Choosing the leader was one of the most important processes in this project. The leader we chose for our group was Matt Vack. The first time meeting with the group we all talked about who wanted to be the leader and who should be the leader. We chose Matt because he felt comfortable leading us as a group and was confident about it, Matt also volunteered and said that he has no problem doing this. So then Matt was the chosen leader of this group for our project. Delegating the duties throughout…

While working in the field of social work and dealing with physical abuse cases, which can range from children being physically, sexually or mentally abused will be one of the most difficult parts of the job I think. I can remember as my previous job as a parent counselor I would have to process DCF referrals, which required me to meet with clients. Several times I would meet with children and their mothers.

I am not surprised at all about the false accusations that were committed during this case. As a matter of fact these false allegations occur quite often around the country. It is quite concerning when you hear about these troubling trends occurring in the judicial system.

I realize now leaving the situation is only the first step. Being able to say you are an overcomer or survivor of domestic violence means moving past it through healing. In the majority of my adult relationships I have…

Thousands of veterans suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, also called PTSD. Many of them have committed suicide from the pain of the disorder but many are also alive fighting through it. As a PTSD poster states “Having PTSD does not mean you are broken. It merely means you were put to the test and didn’t fall apart”. Studies show that only about half of the veterans who need mental health care seek treatment, some people get treatment from getting prescribed medicine, support animals or…

Standing up in front of the whole class was like being in a room full of sharks. Ms. Pops insisted that maybe Rina would share with the class another time. Writing down the examples, little giggles and whispers started. After a student asked about her big curly hair, some kids started laughing. “Everybody can’t be perfect. Can they?” (Pai and Schryver) Rina did her best to ignore the whispers and giggles coming from behind her back. It was not easy but she would just pay them no mind and look at…

The video Power and Control: Domestic Violence in America showed the harsh realities of those who are in abusive situations feel and live. I was able to see a strong women enable herself to leave a harmful situation and prosper by making a better life for herself and her family.
