Answer 2

It is challenging! A social worker has to play a role of a health educator, every information of health has to be covered this includes hygiene, nutrition, immunization, maternity health, communicable diseases. Community health has to be defined based on the agency she is working. this could include physical health and mental health.
Resource advocasy- Other Agencies that work in the community who can be linked to your own agency so information can be shared. Eg. Tuberculosis Department can be used for having a community based case finding. Mobile units of TB dept. can be used. when they have awarness week the social worker can colaborate with them and have an awareness program.
Social worker should work towards community participation. Locate community leaders to be more active, youth organizations can be involved to take an active part. Identified patients can form a support group. Home that are healthy can be recognised as healthy homes, and they inturn can influence others to reach optimum health. Programms can be held in the community for fund rising. Street fairs can be had, games can be organized, women can cook eatables and sell them. Part of the money can go for fund rising in you agency and the women can get the actuals,.
Working towards poverty eliminatiion is another goal. Because with poverty comes everything.
Fundrising should be an important aspect, this makes the community to participate. Have school children involved.
Involve schools of social work on a regular basis for research purpose in the community, they usually have research work for social work program, they can use your community for identifying health problems.
Ask some corporates to adopt your community. so funds can be easy.

Answer 3

There is an emerging crisis, which is inherent when beaurocratic processes control the physio-psychic needs of the society, that results in a very, very unhealthy trend that is infesting the American society today.
In other words, Child Protection Social Workers, or namely, the beaurocracies that "control" these workers, seek to operate as "for profit businesses". This is the nature of a beaurocracy: To operate as a for-profit business. Which can be all well and good; unless, of course, your mechandise is children and their families.
The Child Protection Services, in order to get their annual funding, must meet certain criteria outlined by specific state and federal grants, in order to operate with a positive capital flow.
Therefore, the CPS beaurcracies must fill the numbers in order to survive - or rather in order to survive lucratively - which is the name of the game.
Now, with regular, let's say, Welfare Social Workers, there is never an undersupply of needy families needing free money.
However, unfortunately for CPS, there is an undersupply of families inflicting horrors on their children. So, the large CPS beaurocracies, thinking that they must keep step with their larger welfare counterparts, come up with outlandish and preposterous interpretations of the law. (The acutual law reads that a child is not supposed to be removed from their parents unless the child(ren) are in "Imminent Physical Danger".) In other words, the laws states that unless children are in obvious danger of being physically hurt in the near future, they are not to be taken from their homes.
Additionally, the beaurocratic processes do not inherently dictate a diligent search for the truth, so oftentimes, as tragedies to children are being overlooked, innocent families are being "convicted" in their place. Why? Because it an easier job for the underqualified CPS worker. In any other aspect of American society only qualified professionals such as doctors, psychiatrists and psychologists can make determining qualifications as to a parent's mental status. CPS workers consistently make these uninformed and underqualified statements, which the courts miraculously accept as fact, more often than not.
The fact remains that all one must do, is make an annonymous call to CPS saying that one's neighbor takes illegal drugs - and your chances of having that persons child taken, are very high.
Of course; as always, justice can be bought at a price. Therefore, good parents, whose only crime is being "poor", lose their children to the system every day.
Researchers, doctors and child develpment professionals are realizing a new "disease" this is creating in about 20 to 25 percent of children that are taken from their parents at a young age. The condition is called "RAD" (Reactive Attachment Disorder). The symptoms of "RAD" often mimic ADD; however, there is no drug that cures or relieves the symptoms of RAD. RAD childrens' brains actually become "hard-wired" to live in a more hostile and dangerous world that it is. They always have relationship problems throughout their lives, and they are much more prone to violent crimes that the average population.

"Families are simply not prepared for the profound anger that lives in the heart and soul of our RAD children. It's heartbreaking, frustrating, mindboggling, and extremely stressful. In essence, we're fighting to teach our children how to love and trust. Intimacy frightens our children; they have lost the ability to love, to trust, and to feel remorse for hurtful actions. They see us as the enemy. Small expectations on our part can set our children off in ways that are not only indescribable, but also often unbelievable." Ref-1 (See Source List below)

In conclusion, if CPS workers don't stop what they are doing, they will regret it later in life when they look back on all of the ruined lives and societal destruction they have created by removing children from their parents unnecessarily.
God placed children with the families that bore them. YES, THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS, BUT NOT NEARLY AS MANY AS CPS STATISTICS WOULD HAVE US THINK.

Hindsight is 20-20 vision. Since the problem encompasses children and families, don't the social workers have an inherent obligation to quell the conditions that they are creating, because they are sworn by occupation to condemn such conditions?
