Assume you were asked to deliver a presentation during the next required continuing education course for licensure. Your topic is working with high-risk adolescents. Prepare a voice-over PowerPoint presentation for the course. Begin by identifying the ethical dilemma for each of the following issues from the Social Work Code of Ethics. Develop a response to the issue and explain a model for ethical decision-making you would consider as a social worker. You must demonstrate an understanding of theories of human behavior and the social environment, and critically evaluate and apply this knowledge in the assessment of diverse clients and constituencies, including individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities specific to methods of assessment with diverse clients and constituencies to advance practice effectiveness. Be sure to integrate content that demonstrates how social workers understand that evidence that informs practice derives from multi-disciplinary sources and multiple ways of knowing. They also understand the processes for translating research findings into effective practice. Consider the role of technology to ethically and appropriately facilitate practice outcomes. As social workers must engage in collaborative interventions for clients, be sure to critique the effectiveness of the collaborative efforts in each case.

1. You are a social worker in a high school, assigned to a team to prevent HIV and STDs. The school system recently approved a policy that condoms can be distributed only with written parental consent. This morning, a male student asked you for some condoms.
2. Doreen, a 13-year-old Hispanic youth, has a history of running away and drug and alcohol experimentation. Her parents seem warm and accepting and want to help her. Near the end of your session, she confides in you that her step brother has been making sexual advances toward her. When she told her mother, she was told to forget it and that he was just a teenage boy. As the social worker, you realize that this interview should not be terminated, but you have another client waiting.
3. Jimmy is a passive deeply disturbed early adolescent who lives in a residential facility for troubled youth. At times, he has had to be protected from other adolescents who bully him and take advantage of him. Jimmy is ready to be moved to a less restrictive home owned by the agency you work for. There is a more appropriate foster home he could move to, but you are told to have him remain at the residential facility even though there are older, more aggressive youth. The foster home is not owned by the agency and the staff wants to keep their numbers up in the residential facility.
