Goal: Braydon often refuses to follow or comply with requests and rules, even when reasonable. He will clearly lessen the frequency of passive-aggressive behaviors as evidenced by conveying anger and frustration through controlled, respectful, and direct statements and no more than three disciplinary referrals during the Second Nine Weeks. Intervention: MHP taught Braydon how to identify negative, hostile, and defiant behaviors, and develop new ways to reframe these behaviors in more pro-social terms. MHP taught his grandmother how to change her predictable response to reestablish control in positive, but creative ways.

• CG 4.1 How do you ensure that families are kept aware of what 's happening in their child 's daily/weekly life in your program? I make sure that families are kept aware of their child’s life on a daily and weekly basis by providing them with the information from their child’s day on a daily report. I also make sure that I communicate with them both positive and negative things are their child’s day. I want to keep a healthy relationship between myself and the child’s parents and to do so I need to communicate with them about their child’s day.
Assessment is also taken care of, as the family knows their strengths and limitations. They need intervention as they still need help resolving their concerns and problems, they need initiate actions to achieve their goals. The family has needed to change their lives around some to accommodate for the new family member that will be living with them, which is a primary need. They need to find a way to handle the new family member and the needs of this new member, as their needs are not needs that the family has had to deal with. The family has already changed how their live is as they have hired extra help; Teresa has changed her schedule around to accommodate for her mother’s needs and doctor appointments.

The evaluation will reveal if the program’s services aid in the healing of the children and allow them a speedier recovery time because they have their families by their sides. An evaluation will also demonstrate if the program meets the goal of easing financial strain by providing a home away from home for families. The evaluation will look at the Coastal Empire chapter to determine if they adjust to meet the needs of sick children and their families in Savannah. Information for the evaluation was collected from the RMHC stakeholders previously listed.
AA Meeting Reflection Many people who have never had an addiction may not understand the difficulty of becoming better, and that is because we have never been in circumstances where our life depended upon a substance (Berry & Ramnath, 2013). However, for people who have had a substance addiction, the difficulty to becoming better is harder because they need to regain control over their thoughts and lives. According to the alcoholic anonymous recovery program, a twelve-step meeting is a very efficient program that helps people regain control over their thoughts and their lives. One vital part of this program is the twelve traditions and twelve steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. Although the overall goal of this meeting is for members to stay sober while
DCS was initially integrated with fssa welfare but around 2005 DCS separated from the fssa. Innovators at DCS initiated a practice roll out around the end of 2006. Within this new practice model it emphasized engaging families. One effective model of practice implemented in 2008 was that of CFTM (child and family team meetings). In 2008 DCS workers began training and learning how to engage families though cftms.
The community group I visited was Beaches Unity Group, which was located at 322 Penman Road. This was an Alcoholics Anonymous group that provided open discussion for people who were both struggling with alcohol abuse, as well as addiction. It gave the participants an opportunity to introduce themselves, and tell their background story. There where also opportunities to offer advice to the other members. I decided to sit in an AA group because there is history of alcoholism in my family, and so I was curious to hear the stories of other people, and how they are coping with their disorder.
I was interested in hearing stories and experiences of those who struggled with drug addiction. I wondered if I would receive any insight regarding my family members who have suffered from drug addiction. Going into the meeting, I was prepared to introduce myself if necessary and did not hold feelings of anxiety regarding the potential necessity for introduction. Upon arrival, I noticed a big church with various entrances. I was unsure where to enter and did not want to enter into the wrong door.
Describe how plan is adapted to contextual factors: The family is included in all phases of treatment and the family dynamic that contributes to Tim’s current symptoms will be directly addressed in session. Family developmental stage (separation) will be considered in conceptualizing treatment plan and defining goals and interventions that are likely to be meaningful for the family. Individual sessions are offered when deemed appropriate. Child friendly language and technique will be used to engage Tim during the session. Religious faith and community will be considered as possible resources for healing.
During this developmental interview, I chose to conduct an observation/interview study with my one of my cousin’s child. This child is a 4 year old girl and will be identified as “child K” in relation to her first name. Her parents had no problem letting me interview her, but I had them stay in the same room as us. The purpose of this interview was to observe the child’s physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development. I observed her behavior and gave her several tests to show how well she has progressed.
Since the program has already started, it may be best to do these steps immediately to make sure that all of the stakeholders are on the same page as far as goals and objectives as far as existing information or create an evaluability assessment to get the key stakeholders come to agreement on realistic program goals, evaluation criteria, and intended uses of evaluation information. The logic model or assessment would then inform what further questions need to be answered, the performance targets, what data needs to be collected and how the data should be analyzed. Since there are five components of this intervention, some of which have already ended, I would employ specific data collection methods for each of the intervention components using school administrations and teachers to collect and turn in the data for both the treatment and control groups (assuming the biases can be avoided or controlled for). For the small group activities after school, it is recommended to use an already developed assessment/questionnaire, administered by a credible after school teacher, to evaluate the change in possible selves perspective and future
This week I had to present an activity in the staff meeting on how we perceive ourselves and how others view us. The activity involved writing an introduction speech relating to an award. I think the staff had fun with the activity and I learned more about how the staff perceived themselves. I was able to improve on my presentation skills when communicating in front of team of professionals. At each staff meeting that I attend I have been learning a lot about what other staff members do at the agency.
