​Based on the information you have learned, document your client Cornell’s intake assessment by using the Data, Assessment and Plan format Create a Word doc/google doc and attach it to the designated area in Blackboard.
I would prefer students create a doc, copy and paste the content in the designated area on the blackboard. When there’s an attachment, I have to download the attachments, but if the assignment is copied it makes it a lot easier to access.

Essay Assignment 4 – Cause and Effect Paper on technology
Write a five-paragraph essay analyzing the effects of global spread of COVID-19 on technology and the impact technology has had on the way we have dealt with the pandemic. In your essay, refer to the assigned article below and summarize its major points made. State your main point about technology during the pandemic and develop it with three areas of support. Your support should analyze the relationship between technological tools (Internet, apps, social media, virtual communication, i.e., Zoom, etc.) and elements of daily living, such as isolation in the home, remote learning, remote work, healthcare, getting food and other services, and so on.

“Pandemic has resulted in more positive relationship with technology, study shows”Links to an external site.
Business Live, 24 June 2020
A global study has revealed that the Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in people having a more positive relationship with technology. People in emerging markets are leading the way, especially in terms of using technology to upskill and monitor their health during lockdown.
The Digital Society Index (DSI) study, conducted by global marketing agency Dentsu Aegis Network, surveyed 32,000 people across 22 markets between March and April 2020 – the peak of the pandemic around the globe. The study highlighted how, during the pandemic, we entered a new period of “techlove”, interacting with technology in a more positive way than before. One third (29%) of respondents believe technology enabled them to connect with friends, family and the world around them during lockdown, while a similar proportion (29%) of people globally believe tech has enabled them to relax and unwind at a time of stress.
The study revealed that people in emerging markets are learning new skills and improving their knowledge, fueled by the rise in digital solutions and online courses. With more time at home to learn and improve, almost half of people surveyed in SA (46%), Mexico (44%) and Brazil (43%) have been using tech in this way. That compares to one-fifth of people in the UK (18%) and a quarter in the US (24%) who have also been using technology to upskill using educational apps and webinars, for example.
There are still, however, concerns over the longer-term negative impacts of tech: over half (57%) of people worldwide believe the pace of tech change is too fast and that it is encouraging inequalities across the globe.
In terms of gender differences, women (32%) were more likely than men (27%) to say they feel more engaged with friends, family and the world around them due to technology. This is particularly the case in Eastern European/Scandinavian markets.
South Africans appear to be using technology to monitor their physical and mental health more than any other country, with a third (29%) of survey respondents saying they check health apps or use wearable devices.
Reflecting positive engagement with technology during the pandemic, people are increasingly optimistic about the role of tech in society. A growing share of people globally believe in tech’s ability to solve societal challenges, such as health-care issues like Covid-19 – 42% in 2018, 45% in 2019 and 54% in 2020.
New brand expectations
This optimism translates into increased brand expectations. The pandemic has forced businesses to reconsider their interactions with consumers. When it comes to providing new services to help people mentally and physically, a massive 66% of people globally say they would not just “want” but expect organizations to use tech in a way that has a wider positive societal impact in the next five to 10 years. Over half in the US (60%) and UK (59%) feel this way, with people in China (84%) and SA (82%) needing it most.
In the future, every brand is a health brand. Two-thirds of consumers will expect brands to develop products and services that enhance their health and wellbeing. This is particularly the case in emerging markets – for example, eight out of 10 people in China, Brazil and SA have this expectation.
“The pandemic has forced us to become more conscious of the role technology can play in meeting our fundamental human needs,” says Masaya Nakamura, CEO of global solutions at Dentsu Aegis Network. “There has been a period of ‘techlove’ during the Covid-19 crisis, with brands using technology to pivot their relationship with consumers to support and empower their wellbeing. If this is to endure into the recovery, the challenge for brands is to humanise technology and ensure it is being deployed in service of people’s needs. That also means ensuring that increased investment in functional capabilities like e-commerce is matched by equal focus on building a truly empathetic brand.”
Beware the “techlash”
Despite the shorter-term benefits of technology during the pandemic, the survey indicates a longer-term trend of a “techlash” – a negativity towards technology that has been felt across the globe, in some countries more than others.
Across the globe, 57% of people today believe the pace of tech change is too fast (a level that has been consistent since 2018). Nearly half of all respondents believe that digital technologies are increasing the inequality gap between rich and poor, a sentiment seen most in SA (61%), China (61%) and France (57%).
THE BIG TAKE OUT:
Beyond the Covid-19 crisis, most people expect brands to ensure their use of technology benefits society as a whole.
While people in emerging economies have embraced technology the most during lockdown, they are also the ones most likely to have the most negative perceptions of technology. For example, 64% (vs 55% in 2019) of people in China believe technology has had a negative impact on their health and wellbeing, followed by Singapore (47%) and Hong Kong (41%).
And even though social media is helping people stay connected, almost a fifth of people in the UK (17%) and US (14%) have found technology has caused them to feel more mentally stressed and harder to switch off. This is higher than the global average of one in every 10 people (13%).
“As we look to the recovery, brands need to put more focus on creating bespoke solutions that aim to help people lead better lives, rather than pushing a product or service on them,” says Nakamura. “They need to think about the full lifetime value they can provide to consumers, integrating all elements of marketing, sales and service. Providing helpful experiences is at the forefront of every business’s mind during the current pandemic and should be for the next decade and beyond.”

