Southern New Hampshire University Trauma and Loss Discussion
With seemingly never-ending violence, natural disasters, and soldiers returning home from wars growing numbers of people are suffering long lasting mental health crises. It is imperative for clinical social workers to implement effective interventions that address trauma and loss within families.For this Discussion, view the “Levy” video. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uh62KiMMLaSuNE8FrdLlcJ70OSex_dg6/view?usp=drivesdkBy Day 3Post a description of the how the trauma related behaviors evident in the Levy video affect family interactions and the family system. Identify the problems in this case and explain whether these problems would best be addressed through individual treatment, family treatment, or a combination of both. Review the literature and recommend an evidence-based family intervention that might help Jake and Sheri and their sons. Describe how the intervention is implemented and its underlying theory. Explain how this intervention might help the Levy family and ameliorate the presenting problems. Finally, describe why you chose this intervention. Use this week’s resources or the literature to support your conclusions.By Day 5Respond to a colleague’s intervention choice that differs from yours. Contrast the underlying theories of the two interventions. Explain whether you agree or disagree with your colleague’s identification of the problem and recommendation to address the problem through individual and/or family treatment.Colleague: StaceyPost a description of the how the trauma related behaviors evident in the Levy video affect family interactions and the family system.Jake is displaying trauma-related symptoms due to his experiences in Iraq. Jake's trauma manifests in anger, outburst, frustration, and verbal altercations with his wife(Laureate Educaion,2013).. Jake is currently self-medicating to cope with his undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Jake's drinking has begun to cause his family distress by his anger outburst, inability to follow through with his obligations at work, and aggressive communication style. Jake's drinking is starting to conflict with his family dynamics. For instance, how Jake was communicating with his wife resembles a chaotic relationship characterized by erratic and limited leadership (Olson, 2002). Jake's behavior also affects family cohesion by creating an unhealthy and unbalance distance between the couple (Olson, 2002). Identify the problems in this case and explain whether these problems would best be addressed through individual treatment, family treatment, or a combination of both.There are a multitude of problems presented in this video. First, Jake stated that he is no longer the man he used to be before Iraq. Second, Jake's behavior is causing conflict and distress with his family. As a social worker, I would address Jake's presenting problem through a combination of individual and family treatment. Individual sessions will assist Jake in processing his feelings, emotions, and experiences. Family sessions will allow Jake to disclose his experiences to his family while the social worker helps guild the family through the healing process.Review the literature and recommend an evidence-based family intervention that might help Jake and Sheri and their sons. Describe how the intervention is implemented and its underlying theory.For the Levy family, I would recommend Trauma Focus- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) as the intervention for the family. TF-CBT is effective for veterans' families given their risk for heightened mental health problems, stress, child maltreatment, and intimidate partner violence (Ridings et al., 2019). As a social worker, I would implement TF-CBT through psychoeducation, trauma narratives, pro-social coping skills, and ensuring the family's safety (Ridings et al., 2019). The underlying theory of TF-CBT is to reduce parental depression and PTSD symptoms, emotional distress, strengthened parents' ability to support their children, and decrease children's feelings of shame (Ridings et al., 2019).Explain how this intervention might help the Levy family and ameliorate the presenting problems.TF-CBT will assist the Levy family in overcoming their presenting problems because Jake will have the opportunity to process his trauma through a narrative discussion. Through psychoeducation, Sheri and her sons would be able to gain an understanding of (PTSD) and Jake's experiences while in Iraq. TF-CBT use of pro-social coping skills will address Jake's self-defeating behaviors such as drinking and Sheri's emotional distress. Finally, TF-CBT will help the children process their feelings and emotions.Finally, describe why you chose this intervention.I selected this intervention primarily due to its focus on helping families overcome their trauma.ReferenceRidings, L. E., Moreland, A. D., & Petty, K. H. (2019). Implementing Trauma-Focused CBT for Children of Veterans in the VA: Providing Comprehensive Services to Veterans and Their Families.

