She’s shown little interest in daily activities, which she used to engage in, and has had difficulties falling asleep at night. Her mother has overheard her having frequent phone conversations with her a friend, which consist of her negative outlook on life. When her mother tries to get her to open up about what’s bothering her, she pushes her away with an abrupt “everything’s fine”.

L.T children resent her because they feel as if it was her fault their father left. According to chapter 6, Personality and Mental Health Old Age depression is one of many mental disorders among older individuals. L.T feels depressed because she cares a lot for her children but they do not understand she was physically abused all the 9 years she was married to their father she needed to put an end to it. Two of her daughters do not constantly keep in touch with her but they do call her once in awhile. It was hurtful to hear what L.T was saying about her son. L.T son no longer talks to her, they have not talked to each other for the last 30 years because he feels she is the only one to blame for her father disowning him and his sisters. After the divorce, L.T son and L.T previous husband would constantly be together because he was very close to his dad but ever since L.T remarried he completely stopped talking to all his children. L.T son is hurt and resents her for something that she had no control over. L.T hopes to talk to her son before she

The last 20 years her dad has been her biggest fan and has given he the courage to leave the only place she knew to explore and be a butterfly. She has done amazing for her self and is one of the strongest women I have ever known. She has raised her self above all circumstances and became a better person for the socially and for her kids. Being she was raised by her grandma, and her mom has cancer they are making her feel guilty for leaving.

The kids are very upset, her daughter got a scholarship to ASU next year being a resident, and her son that had ADHD has finally opened and has friends and in sports. It’s a shame, I am worried for her family that she is not making the best choice, but I am her friend not her boss, so I feel I should keep my mouth closed and be a friend and wait for her to

Domestic violence is more common than most people would like to believe. About one in every four women will be victimized by a significant other at some point in their lives (Clevenger & Roe-Sepowitz 2009). Many women are not able to get out of their situation on their own and need help from others. Women in abusive relationships should consider going to a shelter for help to get out of their unsafe situation. Shelters can assist not only with a safe place to live but it can also be a stepping stone to rebuilding their lives. A shelter is there to provide a safe living environment and multiple resources that someone would need to get themselves back on their feet. Some of the resources are safety planning, legal assistance, mental health care and counseling,

Finding permanent supportive housing for single adults and families living with special needs, including chronic homelessness, HIV/AIDS and mental illness, as well as young adults aging out of the foster care system is an issue relevant to social workers. I would like to create an organization that provides counseling and supportive services to help clients stabilize their lives, maintain their housing stability and advance towards their individual goals, including financial independence. The organization’s services are comprehensive. We will provide person-centered case management, employment services, mental health treatment, including onsite psychiatric treatment at certain sites, health and wellness programming, nutrition coaching, food service, independent living planning and community referrals. The organization would need to regularly partner with government, private banks and syndicators, national housing intermediaries and local community service organizations who also share the organization’s view that

Leelah Alcorn was a transgender girl who was highly unaccepted by her parents, which actually led to her suicide. Ever since she was four years old she felt as if something about her wasn’t right. She was born as a boy so she tried to stick to the social norm and do stereotypical stuff that boys did. At about fourteen years of age she found out about what being transgender was, she was so ecstatic that she told her mom, who reacted extremely negatively. She felt as if after ten years she could finally be who she was born to be. Her mom kept on denying her saying stuff about God not making mistakes and that it's just a phase.

The health needs of transgender individuals within Canada are as diverse as the community themselves. These health needs represent a holistic concern within Canada, which includes emotional, mental, physical, spiritual, and financial issues. The strategy that will be used to address these issues will involve photovoice. Peers from specified geographic areas will be recruited to take photos that represent their lived experiences and successes, inequities, barriers, and gaps in relation to their health needs within a micro, meso, and macro context. These photos will be later displayed through the mediums of online blogs, photobooks, and an art show. Issues needing further consideration for the strategy include engagement and recruitment
