When the arrest process takes place, eviction notices needs to go out to those with criminal records at the same time in coordination with the arrests.

Throughout the course we learned about different fields of social work, the complications that come with the job, and the different people you will encounter. Thus, changing our thoughts and feelings towards social work. Before taking the class our thoughts about social workers were more or less simple minded.

We also learned how social workers work with these different populations (Morales, Sheafor, & Scott, 2010). During class we discussed a…

It is so important that Social Workers know as much as they can about their clients and their beliefs. Social Workers need to be sensitive to cultures. As a Social Worker one day I need to be aware of how powerful and important culture is to the Native Americans (and other cultures too).…
Groups may be defined in many ways, indeed providing an absolute definition of a group, as with much of the theory around group work, is highly problematic and contestable. However for the purposes of discussing groupwork within a context of working with young people we may define a group as a small gathering of young people. Group work may simplistically be described as the study and application of the processes and outcomes experienced when a small group comes together.…

When effective group management and high organisation skills are applied, group work can bring students a wide range of skills and abilities related to people and problem solving. Group work demonstrates student’s capacity to communicate effectively, share and consider opinions, establish trust, analyse the group process, resolve conflicts and also develop their creativity. However, the constructive learning and beneficial results does not always come as a result of group work. For instance, if the students can not perceive the objective of the group work in order to achieve a common goal, or to lay back or believe that the work load can be relied on other members of…
