. Thiam said, “Of course” again

A child may start school who is already involved with a social worker due to external factors affecting the child’s development. The school may also contact a social worker if they become concerned about a child and their home environment. Social workers can provide advice to the school about the child’s background in order for the school to understand what support should be given.

There will be a meeting set up to discuss the concerns and leads as to where you should go from there. Remember that this is your child first and foremost; we just want to help in the process.

I see [hear] examples of how that would go every single day” (Burau, 2006). I currently work in the Mental Health Unit at St. Helena Hospital, so I’ve seen the effects of this firsthand many times. Many of the patients don’t have any family or are estranged from their family because of their mental health issues. From what I’ve seen, that takes just as much of a toll on the patients as their struggle with mental health. Dealing with mental health patients can be strenuous and dangerous, just like working in any branch of emergency services. We do a lot of speaking with, calming and listening to patients, similar to what dispatchers do during 911 calls. In less than a year working in the Mental Health field I’ve dealt with many stressful situations, and had to learn to leave my work at work, another concept Burau speaks about. Working in these fields and dealing with the raw patient experiences can take a

It is very important to recognise and respond to any concerns with child/young person development because children who are not reaching development norms may well require additional support, or help from a professional person, or it could be emotional distress or help at home they need.

All of the children at the daycare were playing, waiting for their parents to arrive and pick them up. The teacher assistant was fairly new, and still getting used to the schedule and rules all the children and staff had to follow. Several of the kids’ parents seemed to come rather late, so the new assistant decided it would be fine for the kids to play with the daycare toys until they were ready leave. The youngest pupil was four, and the oldest had just turned seven, so all the children were undeniably messy and careless during almost all of their lives. The assistant’s excused themselves temporarily, the newbie could definitely handle the remaining children and if not it could help teach and improve her skills.

He recalls a disturbing cases of fraud and unethical treatment-the recent case, for example of a psychiatrist billing Medicaid for weekly sessions for a client who had died two years previously. He feels conflicted, torn between opposing the profit-driven corporate greed that drives the managed health care industry and supporting the need to screen out unethical, inefficient treatment, that at its best no harm to clients, and at its worst creates considerably more distress and fosters unhealthy dependence. On Fridays, he spend the day in the clinic on the first floor. David, specialty is in crisis intervention and trauma, and therefore, I select cases in which have clear precipitating events that have led to the presenting symptoms. His treatment is crisis-orientated and focused on reducing the immediate symptoms of the trauma. The deeper work may come later, but for now he helps clients regain their equilibrium after a particularly traumatizing life event. David has a lot on his plate and is willing to try is best to provide the correct treatment options for that

The patient has mental issues that lead to physical harm and violence to others. The therapist is obligated to report Don’s threats and have him checked into a facility to prevent any crimes being committed.

I interviewed several service providers in my school, Stephen Knight Center for Early Education, that included the psychologist, special education teacher and a general education teacher. I interviewed Ms. Iris, the school psychologist, Ms. Kathy, the special education teacher, and Ms. Hilary, a general education teacher. Ms. Iris’ responsibilities include working with students who have social emotional needs. This can include behavior challenges, learning new social skills, managing grief, etc. She works directly with parents and teachers to provide resources regarding the child’s well-being, and ensure good attendance by setting up plans. Ms. Iris works with children in general education, counseling groups, and one-on-one situations, including special education minutes. Ms. Hilary is a general education classroom teacher. She is responsible for the well-being of her students academically, socially, physically and developmentally. Ms. Hilary also advocates for families and students to receive the support that they need to feel successful in their first years of school. Finally, Ms. Kathy is the staffing

Imagine yourself walking in a mall. Seconds later you hear sounds of an assault weapon being fired close by from behind and hearing shattered glasses. Everybody running and screaming for their lives going to the exit and a lot of bodies falling to ground from getting shot. No security officers standing but just gunned down and helpless. Now the shooters reached you. What would you do now?

Discuss the nursing interventions to be utilized with a family member who is in crisis in the care setting and interfering with the healthcare team’s performance.

All this brought G trauma and she grew with emotional and behavioural disorders. For the passed two years G started to misbehaviour by missing class, being late, fighting, having low grades, poor attendance and punctuality. The head teacher is concerned and decided to call G mother or the social work if G continued like that.

Social work within the school system is an important and necessary asset to have. It helps many students with a severity of problems that children and adolescents face, whether it be at home or at the school itself. The role of the social worker is to establish a working relationship between the school and the family. In addition, they also help make sure that the child’s needs are met, whether it be their academic achievement, social, emotional and behavioural competence. By observing the child in its environment, they establish what needs that child might have and they figure out how they can utilize that perspective on the child to ensure that they perform to the best of their abilities academically or socially. We are looking at the different polices and job duties that a social worker faces while working in a school, whether it is a child with mental health related issues or a child with learning disabilities.
