Competence 10: Engage, Assess, Intervene, and Evaluate with Individuals, Families, Groups, Organziations, and Communties

I have learned a wide range of skills, values, and knowledge which have prepared me to work with individuals, families, and organizations. In field practice I have used the Generalist Intervention Model (GIM) to engage, assess, plan and implement interventions, and evaluate. I have provide  case management and coordinate services. Throughout  my case work experiences I have empowered individuals, recognized and utilize individual strengths, and use  resiliency as  fuel in the planned change process. I have uniquely implement the GIM model in various settings. I provided case management and education for parenting and pregnant teens. As a  Intern with Birthing Project I facilitated  group sessions with mothers and daughters to improve communication and health relationships. While working with Sister 2 Sister program I provide case management and taught life skills to parenting and pregnant mothers transition out of foster care. While Interning with G-paradigms I have assisted foster care youth  in the planned change process by helping to prioritize  problems, translate problems into needs, establish goals, and specify action steps. I have also worked with MNPS students and families to reduce truancy by conducting home visits, using interviewing skills, and creating attendance plans. I have used my code of ethics to resolve ethical dilemmas, used gender sensitive practice, advocated, and enhance my recording skills. I will provide additional examples that illustrate my work  with individuals, families, and communities.
