The following social policies and macro issues impact Neveah’s case: education, child mental health, and Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) equality. In 1974 congress passes the Education of the Handicapped Act, which required schools to provide mental health services to children with serious emotional disturbances (SED) (Fraser & Lanier, 2006). This protocol was included in the child’s Individual Education Plan (IEP) and helped them gain additional resources in the school setting (Fraser & Lanier, 2006). Prior to residential treatment, Neveah attended a public school and had an IEP. Due to this law and her PTSD diagnosis, Neveah received individualized support from a designated teacher, and was allowed to excuse herself from class in the event that she became triggered or emotionally volatile. Her IEP guidelines are also followed at the RTC’s school and will be resumed when she returned to public school after her discharge. …show more content…

St. Orient's Case Study

186 Words | 1 Pages

Good Morning Ellen: I hope all is well with you and the Bronx Prevention programs. I left a message for you on 7/14/17 regarding a possible linkage between Good Shepherd’s Prevention programs and St. Dominic’s Non-Medicaid Care Coordination program. The Care Coordination program works with children with Severe Emotional Behaviors who do not qualify for Health Homes. The idea for the linkage was to provide St. Dominic’s community support for children who are ready for discharge, but would need additional support. It has come to my attention that St. Dominic’s has a Prevention program, and it is the Department of Health’s expectation that they refer the children from the Care Coordination to their own Prevention program first.

Nclb Act Pros And Cons

247 Words | 1 Pages

Although the NCLB Act implemented in 2001 has shown great efforts for trying to ensure the equality for all students, it does not successfully provide effective achievement for minorities, underprivileged kids, or students with disabilities across the nation. Implementers of the NCLB Act should create a more personalized version to accommodate children with certain disabilities in addition to the regular version of the act. The NCLB Act that was created in 2001 ensures that regular children capable of learning like the average student get the appropriate service to react to the government’s state academic assessments, but those who require special accommodations although have been successful enough to improve test scores, still are not meeting

GSAs have been protected from legal actions due to the Equal Access Act and the United States Constitution’s First Amendment (Mercier, 2009). Nevertheless, some school boards and administrators continue to change policy and legislation using “extreme measures . . . to prevent GSAs from organizing and meeting on school premises reveal[ing] that the deep animus of local communities and school board officials towards gay and lesbian individuals is in fact the driving force behind their actions” (Mercier, 2009, p. 179).

Some of those treatments may include having to attend conversion therapy. The young LGBTQ+ adults may not get the final say in whether they go to treatment or not (Hein and Matthews). But, according to Christopher Blackwell from the University of Central Florida, “Strong evidence indicates the effects of these therapies on GLBT clients can be harmful and damaging and in fact, result in serious psychological trauma to clients.” As a result of having gone to reparative therapy some patients have come forward and said that the after effects of attending has attributed to them having “anger, depression, suicidal ideations, and sexual dysfunction” (Sandley).
