  1. Core Competency 10 Eva Lowery

  2. Core Competency Engage, assess, intervene, and evaluate with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities.

  3. Practice Behavior 10.1 • Substantively and affectively prepare for action with individuals, families, groups, and organizations. • At FTDC, I assist the participants with resources such as support groups, treatments, housing, etc. so that the individual can be self-sufficient and be reunited with their families to maintain a successful recovery.

  4. Practice Behavior 10.2 • Use empathy and other interpersonal skills. • During the intake process, the participants have to share personal information regarding their drug history. While obtaining their information, majority of the participants become emotional as they share their story. I must empathize with the participants and assure them that everything will be okay and that they can successfully recover from their situation.

  5. Practice Behavior 10.3 • Develop a mutually agreed-on focus of work and advanced generalist practice behavior. • My supervisor and I discuss and agree on the participants’ case plans daily, in regards to treatment, support, and other services.

  6. Practice Behavior 10.4 • Collect, organize, and interpret client data. • As a part of my intern, I continuously collect information on the clients by doing intake assessments and putting drug screens in the computer using the Management Information System (MIS). I also manage, file, and organize the participants’ case folders regularly.

  7. Practice Behavior 10.5 • Assess client’s strengths and limitations. • After completing an intake assessment on a new participant, I can determine where the participant stands pertaining to their strengths and limitations.

  8. Practice Behavior 10.6 • Develop mutually agreed-on intervention goals and objectives. • Once a participant begins FTDC, we develop goals for them regarding there particular issue and set specific dates for them to be completed by such as attending an inpatient treatment or support group.

  9. Practice Behavior 10.7 • Select appropriate intervention strategies. • At FTDC, participants submit to random drug testing daily, they keep weekly contacts with the coordinator, and we also assist the participant in selecting the best treatment provider. Also, if necessary, we provide other services for our participants such as transitional housing (Grace Court) or inpatient facilities(Walter B. Jones).

  10. Practice Behavior 10.8 • Initiate actions to achieve organizational goals. • FTDC includes several team members who all meet on a regular basis to develop goals and actions through collaboration with organizations such as East Pointe and Healthy Task Force.

  11. Practice Behavior 10.9 • Implement prevention interventions that enhance client capacities. • FTDC assigns goals for the participants and provides them with reliable resources that encourage participants to join the program. FTDC participants also attends “Recovery Day” which is a event that celebrates and acknowledges those who have had a successful recovery from addiction and encourages those who are still in recovery.

  12. Practice Behavior 10.10 • Help clients resolve problems. • At FTDC, many participants have an issue with transportation. When a participant encounters this type of problem, I call DSS transportation services and set up arrangements for that client.

  13. Practice Behavior 10.11 • Negotiate, mediate, and advocate for clients. • Some of FTDC participants see the same medical doctor. Recently there were some issues concerning the treatment that the doctor was providing. To resolve this problem, the doctor attended staffing to negotiate with the team members about new treatment for the client.

  14. Practice Behavior 10.12 • Facilitate transitions and endings. • At FTDC, I facilitate services for the clients until the end. To leave the program, the clients become discharged through non-compliance or graduation.

  15. Practice Behavior 10.13 • Social workers critically analyze, monitor, and evaluate interventions. • From the time new participants are referred in, FTDC maintains contacts with the clients, provides services for them, monitors their case plan, and analyzes their progress.
