Summary: The Inadequacy Of Social Services

The range of problems facing human service clients is multi-faceted. No one person has just one problem, and there are plenty of clients to go around (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011). I believe this point is well articulated by Neil Headman, assistant professor of human services at the University of Illinois at Springfield (2011), who stated “It does not matter who your client is, everyone needs help” (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2011).

Personalisation is when the public services and social care in an entirely different way. They do this by starting with the person rather than the service; it will require the transformation of adult Social Care. There is going to be new legislation brought in 2013 for mental health issues based on autonomy, this is respecting the individual Capacity to decide and act on his own and his rights and to subject to restraint by others. Justice, this is to the law is equal; therefore if a person with learning disabilities or mental health disorder should retain the same rights and entitlement as others. Benefits, this is a way of acting in the individual best interest and finally least harm this is when treatment and care must be provided in

The class SW 6030 Human Development and the Social Environment has brought new insights and makes me see some topics in a different perspective. The critical reflection paper number one will integrate different concepts that I learned so far in this class.

When the riots came to a conclusion, the government officials put all the blame on social welfare failures. After this statement, there was mass public outrage for these comments. How can someone blame New programs such as the New Frontier and the Great Society opened new opportunities so that the financially unstable can “change the social structure through broad citizen participation, training and education, job development, legal services, affirmative action, and a wide range of community-based programs established to bring those who had been excluded into the mainstream.” These social welfare programs were a great thing that benefited the oppressed and disadvantaged people as a whole. Yet Bush and his men stood against it. “White House

Another barrier that an abused individual may face is stigmatization. They may feel like if the seek help that people will perceive them and everyone associated with them to be the same way. It will disgrace the whole family or everyone involved. The program that we would run would be completely anonymous. The only people that would know would be the people that worked for us. They would be under the same restrictions as hospitals and have to follow

The Toronto Employment and Social Services is known for its vital role of providing social and financial assistance including employment programs and services to the demographic population. It has strategically built 19 employment centers in different parts of the area mainly in order to reach people at community levels. The role of the agency’s staff is to provide variety of services such as advising people on how they can obtain jobs and how important training is to get the desired job, assisting people to get financial benefits and helping them to get benefits from other social services (Relph, 2014). This paper aims to examine the services that the Toronto Employment and Social Services offers to the local population. The paper also examines

The key issue identified in this paper is the understaffing in the facility that results in employees constantly being overworked and stressed. Social Justice is defined as the fair distribution of society’s benefits and responsibilities and their consequences. It focuses on the relative position of one social group in relation to others in society as well as on the root causes of disparities and what can be done to eliminate them (Canadian Nurses Association [CNA], 2009). The unjust situation that I encountered is considered social injustice because of the discrimination that the employees experience when the facility does not replace staff that did not report for work. In effect, the employees are overworked and are more prone to accidents

Session held at client's home. DI worked on establishing report. DI and Sofia worked executive function, social and language. During session Sofia need it 7 directive prompt and 1 partial physical prompt. DI and Sofia look at video for potty training. Sofia did a great job following instructions given by DI. Sofia was able to keep small conversations with DI and client's mom. Sofia's mom assisted, participated and facilitated during session.

Welfare is financial aid given to those in need of assistance. There are many reasons one could need welfare such as a disability, illness, or in the case of the new poor, (those who have never been poor before) job loss due to economic recessions. (Hurst 2013.) Sometimes the ones who should receive benefits are denied and money is granted to the non-poor. Businesses are also able to have access to government-aid. Phantom welfare, or “corporate welfare” is defined as any federal spending program that provides payments or unique benefits and advantages to specific companies or industries. (S.S. 2007) This loose definition includes payments like grants and direct subsidies to companies. Sometimes there are cash payments made to farmers

CM spoke with client briefly when entering the facility, Client stated she received a letter from SNAP for an eligibility interview. Client reports her interview date was on 10/05/17 between 11:30am and 3:30pm However, Client stated she did not receive no miss call or voicemail from HRA. CM informed Client to bring down the letter so we can review it, Client agreed. Client return to social services department with the letter. CM inquires if the contact information was correct client stated everything is right. Client reports when applying for the fair hearing she submitted all the documents required. CM informs Clients to resubmit all suggested items checked off on the letter. Client asked how can she get a copy of her and husband birth certificate.

qualified to wait until I have obtained my certificate and have the tool of higher education under my belt. The specifics of what exactly I hope to accomplish by jumping as far as I possibly can in my professional life are to simply be the best social worker for addicts and their families that I can possibly be. The issues plaguing these people and their families are catastrophic, and I understand firsthand how damaging and divisive the effects can be. If I can help even one family understand and shape their family environment into a safer and more constructive one and to give back to even just a single individual who needs the kind of guidance and support that I needed (and thankfully received), then my life will be more than well-lived. However,

American people are so lucky to live in a country that cares about their well- begin. There is numerous amount of countries that don’t have social services like the continents of North America. I agree with you one hundred percent countries like Nigeria don’t really care about the welfare of their citizens. We have a lot of people who are taking the help of their country for granted. They feel like the help is going to always be their simply because they have children. Food stamps is a great program simply because women, men and children can eat a meal every day. They don’t have to worry about starving because they don’t have any food.

‘No person is an island’; that is the term which McLean and Harrison (2011) uses to define how everyone’s world intermingles with others. Contact is in the form of interaction between the microsystems, including family and schools, as well as wider links, such as macrosystems, and the cultural norms, values and belief that are learnt through socialisation. I was well aware that improving Child R’s well-being meant not just attempting to change the child’s attitude but, since they are a massive influence, encouraging his family to think differently and relate to the child positively too . Promoting family modification was not easy as behaviours which necessitated consistent involvement within social services means this particular family is classed as ‘hard to change’. According to Thoburn (2009) some children from ‘hard to change’ families are more vulnerable as ‘characteristics’ can make them a prime target for abuse. Thus, child R is a candidate for abuse as he is ‘singled out for rejection’. However, by encouraging family togetherness to strengthen the family unit, I was aiming to eradicate abuse. I thought father and son would benefit from some quality time together to allow them to form a closer relationship. Listening to child R discuss things he has in common with his father, I realised that they both have a shared interest in science fiction. My suggestion was for the pair to indulge their passion by watching ‘Star Wars’ at the cinema. Child

Denial is a an internal barrier that a social worker might come across. If a professional completely closes the idea of social abuse within a family, it might end up causing the child harm. This professional is getting personal bias get in the way of doing their job and need to take care of any person issues they might be dealing with before putting other children at risk because of their lack to assess. Betrayal is another internal barrier that might affect the work of a social worker. If the social worker has put in time with this client and feels that he or she will lose the clients trust if they report abuse. A social worker needs to know what is best for the child and must report if they feel that the child needs protection.

Poverty has been a social issue since the beginning of time. Social workers top priority is addressing social justice issues which poverty is the primary topic. Poverty is relevant to the social work practice because the topic falls under one of our guiding principles. In hindsight, social workers helping clients with their basic need such as shelter, food, clothing, social benefits and healthcare is one way in which, they aid in helping people rise above poverty. Social workers are in the positions where they could change social policies for our clients on a macro level by joining politician’s organizations/ committees, to assist in policy making for community needs (Miller, 2017). They also have the power to advocate for more jobs to be create for those living in poverty due to the lack of job opportunities. Additionally, social workers have the platform to educate people living in poverty. They can help families eat healthier on their household income, help in bill assistance, and offer educational classes to help one over come poverty.