SOCW 6204 WEEK 5. Medical social work in an interdisciplinary team
Assignment: Medical Social Work in an Interdisciplinary Health Care Team “A team is a group with a specific task or
tasks, the accomplishment of which requires the interdependent and
collaborative efforts of its members” (Wise, Beckhard, Rubin, &
Kyte, 1974, p. 73). Grumbach and Bodenheimer (2004, p. 1249) identified
five key elements of team building and explained that a cohesive,
organized team must have “clear goals with measurable outcomes, clinical
and administrative systems, division of labor, training, and
communication.” Teamwork brings together diverse knowledge and skills
and can result in professional collaboration and cost-effective quality
service.Despite evidence that teams may
enhance patient care, working on an interdisciplinary health care team
can be challenging. For example, a member may be threatened by the
notion of giving up some of his or her professional autonomy to the
group effort, or there may be a lack of confidence and trust in the
opinions and decisions of individuals from other disciplines. It
requires skill and flexibility to coordinate and collaborate with
multiple professionals who possess different backgrounds and areas of
expertise toward a common goal: improving the delivery of services to
patients.To prepare for this Assignment,
select a discipline of medical social work of interest to you. Then,
read the assigned case study and think about how a team would care for
or provide service to the identified client.Case study:Claire
is a 60-year-old Caucasian female. She has been married to her husband
for 35 years and has two grown children. She has been admitted to the
hospital for a double mastectomy due to her recent breast cancer
diagnosis. Claire and her family remain unclear about her prognosis.By Day 7In a 4- to 6-page paper:Summarize the patient population (age, gender, ethnicity or race, medical condition or diagnosis) that the case study features.Describe the discipline of medical social work that you chose.Explain the primary roles and responsibilities of a social worker in the discipline that you chose.Devise an interdisciplinary team in the discipline you chose for the patient in the assigned case study.Define the roles of other members of the interdisciplinary health care team in that discipline.Explain how you might collaborate with the members of the health care team.Explain the essential values that are common to the members of an interdisciplinary team to patient care.Describe the challenges you might encounter while working with an
interdisciplinary health care team. Then, explain strategies you would
employ to address the challenges.Explain how the challenges you identified might negatively affect
the patient and the patient’s family in the assigned case study.
Finally, explain how you might work with the patient, the patient’s
family, and other stakeholders in providing optimal health care. Cite
your response using external scholarly resources.Provide examples of resources the social worker might use for patients in this area.Required Readings

ethical and legal issues
Your original response to the Discussion topic should be at least 350 words and should reflect the fact that you have completed the Reading and activities. Use your words wisely so that the posting has substance and includes examples and explanations. Best practice is to include citations and a reference list.In Chapters 8 and Chapter 9 of your textbook, you read about ethical and legal issues the human service professional may encounter. The human service professional will encounter ethical dilemmas in their professional career. You have read about how ethical practices are guided by a professional code of ethics. The chapter discusses several professional organizations that have established codes of ethics for the helping profession, including the National Organization for Human Service (NOHS), National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and the American Psychological Association (APA). The human service professional code of ethics is guided by the National Organization for Human Services (NOHS). Incorporating ethical considerations in the workplace is paramount to the human service professional. Violations can result in disciplinary actions or even dismissal. The human service professional must have a personal constitution which supports and represents the values stated in the NOHS Code of Ethics. The code of ethics and laws should guide your professional practice. You also read about how the human service professional must maintain boundaries. Establishing and managing appropriate boundaries for the professional allows for good practices. The readings allowed you to self-examine and reflect on ethical codes, laws, and appropriate decisions. Recognizing unethical behavior in yourself and your colleagues allows for competence and responsibility.Discuss an area in which you might be uncertain about your position in an unethical dilemma with a client. What about an unethical encounter with a colleague? Discuss your ambiguities. How might you manage your professional position ethically?As you also read, dual or multiple relationships are inevitable, pervasive, and unavoidable, and have the potential to be either beneficial or harmful. There is much debate in regards to the human service professional successfully maintaining dual or multiple relationships. What are potential benefits of dual (or multiple) relationships? What are potential unethical threats?Please remember to cite your work using APA format when referencing from the text or outside resource

Assemble and Test Your Personal Ethics Statement
