Social work is about working with the client and not for the client. At times, it is the client who teaches the social worker and they, themselves, may find the answers from within as they travel such pedagogical journey. This is a Freirean approach where the educator is never the “expert” and must have the humility to be taught by the students. This approach promotes confidence, advocacy and more importantly, critical thinking skills with individuals, groups, and communities.Assignment: Choose a group presented through the readings in week’s 4 & 5 (Asian Americans, Latin Americans, Black Americans, Native Americans, Middle Eastern Americans).Present a powerpoint presentation on the group.  In addition to the presentation’s introduction, agenda, and conclusion your presentation should include (any order you see fit as flow is important) the following criteria:1) Summary of the readings (you can do it separately and in sequence) or both at the same time. This depends on the construction of your presentation2) Relationship between the set of articles on all groups (5 points)3) Your social justice perspectives of the articles (opinions, agreements, disagreements, critical thoughts (this needs to be supported by research rather than just unsubstantiated comments. This means you’ll need to cite sources in your presentation). You will need at least three peer-reviewed sources and as many non-peer reviewed (books, government data, etc.) as needed4) Tie the articles’ contents to external world, national, and/or local events (present or past)5) Tie one related social work theory per article6) Discuss theGrand Challenges of for Social Work (Links to an external site.)and if your chosen group’s needs, based on the Grand Challenges for Social Work, is a part of strategic plan for our profession moving forward.https://grandchallengesforsocialwork.org/ (Links to an external site.)7) Presentation style, clarity of powerpoint slides, correct APA citation, flow, and timeliness.ReadingsChapter 11 Latino Families (An Overview) Nydia Garcia-PretoChapter 16 Family, Socialization Environment, and Identity Development in Black Americans James.S.

Clients’ and Students’ Rights and Ethical Behavior

Counselors who work with children and adolescents often need to balance their clients’ or students’ rights, their own views of moral and ethical behavior, and the demands of ethical codes and state laws.Choose one of the following vignettes:A 13-year-old boy describes himself as being gay and discloses he has been sexually intimate with his 17-year-old friend LeRoy for the past 3 months. He is worried he may have a sexually transmitted disease. He wants your advice and support but does not want you to tell his parents.A 17-year-old girl reveals she is 4 months pregnant and is terrified to tell her parents or the father of the child; she believes they will force her to keep the baby. The girl admits she has already contacted a couple she found on the Internet to discuss placing the baby for adoption when it is born. She wants your help with her mood as she has been very sad and depressed.A 16-year-old boy who has an underlying medical disorder that causes chronic pain reveals he has been receiving medical marijuana from his dad who has a medical marijuana card. He wants your help communicating with his teacher who feels he has been distant and sluggish in class.Now, answer these questions:Is there anything in this vignette that is illegal? Cite your state law.Is there anything in this vignette that is unethical? Cite the relevant codes from the 2014 ACACode of Ethics and/or the 2010 ASCA Ethical Standards for School Counselors.Is there anything in this vignette that conflicts with your personal beliefs? If so, discuss strategies to help you maintain your professional role and objectivity.

FOR NICOHWILLIAM ONLY

Read “Topic 6: Vargas Family Case Study.” Develop three experiential interventions that you would use with the Vargas family.It’s time to get creative! You have noticed that the Vargas family struggles with emotional expression, particularly with congruent emotional expression (i.e., words, actions, and body language being congruent). Using the Experiential Interventions Template, create three unique experiential interventions that you would use with the family and describe how they would be helpful to the family. It may be helpful to refer to the library articles for ideas and inspiration, but do not copy existing interventions. Be sure to fully address each section in the template for each of the three interventions in your paper:Title of your InterventionGeneral GoalsMaterials NeededAdvance Preparation NeededDescription of the Intervention with the Vargas familyDiscussion of the Benefits of the Intervention to the Vargas FamilyReferences (if any)
