The current social policy regarding migrant farmworkers in the United States has a significant and multifaceted impact on both the workers themselves and the broader agricultural sector, leading to a ripple effect of consequences.
https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/laws-and-regulations/laws/mspa
Firstly, many migrant farmworkers live under challenging conditions. A significant portion of these workers, about 61%, have incomes falling below the poverty level, with a median income of less than $7500 a year. This leads to a situation where many feel trapped in farm work, with few other viable options and the shame of returning to their homelands with less than what they came with. The lack of legal status for a large number of these workers, approximately 44%, exacerbates their vulnerability, leading to increased instances of injustice and abuse. They often cannot protest inadequate conditions or report violations due to fear of displacement and deportation. This situation undermines their ability to have a voice, agency, and advocacy, effectively rendering them invisible within the broader society.
Health-wise, migrant farmworkers face severe risks due to the physically demanding nature of their work and inadequate living conditions. Heat-related illnesses, exposure to pesticides, injuries, infections, and mental health issues like depression are common among these workers. These health challenges are compounded by barriers to accessing healthcare, including prohibitive costs, a lack of culturally appropriate services, fear of reporting to authorities for undocumented workers, and the inability to get sick leave. The agricultural sector itself is impacted by the challenges faced by migrant farmworkers. There is an ageing trend among immigrant workers in agriculture, with fewer young immigrant workers replacing the older ones. This situation, coupled with the reluctance of Americans to take up demanding farm jobs, has led to labour shortages. The H-2A visa, intended to address this issue, is often too expensive and cumbersome for many growers. This shortage of workers has slowed the growth in the volume of crops produced in the U.S. Consequently, there is an increasing reliance on imported foods to meet consumer demand, particularly for fresh fruits and vegetables.
In conclusion, the current social policy towards migrant farmworkers has profound implications, both for the workers themselves and the U.S. agricultural sector. The challenges faced by these workers ripple out to affect the broader economy, food production, and societal health and well-being.
Fyi: The Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA) is a U.S. federal law designed to protect migrant and seasonal agricultural workers. It establishes standards related to wages, housing, transportation, disclosures, and recordkeeping. The Act also mandates the registration of farm labour contractors with the U.S. Department of Labor. Key components include provisions for worker safety, information disclosure to workers about their employment conditions, and specific requirements for recordkeeping by employers.

A letter will be written in the first person to the substance/behavior from which you are abstaining, which will be due before the abstinence period begins.
This one to two-page paper (double spaced) is to be written to the substance or behavior from which you are abstaining. This is to be written in the first person (e.g., “caffeine, you have always been there for me in the morning…”) and should cover the following 5 areas:
How my addictive substance/behavior is loved and is considered a “friend”
How my addictive substance/behavior is sensual (appeals to my senses)
How my addictive substance/behavior provides “healing” or is a “balm” to my emotional wounds
How my addictive substance/behavior controls and promotes my feelings of helplessness and entrapment
How my addictive substance/behavior is hated – what it has “cost” me
Be creative!
Be honest!
Have fun with this paper!
( I am abstaining from Red Meat for a month and possibly longer time. This is what I would like mine to be).

TRAUMA IN ADULTHOOD
While trauma is most commonly associated with posttraumatic stress disorder, it can manifest in adulthood in many different ways. Consider those who have experienced poverty, racism, or grief, for example. These clients may be significantly affected by their trauma but may not necessarily receive a diagnosis of PTSD.
Social workers intervene directly with trauma when working in veteran’s services, domestic violence/sexual assault response programs, and child protective services. Social workers intervene with trauma indirectly when working in mental health, substance abuse clinics, schools, refugee resettlements, and other forms of social service. Whether or not you are directly or indirectly treating it, trauma will be present in the practice space.
In this Discussion, you take on the role of a social worker engaging with an adult who has experienced trauma.
TO PREPARE
Review the Learning Resources on trauma and trauma-informed interventions with adults.
Describe how you would engage with an adult who has experienced trauma. Specifically:
Consider the questions you would ask to elicit information about the client’s trauma experience.
Explain how you would educate the client on the effects of trauma.
Explain what advanced-level clinical modality you would recommend and why.

Here are the specific instructions for this week’s post. Following these instructions I will copy the general instructions. there is one reading, chapter 10, two videos and one television episode number 3 of The Foster’s to watch this week to be able to post this discussion board. I will attach the videos and the chapter reading (as you will see below-five sentences for each and then the questions have to be answered, all in APA format. It’s complicated the first time, but then I would like to use the same person each week for the posts for the rest of the semester. When you message me I can give you my HULU account log in for the television episode.