Topic (1 page)Assemble and Test Your Personal Ethics StatementIt's 2020, and General Foryota Company opens a plant in which to build a new mass-produced hover-craft. This hover-craft will work using E-85 Ethanol, will travel up to 200 mph, and will reduce pollution worldwide at a rate of 10 percent per year. It is likely that when all automobiles in the industrial world have been changed over to hovercrafts, emission of greenhouse gasses may be so reduced that global warming may end and air quality will become completely refreshed.However, the downside is that during the transition time, GFC's Hover-Vee (only available in red or black), will most likely put all transportation as we know it in major dissaray. Roadways will no longer be necessary, but new methods of controlling traffic will be required. Further, while the old version of cars are still being used, Hover-vee's will cause accidents, parking issues, and most likely class envy and warfare. The sticker price on the first two models will be about four times that of the average SUV (to about $200,000.) Even so, GFC's marketing futurists have let them know that they will be able to pre-sell their first three years of expected production, with a potential waiting list which will take between 15 and 20 years to fill.The Chief Engineer of GFC commissions a study on potential liabilities for the Hover-vees. The preliminary result is that Hover-vees will likely kill or maim humans at an increased rate of double to triple over automobile travel because of collisions and crashes at high speeds -- projected annual death rates of 100,000 to 200,000. However, global warming will end, and the environment will flourish.The U. S. Government gets wind of the plans. Congress begins to discuss the rules on who can own and operate Hover-vees. GFC's stock skyrockets. The Chief Engineer takes the results of the study to the Chief Legal Counsel, and together they agree to bury the study, going forward with the production plans. The Chief Project Manager, who has read the study and agreed to bury it, goes ahead and plans out the project for the company, with target dates and production deadlines.Our class is a team of young lawyers, project managers, engineers, and congressional aides who are all part of the process of helping get this project off the ground. In fact, according to the first letter of your last name, you are the following team:A-G: Attorney on the GFC teamH-N: Project Manager on the GFC team0-S: Engineer on the GFC teamT-Z: Congressional AideSomebody sent a secret copy of the report to you at your home address. It has no information in it at all, except for the report showing the proof of the increase in accidents and deaths. The report shows, on its face, that the CLO, CE, CPM, and your Congressional Representative have seen copies of this report. On the front there are these words typed in red: They knew — they buried this. Please save the world!Each of you feel a very loyal tie to your boss and your company/country. You all have mortgages, and families to feed. It is likely if you blow the whistle on this report, you will lose your job and your livelihood. You're not even sure who wrote the study in your envelope or who actually sent it to you.Now to the task at hand:Utilizing your profession's code of ethics, what would be your first step? Who would you talk to first? Would you go to the press? Would you go to your boss? Should you do anything at all?Topic ( 1 page)Created a personal ethical philosophy and be able to discuss from which philosophies you created it and why the contents are important and meaningful for you. List its precepts. One of the great examples of ethics and morals in all of literature comes from Plato who wrote about the Ring of Gyges in The Republic, Book II, starting at paragraph 359a. For those who wish to read the whole story, here is a link to the story -- Ring of Gyges (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..The story goes that Gyges was a shepherd in the service of the King. In a most unusual circumstance he came upon a dead man, removed the man's ring, and discovered that it made him invisible. He conspired to take the periodic report of the shepherds to the King -- once there he seduced the Queen and eventually took control of the Kingdom by conspiring with the Queen. Plato continues the story:" Suppose now that there were two such magic rings, and the just put on one of them and the unjust the other; no man can be imagined to be of such an iron nature that he would stand fast in justice. No man would keep his hands off what was not his own when he could safely take what he liked out of the market, or go into houses and lie with any one at his pleasure, or kill or release from prison whom he would, and in all respects be like a God among men. Then the actions of the just would be as the actions of the unjust; they would both come at last to the same point. And this we may truly affirm to be a great proof that a man is just, not willingly or because he thinks that justice is any good to him individually, but of necessity, for wherever any one thinks that he can safely be unjust, there he is unjust. For all men believe in their hearts that injustice is far more profitable to the individual than justice, and he who argues as I have been supposing, will say that they are right."This story raises up the question of what sanctions prevent people from just taking any liberties they are inclined to take. The whole subject of ethics, seen in large scale, is that of accepting and living under moral standards.1. Using YOUR personal ethical statement that you have created, what would you do if you had that second ring?

ethical and legal issues
Your original response to the Discussion topic should be at least 350 words and should reflect the fact that you have completed the Reading and activities. Use your words wisely so that the posting has substance and includes examples and explanations. Best practice is to include citations and a reference list.In Chapters 8 and Chapter 9 of your textbook, you read about ethical and legal issues the human service professional may encounter. The human service professional will encounter ethical dilemmas in their professional career. You have read about how ethical practices are guided by a professional code of ethics. The chapter discusses several professional organizations that have established codes of ethics for the helping profession, including the National Organization for Human Service (NOHS), National Association of Social Workers (NASW), and the American Psychological Association (APA). The human service professional code of ethics is guided by the National Organization for Human Services (NOHS). Incorporating ethical considerations in the workplace is paramount to the human service professional. Violations can result in disciplinary actions or even dismissal. The human service professional must have a personal constitution which supports and represents the values stated in the NOHS Code of Ethics. The code of ethics and laws should guide your professional practice. You also read about how the human service professional must maintain boundaries. Establishing and managing appropriate boundaries for the professional allows for good practices. The readings allowed you to self-examine and reflect on ethical codes, laws, and appropriate decisions. Recognizing unethical behavior in yourself and your colleagues allows for competence and responsibility.Discuss an area in which you might be uncertain about your position in an unethical dilemma with a client. What about an unethical encounter with a colleague? Discuss your ambiguities. How might you manage your professional position ethically?As you also read, dual or multiple relationships are inevitable, pervasive, and unavoidable, and have the potential to be either beneficial or harmful. There is much debate in regards to the human service professional successfully maintaining dual or multiple relationships. What are potential benefits of dual (or multiple) relationships? What are potential unethical threats?Please remember to cite your work using APA format when referencing from the text or outside resource

