Instructions
Clinical social workers understand how to synthesize evidence-based research from a variety of sources to deepen their understanding of practice strategies and how to use that knowledge to implement and evaluate services. The first assignment allowed you to research intervention strategies and develop your own professional toolkit to assist you with your developing professional practice. The final project is due week 14 and had periodic scaffolded due dates to help you plan your time and project.

You are socialized within a culture the moment you are born, both through your family and your broader community interactions.
As humans develop and mature, they learn the unwritten rules of social behavior and interaction as they watch and participate in their social environment. An individual’s culture is often influenced by nationality, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, and geographic location.
By recognizing you have a culture in the context of a larger culture, and that your distinct culture exists along with other distinct cultures, how could that help you see the nature, value, and strengths of those other cultures? In this Discussion, you consider similar questions.
TO PREPARE
Consider the different aspects of culture such as: language, communication style, art, customs/traditions (e.g., holidays, weddings, funerals), values, stories, religion, food, social habits (e.g., eye contact, how close one stands, how one greets or says “good”), gender roles, clothing, music.
Reflect on the first time you remember someone else displaying a different cultural characteristic than your own. Where were you? What did you notice? How did you respond?
Read Standard 1.05 from the NASW Code of Ethics:
https://www.socialworkers.org/About/Ethics/Code-of…
1.05 Cultural Awareness and Social Diversity
(a) Social workers should understand culture and its function in human behavior and society, recognizing the strengths that exist in all cultures.
(b) Social workers should have a knowledge base of their clients’ cultures and be able to demonstrate competence in the provision of services that are sensitive to clients’ cultures and to differences among people and cultural groups.
(c) Social workers should obtain education about and seek to understand the nature of social diversity and oppression with respect to race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, and mental or physical ability.
(d) Social workers who provide electronic social work services should be aware of cultural and socioeconomic differences among clients and how they may use electronic technology. Social workers should assess cultural, environmental, economic, mental or physical ability, linguistic, and other issues that may affect the delivery or use of these service.
Post a response to the following:Briefly identify and describe your culture.
Describe your first memory of a cultural difference.
Explain the information a social worker would need to know about an individual’s or family’s culture in order to effectively deliver services to them.
Describe potential consequences of a lack of cultural awareness on the social worker’s part
Support your post with examples from the course text and any other resources used to respond to this Discussion. Demonstrate that you have completed the required readings, understand the material, and are able to apply the concepts. Include a full reference of resources at the bottom of the post.

Record and post a 2- to 3-minute video in which you respond to the mother’s question about “just stopping” using opioids. In your video, be sure to:
Describe the impact of substance use/misuse on the brain.
Explain the implications in terms of the client’s ability to “just stop” using.
Use professional and plain language to communicate.

please respond to the peer post below
How might a social worker apply ” Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs” to assess client needs. Explain your answer.
Discuss poverty from a Functionalism perspective. Give at least 2 examples of how poverty could be considered to be functional or advantageous for those who control society.
“Abraham Maslow (1954, 1968, 1971) viewed humans as having tremendous potential for personal development. He believed it was human nature for people to seek to know more about themselves and to strive to develop their capacities to the fullest” (Zastrow, Kirst-Ashman, & Hessenauer, 2019, p. 492). The Maslow’s Theory is a compass to help social workers navigate through all the individuals and the community’s needs. Understanding your clients’ needs is where I would start with the Maslow Theory. Every person is different and we must piece together what is missing for them. With the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs theory, I would focus on safety and physiological needs, self-esteem, belonging, immediate verse long term care needs, client advocacy finding resources for clients and recognizing the unmet needs of the clients, cultural considerations using the Maslow’s Hierarchy theory to align with the cultural values of the clients. I would also focus on professional development and self-care meaning respecting the clients needs, helping them pursue their own goals and help them stay motivated in their careers and that might want them to help others.
“According to the functionalist perspective, all social systems have a tendency toward equilibrium- maintenance of a steady state or particular balance, in which the parts of the system remain in the same relationship to one another” (Zastrow, Kirst-Ashman, & Hessenauer, 2019, p. 546). Functionalism exists because it serves a purpose in society and that can include motivating people so they work hard to pursue their success. Someone who is a functionalist for example would say that poverty helps to maintain a stable supply of low wage labor for economic growth. In the United States there are so many low wage jobs and those jobs are filled by workers who live in poverty and they would think that serves a purpose for maintaining a stable work place that is necessary for this economy to function properly. Another example would be poor people doing the work that other people do not want to do or the poor purchasing goods such as days old food because it is marked down or purchasing used clothes that other people do not want and those three examples show that is it functional because that is what happens. Now we can see why the middle and upper class especially the upper class do not help out in poverty so that they can ensure it continues.

Engage in the interactive media: Case Study – John the Inmate Transcript
Apply what you have learned about engagement, assessment, planning, and intervention (Workshops 3-6), as well as ethical practice, to complete the dialogue successfully.
Take good notes about John’s needs, risks, strengths, resources, and goals, just as you would if you were conducting this interview in a real-world scenario.

Based on the prior interaction and all supporting documents, write a discharge plan for John. It should be between 200 and 300 words in length. Your discharge plan should ensure that John’s needs will be met as thoroughly as possibly once he leaves the treatment facility. Consider the following factors:Living arrangements
Financial needs
Transportation plans
Vocational and/or educational plans
Personal and professional support
Cultural needs and resources
Ongoing treatment needs and plans
Medications and medical equipment needs
Include any other factors you think relate to a discharge plan for this client, such as caring for his spiritual needs, if applicable.
Imagine that one week prior to John’s release, Dr. Brimmer and you (the intern) meet with John to review his discharge plan and discuss termination as noted in Transition Planning Notes II. Dr. Brimmer has worked with John for some time, and you have now been involved on his case, so the termination discussion is an important step in saying goodbye to this client. In the same document you produced to write the discharge plan, write a brief, skilled, and empathetic termination dialogue that is ethical and supports John’s continuing progress as he transitions from the prison. It should be between 200 and 300 words in length. In italics or brackets within the dialogue, describe attending behaviors and nonverbal communication that you could use to support engagement. Include the following talking points:Clarification about the end of the professional relationship
Summary of the client’s accomplishments and strengths
Summary of the client’s ongoing needs
Summary of the client’s discharge plan
Summary of the client’s resources and support people
Well wishes and any positive sentiment
