Finding services outside the Panhandle Promise Project by contacting other agencies and services to meet our clients’ needs.

Plessy v. Ferguson (1896, 163 US 537) For centuries people of African descent have suffered of inhumane treatment, discrimination, racism, and segregation. Although in the United States, and in other countries, mistreatment and marginalization towards African descendants has stopped, the racism and discriminations has not.

They will likewise assist a drug user with becoming clean, and have them work on their family life. Amid the process there are many types of projects for various types of cases, a man is assessed and needs to meet all requirements for these programs through the drug courts. A drug court is not generally the alternative they have different programs out there that are less in cost. Starting with costs, there is evidence that the average cost of drug courts per client is higher than alternatives such as probation.

African Americans in South Carolina have faced systemic oppression and discrimination throughout history, including slavery, segregation, and institutionalized racism. This has shaped the state's society, culture, and identity. The experiences of African Americans in South Carolina have been marked by struggle, resistance, and perseverance.

By “acknowledging and recognizing, confronting, and addressing pervasive racism within social work practice at the individual, agency, and institutional level, and promote culturally competent social work interventions and research methodologies in the areas of social justice, well-being, and cost-benefit outcomes.” (Blank, 2013) The NASW supports cultural competence, which means people of different culture, class, background, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion, physical, and mental abilities, and anything among those areas are protected in a way because racism or any type of discrimination is not tolerated at any level whatsoever. One thing for sure is we do have to recruit a more diverse group of professionals. They need more of a diverse population according to a study done.

The Drug Treatment Alternative-to-Prison Program is another attempt to provide better treatment for people who are convicted. The study showed that drug offenders who underwent a treatment program outside of prison had a 26 percent less rate of re-arrest after two years than a control group that was sent to prison (Justice Policy Institute, 2010). Rehabilitative programs like the Second Chance Act and the Drug Treatment Alternative-to-Prison Program has shown to growth and positive

Modern social workers are frequently tasked with certain objectives by their agencies, which leave little room for any work beyond specific treatments and timeframes (Gitterman & Knight, 2016). Although social workers are bound to the set of ethics put forth by the NASW, practitioners are often limited to focusing on the issues of the individual rather than the larger societal issues that may be behind those concerns. Additionally, many social work students end up working in direct practice, rather than macro work. There is a need for social workers to engage at the macro level in order to facilitate community organization and empowerment. Critics suggest this theory may not take into account the unique experiences of each individual and perhaps key characteristics of the individual or group are not taken into consideration (Sadan, 1997).

Anti-oppressive practice is also an approach of work in the social work that gives great emphasis to social change, empowerment, and partnership. Through anti-oppressive practice the problem of the individual is seen in a greater context: the individual, cultural, and societal and structural aspects are taken into consideration in the understanding of the problem and in its potential solutions. (Thompson 2002) developed the PCS model in other to fully grasp the full understanding of the individual, cultural and society which should influence the way social workers work with people of Black and ethnic minority and other oppressed groups. Intervention in the lives of the client should not only take place at the personal level but also cultural and structural in many cases all this level are interwoven. Power and Empowerment

Social work is a career that I have recently become interested in pursuing. I spent many years with misconceptions concerning the sector. However, following three years of working close by these experts, I have picked up a more profound comprehension of the significance of the work. I am especially interested in working in child welfare along with terminally ill children. I have got to a stage in my career where I have started to search out instruction that will make me more efficient in creating plans and providing services for vulnerable people.

My passion for helping and supporting those whose economic and financial standings have hindered their growth in our society, has driven me towards social work. I feel I have exhausted every possible avenue in my current degree field. Pursuing a master’s in Social Work, will give me the diversity that I need, while aiding me in bringing my dreams of working more in depth with clients, by helping assist them with their individual needs and issues to reality. The Social work field also offers versatility which allows me to work in many dimensions, such as clinical, case management, and many other composites which enables me to help every population. Becoming a social worker gives me other benchmarks in which I can use to evaluate programs,

A sample of two client system in the EEUCC In fact, social work professional is like some other professions that need to build professional relationships in the agency. Social workers may have professional relations with these professionals such as doctors, lawyers, and teachers, as well as with other social workers (Robison, & Reeser, 2000). Therefore, professional relations were established with some of the center's employees according to the nature of the work as a practitioner of social work.

It allows clinicians to effectively advocate for the rights of individuals with mental health issues. These rights include but are not limited to, one’s right to be employed and educated. It allows the clinician to support the client and advocate for these rights in times of discrimination. For example, if something were to happen to Maria in Ashford & LeCroy’s example while in the care of the police department, myself as her social worker can and will advocate for her rights.