If you work with minors, how do you address the issue of confidentiality with them? With their parents?
In your professional role, do you have privilege? If so, have you ever called on privilege as a basis for not disclosing client information?
This assignment will be graded based on:
Quality of content (25 points) including:
Answers to all of the interview questions
Reflect on the interview participants responses to the interview questions in a summary following the interview questions.
Quality of writing and mechanics such as organization, grammar, and spelling (5 points).
Create a title page, use proper headings, create a reference page, and provide in-text citations (you do need to cite personal interviews). See “Personal Communication” APA citation
Here was my interview: #1 Yes, I am required to discuss confidentiality with new clients when I open their case, and I have to do it annually as well. I give them the DHS form “Notice of Privacy Practices” which explains the limits of confidentiality as well. I really just tell them I keep their information confidential, but there are situations where I cannot, like if they are in an emergency situation or their lives are at risk. I also tell them their information may be viewed by auditors for auditing purposes of my job only, not to use their information. I also work with health plans and explain as their insurance company they have access to my records.
#2. Yes, I have had my records subpoenaed for CHIPS cases as well as a mentally ill and dangerous case that I had. As a county social worker, we go through our county attorney for subpoenas, and we also have a person that redacts information not pertinent to the case.
#3 Absolutely. I worked as a mental health social worker for 10 years and this came up often. My clients were made aware when I worked with them that if they threatened their lives or other’s lives and I had suspicion to believe they would or had the means to carry it out, I would call law enforcement. I did have to call law enforcement several times.
#4 The only time I worked with minors was when I did chemical dependency assessments. Minors in MN are able to consent to CD assessments, services, and treatment without the consent of their parents/guardians, and I would explain that to them. I explained to them that I would only be able to share information with their parents/guardians if they signed a release of information and after giving them and explaining to them their notice of privacy practices/rights.
#5 In my role as a county social worker/health plan care coordinator, I don’t have privilege.

This assignment submission will be a Word document in which you identify and describe the key elements of the three skills you targeted, including the activity you engaged in related to that skill (like the completed graphic organizer for the 4 Rs of paraphrasing or a summary of your participation in a group session related to Outlining). Then, for each of the three skills, provide a 1 to 2-paragraph summary discussing what you learned in that activity related to that skill, if you would complete any part of the assignment you selected differently based on this new information, and how you plan to implement this knowledge into future assignments. So, this document will be organized as follows:
• Key elements of Skill 1, related activity, summary paragraphs
• Key elements of Skill 2, related activity, summary paragraphs
• Key elements of Skill 3, related activity, summary paragraphs
4 pages, not including title and reference page.
Use the 4R’s worksheet to pick any paragraph to “properly” paraphrase following the worksheet and how I intend to use this to strengthen future essays.
For the MEAL worksheet, choose a paragraph and use it to fix the paragraph to make this better and how I intend to use it in the future to make future essays better use this MEAL format.
I have also attached my essay that has been run combed through by Grammarly with their findings with what is wrong. Identifying a commonality there would be the 3rd skill that I intend to change in future papers.

Read the following case scenario and then respond to questions posed under each

Read the following case scenario and then respond to questions posed under each of the stages of ethical decision-making listed below.
Dr. Mattison is a retired clinical social worker who had a large private practice for over 35 years. In retirement, she was hired as an adjunct professor to teach one graduate course a semester and also volunteered as an intake worker at the local community mental health center.
The center operated more like a crisis and referral agency seeing clients for a maximum of three sessions and making referrals when additional sessions were necessary. During the month of August, the agency experienced a high number of staff taking vacations. Dr. Mattison was asked to step in to provide direct service to new clients seeking support during the month.
In the week prior to her stepping back into the clinical chair, she remained on the phone as intake worker. The intakes she was completing were on clients whom she would see in the following week.
One caller, Kathy, was clearly very upset, crying to the point where gathering the basic information was difficult. Dr. Mattison gently calmed the caller and identified that the initial source of crisis was the fact that she had just been terminated at her job and gotten into a major argument with her boyfriend. While the caller felt as if the “world was collapsing,” Dr. Mattison was able to assess her level of crisis and the possibility of her harming herself or another. Both possibilities were felt to be of very low probability, and the caller had numerous supports in her life living at home with her family. After setting up the appointment to meet with Kathy, Dr. Mattison did a final assessment to see how she was feeling and what her plans for the night and the days to follow were. Kathy’s response provided Dr. Mattison with the data she needed to feel that Kathy was okay and was not at risk.
After hanging up and as she was taking the next call, Dr. Mattison realized that in her focusing on the “crisis” she forgot to get Kathy’s last name or address. She felt that she could gather that information at the time of her first session, which was scheduled that coming Monday.
On Monday, as Dr. Mattison enters the office, she becomes aware that the young woman waiting is not only Kathy, her first appointment, but that Kathy is actually a student in her Tuesday night class.
Awareness: Does the case present any possible ethical or legal challenges? If so, what are they?
Grounding: Using your professions (or desired professions) code of ethics, what, if any, principles may be compromised or called into play given this situation?
Implementation: Generate at least three possible paths to follow in response to this situation. Further identify the potential positive and negative impacts of each. Which would you select to implement?
This assignment will be graded based on:
Quality of content including the ability to communicate and analyze awareness, grounding and implementation as it relates to the scenario (25 points).
Include ethical codes and information from the textbook to support your responses.
Provide in-depth analysis, communicating your understanding of the scenario.
