Tuesday, Sophia and I talked with a few kids in detention. We had a meeting about all the midterm topics that needed discussed. Sophia signed the document, and I left for 46th Street office to do some filing. The next day I tried to get Lela, my task instructor, to sign the midterm documents, but she was gone. Wednesday morning was spent trying to fax documents to Lela at home. She didn't have ink, but I turned in the document with only my Supervisor's signature. Then I left for Canada the next night! (which is what I was really ready for) .
Integration question:
Policy/macro: What are the time frames needed for developing a treatment plan your agency from the time that the client enters your program. A: What time is needed rarely coincides with what time is had. Treatment plans are only put in place when the youth is out of detention and moving on to department of corrections or a treatment facility. Between the time a youth is referred to the social workers here and the youth's next court date, we have to find placement to suggest to probation or the judge that could be an alternative to the previous situation the youth was in. These times vary from a number of days to a number of months. Who dictates that policy? Mostly the judge. The other part comes from the behavior of the client. If a client is well-behaved, the process can be speedier.
