1. If I was an administrator of a community mental health center, I would probably not make a huge deal about proper boundaries. They are still important and I would address them, but I do not think I would hold an all staff meeting, unless boundaries became a serious concern. At the time of being hired, I would probably create a form in addition to all of the other new employee paperwork. The form would simply be all of the rules clearly stated regarding what the rules are in respect to proper boundaries with supervisors and supervisees, and each individual would have to sign it. It would include the information found on page 148 of the book: supervisory context, learning plan, format and schedule, accountability, conflict resolution, …show more content…
If I was the supervisor of three-five students, I would be sure that patients are aware that their social worker was in fact, a student. I would address this right away in the informed consent when a new patient would come in. This would be done by informing the patient that although they will be receiving the proper care needed, their social worker is still a student. If the patient has any questions about what this means in regards to the service they will receive, they are free to ask. It is never okay that a student would lie to a patient by telling them that they are a trained professional. In case 4.3 the social work student was told not to share that she was a student. This is not fair for the student or the client. If a student is lying about their status as a student and claims that he or she is a professional, this puts a lot of pressure on the individual that everything has to be done well and there is not room for mistake. Although professionals make mistakes as well, I feel as though a student would have a lot more pressure to reach perfection if he or she claimed to be a …show more content…
If I was a professor looking for individuals to help conduct a program evaluation for a local community action program, it would be important to consider the risks and benefits of hiring a student. During this hiring process, I would treat my student just as I would any other applicant. If my student was just as hirable as everybody else, it seems to me like it would almost be discrimination if I did not hire him. The reason being I would see it as discrimination is because I would be treating someone unfairly due to their status as a student. However, in hiring a student it would be important to have clear boundaries. At school, the student is just that—a student. At work, the individual is an employee. School work should not be mentioned at the job, and work should not be mentioned at the school. As a Christian, I strive to treat everyone equally. I would not be treating the student very equal if I did not even consider hiring him. Chances are that even if I was not the one leading this job, and he heard about this opportunity, he would still be interested in participating. However, if I was aware of him attempting to push boundaries in the past, I would look at this situation a little bit different. I would really look into and see if he was sincerely interested in the job, or if he was only interested because he knew who would be leading
