The case study I chose to explore was Carl and the theory I chose was Ecological Perspective. When analyzing Carlâ€s case many different challenges are present. First, challenge would loss of job and income. The case study does not state on how long he worked there or if he enjoyed the work he did. I would believe that would be hard for him to no longer provide financial for his family. Second challenge would be the death of his wife. He was married for 19 years and she handled the day to day process of the home. With these two life changing events obviously brought different forms of stress on Carl. Case notes do describe that he has reached out to local community members to help with the assistance of the children, he has reached out to his church for emotional support, his local doctor for medication and therapist to help work thru his emotional stress. Carl has also started journaling which will assist him in processing his emotions and helping him achieve his goal of pre-crisis functioning.
In examining Carlâ€s case, many social systems are used. Community members, church, family and physicians. These social systems relate to each other by the factor that they are all assisting to help Carl and his family. These systems are driven to helpful and give that sense of community and provide resources to other members in the community that need help.
Ecological Perspective can be applied to Carl as “Ecosystems theory focuses on transactions between people and their environments. Thus, the ecological notion of interface, or common boundaries between systems, is an important component of this theory. Interface, according to Germain (1978, p. 545), “takes into account the fluidity in the arena of social functioning in which both the person and environment are involved.†“Goodness of fit†between people and their environments enables people and their environments to reciprocally adapt to one another†(Robbins, Chatterjee, & Canda, 2012, pg.33). We see in his case that his environment can affect him negativity or positivity. Examples would be family members helping with child care to physicians prescribing medication. Once he reached out for help, he started achieving goals and living a healthier life.

An explanation of the various social systems involved in the case study you selected
During this week discussion question, I chose the case of Noah. Noah is a 10 year old multiracial male that has been displaying destructive and aggressive behaviors which has caused him issues with residing with his family (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014). Currently, Noah has been placed into Foster Care due to his behavioral issues and his mother not being consistent with his medical appointments (Plummer, Makris, & Brocksen, 2014). When you think about social systems, you think about people and/or organizations that interacts with other parties on behalf of someone to accomplish a positive outcome for that person ( Robbins, Chatterjee, & Canda, 2012). In this case, Noah had his family, social services, mental health services, foster family, and child protective services. All of these systems worked together to provided Noah with the help he needed and finding justifications and solutions to his behaviors such as mental health diagnoses and treatment.
Explain how these social systems might relate to one another
All of the systems relate to one another, because all of the above systems are put into place to protect and assist the child which is Noah. These systems are also related because they are recognized as “boundaries of larger social systems” (Robbins, Chatterjee, & Canda, 2012, pg. 39). Social services, mental health services, foster care services, and child protective services are all related because they work together to understand the client problem areas, identify the client needs, and provide the client with the helped needed to promote the well-being of the client. All of these systems then interact with the family to obtain valuable information about the client, provide the family with resources, and other assistance needed so that a child such as Noah could be placed back into the home and be successful.
Describe the systems theory you selected and explain how you might apply it to that case study using specific social work skills.
With the case of Noah, I believe that the Dynamic Systems of Theory might apply to this case. The dynamic systems of theory look at the biology, psychology, and sociology areas to explain behaviors and the functions of behaviors (Robbins, Chatterjee, & Canda, 2012). The dynamic system of theory can be applied to this case because it looks at how the family may influence other family members, how families develop “patterns and developmental processes”, and how the families work with other agencies such as social services etc. (Robbins, Chatterjee, & Canda, 2012, pg. 35). This can be applied in the social work practice by gathering information about the family dynamics and behaviors through assessments. Along with that, this theory could be applied by linking the client to other social service services that will benefit the client well-being and his or her family.

Confidentiality is highly important in the social work field. It is the Federal Law that when a client discloses information it is to stay between the staff member and the client, unless what was disclosed was going to be harming to the client, then you report it to your boss and take further legal steps. With confidentiality being under the federal law clients information can only be disclosed if ordered by the courts, a client gave consent and waived he/she rights. If any of those matters are not being take into action the clients information is not to be disclosed with anyone.
While in undergrad when did a lot of role-playing, my professor gave the scenario of a staff member meeting with the wife of a client whom in which the husband previously shared he had HIV. Now in most cases your humanly insistent would be to share that information with the wife, however as the social worker it is not your place to disclose that information to the wife. It is up to the client to share that information and you be a source of support rather it be at that present time or at a later date.
Mandated reporting is very important. With my current job as a family worker we are certified mandated reports and it is our duties to report situations no matter how small it is. We file reports when the children are hurt, and/or sick, if they come in with marks. Nonetheless, if the parents share information of Domestic violence in the home that the child may have been exposed too. Reporting such actions keeps all lines of communications open with the client and the social worker. Mandated reporters client information also is disclosed unless ordered by the courts, or given consent by the client.

