If you work for a health care organization, assess its approach to health equity following the framework. You can chose a local healthcare organization to research and assess instead. In your post, provide us

-with basics of the organization you chose (location, business type, level of care, population served…) in a very short paragraph.

-Offer us the assessment conclusions you arrived to and provide your reasoning for one that you found the most positive or the most negative.

-Offer examples supporting your conclusions or other evidence if available.

-Offer one strategy to negate the bias (make sure to define what that bias is for your organization) in building community connections.

–Explain why you think your strategy would work for the area/population and that organization.

He was with the juvenile who stabbed the victim and admitted to police that he knew that the first juvenile had a knife and was going to rob ” some homeless people”. Juvenile #2 has been in contact with police on two prior occasions. Once for shoplifting and once for disorderly conduct. He was sentenced to alcohol counseling and anger management by the juvenile court.  Juvenile #2 told police he didn’t know that his friend was going to stab “that homeless guy”. He stated that he went along with the crime because he was bored. The victim is very upset because he feels that he was targeted because he is a loser and he believes he should be dead.Answer and discuss the following in your discussion board:

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME (THIS PART IS JUST TO GUIDE YOU): my name is Janina Lopez. I am 26 years old, and I’m from Colombia. I came to the United States 12 years ago with my parents looking for a better future. I live in Miami Florida, and I am majoring in social work.

I am a Hispanic woman; my religion is Catholic due to the beliefs of my parents, and I respect that and the religion of each person. my sexuality is heterosexual. I am a bit introverted; I like to read a lot and my state of health is very healthy and I have medical insurance. In Colombia, we lived in the middle class, but we lived very well. My parents and I had the opportunity to come to the United States. At first, it was very difficult for me to learn English since it was a new language for me since I suffered from bullying in middle school for that reason, but in the end, I was able to learn to speak and write English, which I am proud of. I like the way my parents think because they taught me that studying is very important and having a career to get ahead is not only getting married and being a housewife and having children but not depending on anyone and putting myself first and thinking about every step, I take to become the person I want to be. My family and I value things very much and we always say that things are obtained by fighting and working honestly. My family and I believe in democracy, and we do not agree with the injustices since we come from a country where many injustices are seen, and human rights are violated. That was one of the reasons why I wanted to be a social worker to respect human rights and raise my voice for those people who cannot.

Screening Strategies

Instructions

The NIAA’s training “Clinician’s Guide Online Training: Helping Patients Who Drink Too Much” offers case examples of the way a social worker might decide to use a specific screening while working with a client. This training can be accessed in the objectives, readings, and resources section of this module in canvas. This discussion is your opportunity to apply your learning about diagnosis and screening to a specific client case.

Please respond to the following:

Think about one client in your current (or previous) practicum/workplace who is (or was) at risk for a substance use disorder. Provide background information so that other classmates can understand who the client is, why you would be concerned about substance use, and the setting in which treatment would be taking place.

Determine the screening tool or screening tools that would make the most sense for determining the client’s substance use disorder. Provide research-based evidence to support your reasoning. You can look to screenings we have discussed in class and/or do research to determine if a better-fit screening tool is available.
Pretend that you conducted this screening and answer the screening in the way you believe the client would answer. Using these results to inform your decision making, offer the client a DSM-5 diagnosis (or explain why the client does not meet criteria). Be sure to describe the way the client meets the diagnostic criteria.
Offer a reflection of the utility of this screening tool with your client population and whether it is helpful for determining risk-level and diagnosis. Please share any other reflections or questions you might have about screening tools and diagnosis here; remember that your classmates are a wealth of information!

Initial Post Prompt:200 – 300 words in length. Be sure to use APA style and format If you use in-text citations and references.