Assignment/s Due:
FOR EACH RESOURCE: Please discuss at least two interesting concepts or facts that you learned from each resource, as well as the general meaning of that resource. You are also free to reflect on any critical thinking you had about that resource. THE MINIMUM LENGTH NEEDED FOR FULL CREDIT IS AT LEAST 5 SENTENCES PER RESOURCE. Everything should be in your own words, and every resource should be cited in-text as well as a reference list. THEN ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. Post due Sunday by 11:30PM ET.

Discuss the following in your initial post:
Discuss the presenting problems of this family. How might the family define their problems? How is it different than yours?
In her video, Dr. Wolf discussed the case of a client who had gotten a DUI. Discuss the case, and how she handled it. Discuss how you might have handled it similarly or differently with the Foster family.
Discuss Maslow’s Hierarchy in terms of each Foster family member. Where would you put each of them on the hierarchy?
Discuss two qualitative assessment techniques that you could use with the Foster family and how they would be helpful to you and them when working together. Why did you choose those two?
General NSTRUCTIONS
1. Please read/view the assigned readings/videos/podcasts in this syllabus. Then post your discussion. In order to earn full credit: a) Write at least five sentences about each resource assigned. Every reading/video must be discussed and cited in-text in APA format (Author, year), and there should be a reference list in your post as well. b) Then answer the discussion prompts in the discussion board. Responses to classmates are encouraged but not necessary. Due during the Module (The discussion board will always be open for that module from Monday through Sunday (11:30PM EST): 5 pts per Module.

2. NO DIRECT QUOTES; ALL WORDS IN THIS COURSE MUST BE YOUR OWN. However, if the idea comes from the article, you must cite it in correct APA style.

EXAMPLE OF DIRECT QUOTE: Actual words from an article: “Trauma-informed care (TIC) in social service organizations means that the organizations operate with the understanding that everyone involved has possibly experienced trauma in his lifetime” (Wolf et al., 2013, p.1).

EXAMPLE OF IDEA TAKEN FROM SAME ARTICLE USING YOUR OWN WORDS: Wolf et al. (2013) advises that when an agency uses trauma-informed care, it means that they work from the idea that everyone in the agency – from the workers through the clients – has a trauma history.

3. Each student will complete this activity independently and will be graded independently. The discussion board is set up such that students can only see other students’ posts AFTER they have already posted their own discussion. If a student posts a blank post or a nearly blank post in order to gain access to the discussion board, it is considered cheating, and they will receive a zero for that assignment.

4. It is helpful to write these entries in Microsoft Word and then cut and paste into the discussion board. Make sure to use correct APA style. There are two style guides in the course, located in Content, under the tab “APA style”.

DISCUSSION GRADING RUBRIC
1. Were all readings/videos discussed and understood within a social work context (with five sentences devoted to each reading/video? Were all the questions in the discussion board assignment answered? Did the discussion contain all the correct APA style citations (in-text citations as well as reference list), as well as graduate level writing (free from spelling, writing, and grammar errors)? (out of 5 points)

2. Was initial post submitted on time? (If not, 1.5 points (30%) is subtracted from final discussion post grade.)

Using the readings and Internet resources for this week, consider the public man

Using the readings and Internet resources for this week, consider the public management discourse described by Healy and the work of organizations such as SWAN, that oppose “managerialism” and promote collective movements for change. What opportunities and threats might exist in organizations that focus on public management discourse?
Think of the rhetoric regarding the replacement of the Affordable Care Act. How might a collective movement impact the future of the changes being considered?
Support your ideas with properly cited references from scholarly resources, which may include your text.

You are evaluating the mental health services provided to children by your agenc

You are evaluating the mental health services provided to children by your agency. The agency provides trauma-informed counseling services to children and youth, ages 5–18. The agency’s goal is to have a relatively equal distribution of children and youth, in terms of ages, who seek services.
You will complete a frequency distribution of the number and ages of children who accessed services within your community agency over the past month. You will need to provide a histogram and summary of your analysis. Consider the implications of the findings as you plan for next year’s programming.
Consider that the main goal for using frequency distribution is to simplify large datasets. Graphs provide us with a tool to interpret the data. Addressing the prompts below, provide a brief narrative summary that you would provide to the Ray Foundation to describe the age of children and frequency of services used.
Interpret the data displayed in the histogram output graphs you created.
What trends do you see in the usage of mental health services?
How do these trends affect your planning for the program?
What would be your next steps if you wanted to see a representation of all age groups at your agency?
