Field Agency Reflection
During this week at my field agency, I participated in the following activities including attending team/ agency meeting, supervision, completed a clinical assessments as well as family planning alcohol smoking and substance involvement screening/depression scale. In addition, I conducted a family and individual therapy sessions.
The clinical assessment/family planning intake was successful, because I have mastered the necessarily questions at this time. I independently completed the intake as it is no longer as nerve racking as it was initially. After the intake session, I completed a progress note, stating that the intake as well as OMS was completed. I also completed a depression scale as well as alcohol smoking/ substance involvement screening test for a 25years old family planning client. Overall, every activities/ responsibilities went well.
Even though I think everything went well, I have noticed that I been having more intakes rather than individual or family therapy sessions currently. One of the reasons why I am not completely

This is very confusing because my schedule was initially messed up. On the other hand, I was able to fix this as I went over to the front desk and requested that if they schedule a client with me for intake who is not supposed to be on my caseload, they should make a note beside the schedule stating who the client is assigned. Another reason why scheduling more intakes for me is not a good idea is because when my schedule is packed up with intakes, there will be fewer room for individual/family sessions. I intend discussing this with my supervisor next semester if it persist because my supervisor have been busy and has not taken note of that. Other than these, my field experience this semester has been a great one and I hope for a greater experience next

    I attended an A.A. meeting on April 5, 2010. Before the meeting I seemed very anxious. This was not my first meeting I have been to meetings before but they all seem to make me nervous. When I arrived the nervousness had eased off because everyone had made me feel welcomed. I was made to feel like a part of their family from the beginning to the end of the meeting. I seemed to have realized I missed going to these meetings and I miss the fellowship but it has not interfered with me staying sober.…

    In these uncertain times it is hard to imagine where the direction health care is going. There are critical issues plaguing the current healthcare system in the United States. Human and Health Services is an important entity and there are many programs that serve under this umbrella. The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the part of the federal government that's responsible for administrating programs that deal with health and welfare. According the official HHS website, the department works with almost one fourth of all federal government expenditures and administers more grant dollars than all other federal agencies combined. The Department's programs are administered by 11 operating divisions composed of eight agencies in the U.S. Public Health Service and three human services agencies (TechTarget 2013). Unfortunately, there is a large population of Americans and legal citizens, alike, which do not have sufficient healthcare insurance or any at all. Every few decades a presidential candidate speaks in hopeful tones about reforming the healthcare delivery system and creating a program that would be beneficial to all those in need and ultimately saving the government money on expenditures. Our current President, Barack Obama has passed a national health insurance policy which would allow everyone healthcare benefits, but with talks of a universal system or as some put it “socialized” medicine there are sneers, jeers, raised eyebrows and questions to the effectiveness of this type of program. Due to the ever increasing aging population and the swell in unemployment, Medicaid and Medicare are the largest government funded healthcare programs in the United States providing considerably more coverage than private insurance or other managed care organizations. So in a way the majority of our population is all ready benefitting from a socialized system. With the nation in its recessive state, everyone has been affected, especially when…

    Field Placement Essay

    With the many experiences I have had throughout my life and the clear path I have found to social work, I am very excited to begin field placement. Upon learning USC will choose my first year of field placement, I felt somewhat relieved. During my field placement experience, I would like to gain more exposure to the realm of clinical social work practice and gain more training in areas such as crisis intervention and mental health assessment, as I am particularly interested in social work areas related to mental health. I would like to increase my knowledge of laws and policies in social service systems and how they affect mental health consumers. I also look forward to furthering my understanding of the diverse client populations and improve my working knowledge of different forms of evidence-based practice. Although I am eager to learn more about these areas within social work, I have resigned any expectations I might have because it is likely that I will be placed at an agency opposite of my interests. I see this first year of field placement as an opportunity to learn more about a population or condition that I otherwise might have never had a chance to learn about and experience.…

    Today was another day of orientation and we focused on the intake process. The intake process involves receiving the referral from social services or the Community Service Board (CSB). Typically the referrals are for reunification, child protection services (CPS) prevention, afterschool care, mentoring, daycare, Therapeutic Day Treatment (TDT), and supervised visitation. Once the referral is received, TLC has 24-48 business hours to make contact with the client in order to complete the assessment. Then the worker has five to seven business day to complete the intake and the treatment plan for the client. We also discussed the importance of completing the biopsychosocial assessment. We discussed specific techniques to help us develop our styles…