Confidentiality can be something that we think we have under control but can easily be broken without even knowing it. I find confidentiality hard some times in my position as a mental health Case Manager in a small town where everyone knows who you are and your career. In my position it is important to let the client know that everything they say to me is confidential and that I have no right to release information unless they consent. As social workers we must follow the code of ethics and that includes the dignity and worth of a person (NASW, 2008). I find this hard because I can be out in public and see a client and I am not allowed to acknowledge them unless they acknowledge first, giving me permission to associate with them. My agency also forbids us to put where we work on our Facebook or social media due to help with confidentiality.
Building a trustworthy relationship with out clients is our main goal as social workers and if they do not feel that trust then the relationship might not work as planned. Social workers encounter this issue a lot with confidentiality as we work daily with other agencies in the field (Reamer, 2011). Mandated reporting must also be included in this as we as social workers are mandated reporters. We must break that confidentiality if someone’s life is in danger either through abuse or suicidal ideation. For our clients this could help them when they feel they are not strong enough to speak out for themselves or for those who cannot speak, social workers can give them a voice.
I am proud of the agency I work for and it’s goal to keep confidentiality. When I call someone or leave a message I am not even allowed to say the agency I work for as it can break confidentiality. It is little things like these that helps build the relationship but can also be easy to forget. I feel that the longer a person practices confidentiality the better they become at it.

For social workers, services to clients should be solely based on the professional provision of services. This should be done in the context of a professional relationship. For the client’s protection, this is handled by use of a signed informed consent document, Daly & Hickman (2011). Informed consent is an ethical responsibility that the social worker is charged with, National Association of Social Workers (2008).
Informed consent provides the client with knowledge regarding potential risks, consequences, and benefits of the proposed treatment Daly & Hickman (2011). Along with this, the client is also informed of their right to either refuse or withdraw their consent. Where there are circumstances that finds the client is unable to provide informed consent, the social worker will seek out a third party to act on their behalf. The social worker will act responsibility to ensure the third party acts in the client’s best interests, National Association of Social Workers (2008).

For this scenario I would have to try to talk to the boy and let him know that there is a two week wait to be seen. Due to there not being an emergency at this time and no suicidal ideation I feel that he would be safe to wait a couple weeks. I would not even have to let him know who I am if he could not tell from my voice. I would then make him an appointment to see my co-worker in two weeks for an assessment. I would give him ways to manage his depression until then, for example coping skills, trying to keep a sleep schedule, eat healthy and exercise. I would also refer him to his primary care doctor to talk to for medication options before his appointment if needed. Dual relationships give a risk to the social worker in not following the code of ethics (Daley & Hickman, 2011). I have had this issue multiple times as I currently work in a Mental Health agency for a small community in which I have lived my whole life. Every day I see someone I know or have seen around at my agency. I cannot talk to them or let any of my family or friends know I see them there. When I become a therapist here I will refuse to see people I know due to this reason, it would be uncomfortable and risk the outcome of treatment. I have had my best friend’s father come in for an assessment, instead of me doing his screen sheet I asked someone else to do it so that he was not uncomfortable.
If for some reason I had to work as a social worker with someone I knew personally I would reassure them that I have to remain confidential and not disclose anything they say to anyone. I would stress to them that I am trained to do this and that I would try my best to help them. As a social worker in a small community it is important to blend into the community and not try to act as if I were superior to others due to my position (Daley & Hickman, 2011). This will help to gain trust to those in the community as they may have to work with me one on one. There are arguments that a person knowing their social worker personally may help in building that bond and trust that helps that therapeutic bond (Zur & Lazarus, n.d.). In my opinion and my personal experience dual relationships should be avoided at all times.
