Before seeing me, Precious was given paperwork to read that included an Informed Consent and Confidentiality form. She signed her name stating that she understood. However, when I discovered that she was on a 6th grade reading level, I went over the information with her about appointments, confidentiality, and record keeping. I didn’t get into fees and insurance too much because this is a nonprofit that offers services free of cost. Precious replied that she had heard it all before, but the conversation did help establish rapport. The homeless call center directs people to the different agency’s that could benefit them. For example, military veterans have a special shelter that works to fit their specific needs. This agency’s field area is for youth and teenagers. In Precious’ case, she is 16 and has two young children; she is going to need special help with being a young single mother. We can also offer services more common for minors in this group, such as having a lawyer who does pro bono legal services for emancipation cases. Jean Piaget pioneered that idea that children mature in their logical reasoning rather than by learning it. He developed a structured approach to cognitive development in four stages: the sensorimotor period, pre-operations period, concrete operation period, and formal operational period. Beginning at about 11 years old, the “Formal Operations” stage is during which persons develop the ability to think abstractly using hypothetical reasoning,

I believe that this particular intake form asks all of the necessary questions to determine what the client’s current problem or situation is. It begins with the individual’s personal information such as where they live, their date of birth, and primary physician. The next block immediate following that is the complaint section where the client is about to describe their problem including who their previous therapist was (if they had one) and aggravating and relieving factors that play into the problem. The next section gives the patient the opportunity to check off any current symptoms that they might be experiencing. Next comes the medical history of the patient, followed by the family history which ranges in questions from id the client

The Downtown Emergency Shelter Center in Seattle was founded in 1979 to provide emergency shelter and survival services for homeless men and women. At the time, people who were chronically homeless due to mental and addictive illnesses were not being adequately served by the existing shelters. The mission of the organization is to end homelessness through comprehensive and integrative services including emergency shelter, counseling, chemical dependency and medical care, employment services, and subsidized housing.

In addition to emergency housing, the shelter also offers support groups, emergency safety planning, legal advocacy, and programs for children. From the time I arrived, until I left, the case manager was non-stop busy. She had a lot of things to monitor and a lot of things to do. She checked in with a number of the volunteers, other employees and some of clients. She also completed an intake assessment on a new client and oriented her to the shelter. Part of the orientation process included going over with the client what was expected of her while she was there and providing information about additional resources available to her. The case manager reassured the client multiple times that this was a safe facility and that she would be safe here. She also stressed that the facility had a zero tolerance for any substance abuse. The case manager gave information to the client about filing a restraining order on her abuser and discussed the paperwork and process involved in obtaining the restraining

In this case study, I have determined that the client is Andrea. After the assessment, I believe that it is important to focus on services and a treatment plan is with Andrea. Vincent is currently in a stable housing environment and is reporting to be adjusting well he is not in need of any immediate services. Additionally, he is already participating in therapy through his school and is being provided additional services through AHRC. Andrea however, is currently in crisis and is in need of immediate services. It is unclear if she is currently being seen by a licensed psychiatrist and has been provided with appropriate after care following her hospitalization. Additionally, she is currently attempting to be granted reunification with her son, and was recently denied unsupervised visitation. Lastly, her income base solely based upon government services, it is unclear how she is supporting herself without Vincent’s SSI benefits and cuts to food stamps and cash aid.

Once those forms are completed the client’s initial intake is and session is completed the information is entered into the AIRS system. The forms completed from the AIRS system are printed and also placed in the clients file. In addition to those forms supportive documents are placed in the clients files that coincide with what services they may. They may be court ordered because of a domestic violence case, ACS and other reason. Adding these documents are not mandated but assist in properly completing the files, and may give more details and proof to their

This led to the client asking the intern for help with housing because she didn’t know where to start. In preparation for the meeting, the social work intern reviewed the file, and spoke with the supervisor about the family. However, both yielded little information about the client. The client was consistently engaged in the conversation during the meeting. She made eye contact, her body language was very open, was very open about her situation and her concerns, shared documentation for some of her issues, and was very receptive to help from the intern and wanted to come back again. Once the meeting was over, the intern researched affordable housing based on the information Dora

Victims of intimate partner violence (IPV) often seek help from emergency shelters like Hays-Caldwell Women’s Center (HCWC), and the clients of these emergency shelters are generally in need of temporary housing, counseling, transportation, and/or advocacy (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence [NCAVD], 2015). The overriding problem for these shelters is lack of space (NCAVD, 2015). In 2015, a one-day census conducted by the National Network to End Domestic Violence found over 40,000 adults and children seeking refuge from IPV through the use of emergency shelters, with an additional 30,000 individuals receiving other services like counseling, transportation, and legal advocacy (National Network to End Domestic Violence [NNEDV],

A new Neighbors Emergency Center opened in the last year on FM 2100, Doctors office located right next to the Dentist, and eye care office, on FM 2100 and Krenek Rd. No hospital in Crosby, the closest one in in Baytown, fifteen miles away.No mental health offices, are located in Crosby, the person would be brought to a hospital, were they can be evaluated, and recommended for that type of hospital. There are no other signs of alternative services like healers, herbalists, herbal stores, palm readers, acupunctures, chiropractors, if someone would be interested in those kind of services, the best option would be to drive into Houston twenty-five miles away.
