Xacc/280 Week 9 Final Paper

Although the main goal of the assessment is to refer clients to treatment, many clients refuse treatment. However, they are willing to accept referrals to non-addiction agencies to resolve problems that have either been caused by addiction or that led to the problems. This assessment may be an intervention that the client needs. You will want to use the appropriate research-based screening tools that may be applicable to the client’s individual circumstances.

Does it ask all the necessary questions to determine what the client’s presenting problem is?

This intake packet is lengthy. I do believe it would be beneficial to the client if there were not so many questions. People coming in for services already have concerns or issues they are trying to work through. Many times, clients feel overwhelmed or anxious about beginning mental health services. This intake form, with all its questions and nine pages, may contribute to increased anxiety or be overwhelming for people. The questions are

According to the chapter 12 PowerPoint, “The structure of a program depends on it’s environment”. For the physical layout the sleeping arrangement is one thing I would change. According to the chapter 12 PowerPoint “The sleeping area should be away from the play area”. The cots were all in the play area, next to the bookshelves full of toys. I think if the cots were separate the toddlers would have a better time falling asleep and be distracted by the toys. The big room they play in, allows for physical development because there is this wide-open space where the kids can move around and play with any toys they want. One thing I would change about this, is that there are tents in the big room and the teachers never get them out because they said they’re a pain to get out and put back. This just showed me that the teacher decided to do what was more convenient for her.

Prior to the issuance of §280A in 1976, taxpayers were permitted to deduct reasonable expenses related to the use of a home office under §162(a) as long as the test of being appropriate and helpful was satisfied. The new rule imposed exceptions to the original requirements which resulted in the deduction under many circumstances to be disallowed. One of the exceptions covered under §280A(c)(1)(a) requires that the space is the principal place of business.

The intake form is easy to read and presented in a way that is easy to navigate through. As a client it would be easy enough to go down the list and answer the questions. As a social worker, there may be concern that important questions do not pop out such as suicide idealizations and owning a gun. The question regarding if a client is wanting to harm someone else should also be included in this form for obvious safety

I am requesting that the court make addendum to the magistrate’s report enter on 19Dec16, these addendums are essential due to the manner in which this case has progressed, clear and precise guidelines has to be addressed to limit the ability of the respondent to interpret or disrupt the court ordered agreement.

Today I organized documents for case managers because there are some new clients that are being processed. There is a form that must be completed on each client which is an Intake form. This form is the form that Case Worker fill out when a new client is introduced into the Redeploy program. There are two different forms Outer Counties and St. Clair counties. On the document it has several questions such as name, address, education, health, and use of what substance, religion, and family income. This is the first form I saw in each client’s file because this is important to know who file you are looking at and the background on the client.

2) Do I understand exactly what the problem is and how it influences the client?

Provide a brief description about the results the team member achieved this year towards their goals/priorities (in 250 words or less).

I would like to begin discussions regarding what can be done to mitigate the perpetual negative effect that the Crawley modules are having on our productivity, customer satisfaction, and overall bottom line.

1) Complete summary of the case study that identifies the key problems and issues, provides background information, relevant facts, the solution employed, and the results achieved.

The process of intake is the first step to the individual counseling and treatment. It is a one on one interview to set up dates and times best for the individual. Time and preparation are very important to this process because the program requires you to complete all your mandates. Today I interview ten different individuals. The issues are that court normally starts at 10 because of the judge so that leave me 2 hours to fully analyze every individual correctly and effectively. The first challenge I realize was that court does not work on people time. No matter how many people, there are some who not granted a fair and impractical trial. One of the individual because they could not understand why he was given more than 11 mandate was forced

The mental health intake form I chose from the internet was lacking in multidimensional methodology and lacked significant information about client subsystems. Accordingly, the questions that regarded behavioral functioning did not cover presenting problems thoroughly. Specific questions about coping skills, social skills, and parenting skills were absent. Although, one question was asked regarding the client’s relationship with their children (which could insight into parenting skills), it was too open ended to get any major information. The assessment contained a section on legal history that was also not thorough. The spiritual section lacked crucial information. For instance, it did not ask about supportive relationships (i.e. name of a

English speaking clients generally have greater access to dental services with their needs being assessed in myriad ways, usually conversationally. Spanish speaking clients, however, were either at the mercy of the availability of Spanish speaking case managers, which there were only 2, or a translation phone service paid for by HIV Alliance. Immediately, red flags went up in regard to agency efficiency, due to a lack of consistency, and in regard to the increased barriers that were present for Spanish speaking