Assemble and Test Your Personal Ethics Statement
Topic (1 page)Assemble and Test Your Personal Ethics StatementIt's 2020, and General Foryota Company opens a plant in which to build a new mass-produced hover-craft. This hover-craft will work using E-85 Ethanol, will travel up to 200 mph, and will reduce pollution worldwide at a rate of 10 percent per year. It is likely that when all automobiles in the industrial world have been changed over to hovercrafts, emission of greenhouse gasses may be so reduced that global warming may end and air quality will become completely refreshed.However, the downside is that during the transition time, GFC's Hover-Vee (only available in red or black), will most likely put all transportation as we know it in major dissaray. Roadways will no longer be necessary, but new methods of controlling traffic will be required. Further, while the old version of cars are still being used, Hover-vee's will cause accidents, parking issues, and most likely class envy and warfare. The sticker price on the first two models will be about four times that of the average SUV (to about $200,000.) Even so, GFC's marketing futurists have let them know that they will be able to pre-sell their first three years of expected production, with a potential waiting list which will take between 15 and 20 years to fill.The Chief Engineer of GFC commissions a study on potential liabilities for the Hover-vees. The preliminary result is that Hover-vees will likely kill or maim humans at an increased rate of double to triple over automobile travel because of collisions and crashes at high speeds -- projected annual death rates of 100,000 to 200,000. However, global warming will end, and the environment will flourish.The U. S. Government gets wind of the plans. Congress begins to discuss the rules on who can own and operate Hover-vees. GFC's stock skyrockets. The Chief Engineer takes the results of the study to the Chief Legal Counsel, and together they agree to bury the study, going forward with the production plans. The Chief Project Manager, who has read the study and agreed to bury it, goes ahead and plans out the project for the company, with target dates and production deadlines.Our class is a team of young lawyers, project managers, engineers, and congressional aides who are all part of the process of helping get this project off the ground. In fact, according to the first letter of your last name, you are the following team:A-G: Attorney on the GFC teamH-N: Project Manager on the GFC team0-S: Engineer on the GFC teamT-Z: Congressional AideSomebody sent a secret copy of the report to you at your home address. It has no information in it at all, except for the report showing the proof of the increase in accidents and deaths. The report shows, on its face, that the CLO, CE, CPM, and your Congressional Representative have seen copies of this report. On the front there are these words typed in red: They knew — they buried this. Please save the world!Each of you feel a very loyal tie to your boss and your company/country. You all have mortgages, and families to feed. It is likely if you blow the whistle on this report, you will lose your job and your livelihood. You're not even sure who wrote the study in your envelope or who actually sent it to you.Now to the task at hand:Utilizing your profession's code of ethics, what would be your first step? Who would you talk to first? Would you go to the press? Would you go to your boss? Should you do anything at all?Topic ( 1 page)Created a personal ethical philosophy and be able to discuss from which philosophies you created it and why the contents are important and meaningful for you. List its precepts. One of the great examples of ethics and morals in all of literature comes from Plato who wrote about the Ring of Gyges in The Republic, Book II, starting at paragraph 359a. For those who wish to read the whole story, here is a link to the story -- Ring of Gyges (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..The story goes that Gyges was a shepherd in the service of the King. In a most unusual circumstance he came upon a dead man, removed the man's ring, and discovered that it made him invisible. He conspired to take the periodic report of the shepherds to the King -- once there he seduced the Queen and eventually took control of the Kingdom by conspiring with the Queen. Plato continues the story:" Suppose now that there were two such magic rings, and the just put on one of them and the unjust the other; no man can be imagined to be of such an iron nature that he would stand fast in justice. No man would keep his hands off what was not his own when he could safely take what he liked out of the market, or go into houses and lie with any one at his pleasure, or kill or release from prison whom he would, and in all respects be like a God among men. Then the actions of the just would be as the actions of the unjust; they would both come at last to the same point. And this we may truly affirm to be a great proof that a man is just, not willingly or because he thinks that justice is any good to him individually, but of necessity, for wherever any one thinks that he can safely be unjust, there he is unjust. For all men believe in their hearts that injustice is far more profitable to the individual than justice, and he who argues as I have been supposing, will say that they are right."This story raises up the question of what sanctions prevent people from just taking any liberties they are inclined to take. The whole subject of ethics, seen in large scale, is that of accepting and living under moral standards.1. Using YOUR personal ethical statement that you have created, what would you do if you had that second ring?
