Watch the presentation on Intervention that demonstrates Motivational Interviewing.

1. Using subheadings based on the discussion prompts to organize your post.

Consider how the NASW Code of Ethics applies to the intervention phase of the social work practice framework and how it applies to this case study scenario.

Write one paragraph that describes the specific ethical Principals and Standards demonstrated during the intervention with this client.

Reflecting on the video, what theoretical approaches would you use in your interventions?

Write one paragraph that describes your chosen theory-based interventions and how you would use the interventions with the client.

Motivational Interviewing ( direct quote from text) Motivational interviewing incorporates many theories used in social work practice, but most notable are the Rogaine theory, cognitive theory, and the trans synthetical model of change. Because it also emphasizes acceptance, empathy, and non-judgmental approach and belief in client, autonomy and self-determination, motivational interviewing has a good fit with the profession and the values of social work. (p.253 Cummings & Seville 2021.

Veronica is a 15-year-old Caucasian girl who presented as a volunteer for a study of nonsuicidal self-injury. Veronica began cutting herself at age 13 in seventh grade after learning about this behavior from friends. After trying it once or twice, she said, she was hooked. Initially she cut herself on her forearms, but then switched to her upper thighs to conceal the injuries. Veronicas primary reason for engaging in self-injury was to release built-up emotional pressure. Episodes typically occurred after an emotional conflict with her parents or a perceived rejection by a peer. The frequency of self-injury episodes ebbed and flowed, ranging from daily to monthly.

As stated, a skillset you will need as a crisis worker as well as for your final will be to provide an education statement, validation statement, empowering statement, and a reframing statement (hardest). These types of statements are an important aspect of therapeutic interactions as highlighted back in chapter 3.

In response to Veronica’s crisis, provide four responses for EACH type of statement discussed. The text provides additional examples of these types of statements throughout the text.

1) After reviewing the case presented, outline the important aspects of NSSI that are important for helping professionals to understand. Must Cite in APA format – 5 points

2) Therapeutic Statements – In response to Veronica’s crisis, provide four responses for EACH type of statement discussed. The text provides additional examples of these types of statements throughout the text.

• Validation Statement – validating a client’s emotions, feelings, and reactions in order to help them feel normal or typical for someone experiencing this same type of issue. Helps them not feel alone or abnormal.
• Educational Statement – providing factual information as it applies to the crisis (statistics or frequency of the crisis/response, info to increase a client’s knowledge about the crisis/response, info on coping skills/techniques, etc.) – Must CITE in APA format
• Empowering Statement – clients who have been victimized, violated or feel helpless respond well to empowerment or responses that encourage clients and help present helpful choices that help them take back personal power.
• Reframing Statement – takes a situation or crisis and defines it in a different way. It redefines the situation from a danger to an opportunity as discussed earlier in the text. It is not rationalizing away the problem but highlighting it in a different way so that the client can have a new/different perspective that helps promote healing.

3) Coping Mechanisms & Interventionsare another important aspect of the ABC Model. What coping techniques would be best for this client to consider as well as referrals you might initate and why? – Must CITE in APA format

Your response should be in APA format: Use this link for one of the references

This is a biopsychosocial spiritual assessment. I have started by answering some of the questions need assistance with completing and putting together. Please see attachment.

This draft helps you plan a project you can carry out this semester. You will use it to workshop your ideas and to build your next capstone components.

What to do

1. Open the template attached to this assignment.
2. Complete Step 1: Project Snapshot (stakeholders, problem vs. need, feasibility) BEFORE attending class.
3. Complete Step 2: Logic Model Table for one focused capstone component.
4. Answer the reflection questions and complete the project-type check at the end of the template.

This means that you will upload the entire, completed file for Application Activity 2.

Important directions and a “refresher”

• Pick one training session or one secondary data analysis focus. Do not model your entire agency.
• Start with Activities (what you will do). Then work backward (Inputs) and forward (Outputs and Outcomes).
• Outputs are counts or products. Outcomes are changes.
• Include at least two entries in each logic model column. Add rows if you need them.
• Use realistic resources and outcomes you can measure this semester.

How to earn full credit (rubric can be found attached to this assignment)

• Complete and ready for peer review: all sections finished and readable.
• Connected to course content: applies course concepts to evaluation decisions.
• Specific to your capstone: clearly tied to your field setting and your project plan.
• Ready to build on: focused enough that you can use it for next steps without starting over.

Common issues to avoid

• Vague outcomes (example: clients improve without defining what changes).
• Mixing outputs and outcomes.
• Choosing outcomes you cannot measure with your time or data access.
• Scope that is too broad (multiple programs, multiple trainings, multiple big questions).

Follow all directions and do as it’s stated up above following the Logic Model Template

Application Activity 2: Using Logic Models to Get Focused in the files based on my Capstone Proposal that’ll also be in the files as well. Answering all questions based on the Staff Training at my agency Southeastern Integrated Care as a CST QP and SACOT/SAIOP facilitator. ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS USING THE TEMPLATE IN THE FILES

I have uploaded my replies and the instructions.

– Introduction

You must complete an initial post and reply to at least one peer to receive full credit for your discussion posts. If you create an initial post without a response, you will only receive a partial grade. Responses that do not include an initial post will receive ZERO points.

• Original posts should consist of at least 150-250 words. No points will be deducted for longer postings.
• Response postings should be within a range of 75 -100 words. No points will be deducted for longer postings.

Hello Class,

Since we have been out of class for two weeks, I want to ensure that you are reviewing the assigned chapters and comprehending the information.

You must remain abreast of the weekly content because the knowledge you gain will be essential to the skills needed to facilitate GROUPS.

Please use this platform to address the components below.

Chapter 17 focuses on your own Self-Awareness, and awareness of others when relating to interpretation, empathy, additive empathy, and confrontation.

• Demonstrate what it means to engage in ethical ways that keep the relationship intact when practicing interpretation, empathy, additive empathy, and confrontation.

Chapter 10 focuses on the dimensions used to assess families. It provides a framework for family assessment that is consistent with family-based evidence-based practices.

• In the role of the social worker, demonstrate what interpersonal facilitative and communication skills are needed during the assessment phase? What strengths assessment tool(s) would you develop or utilize to assess a family (For example, dealing with children under six who are left unsupervised for several hours)?

What concerns, anxieties, and misgivings (If any) do you have about working with diverse families?

What skills do you think it takes to lead a group?

Describe how you feel about leading a group?
