    appropriate to context.
    Practicing confidentiality regarding the clients and the privacy of the shelter.
    Respecting the clients right to stay or remove themselves from their
    situations.
    A client came into the shelter after seeking services and then within less than 24
    hours she decided that she found an alternative solution finding help and left the
    shelter. Although the staff was not a 100% comfortable with her choice, at the end
    of the day it is her choice and we are there to empower her not judge her for her
    decisions.
    USE REFLECTION AND SELF-

    maintain professionalism in practice situation.
    Keeping track of daily activities at the agency through daily journals for class
    Constructing written logs of interactions with clients such as intake reports or
    incident reports for issues with clients in the shelter
    There was an issue with a client in the shelter not being able to be reached when
    her child needed to be picked up from school. The end result was that the night
    supervisor had to take her personal vehicle to pick up the child, and once they
    returned the mother was still not at the shelter. This breaks rules that the client
    agreed to in the shelter handbook. Therefore she had to be written up which
    involved paperwork to have written documentation of the incident to ensure that
    it was handled professionally.

    On my first day I was able to sit in on an intake with a client, although I was not
    interviewing the client myself I was still sitting in on the intake and the client was
    speaking to me as well. I had to keep in mind tools that I learned within my
    courses such as my body language when speaking with a client.
    Also have to keep these tools in mind when working with the clients in the shelter
    TECHNOLOGY

    Working with the agencies data base to keep up records
    Interpreting messages through google translate for non-English speaking
    clients
    Monitoring cameras at the shelter to ensure safety of the clients

    the Latina advocate was unavailable, being able to use google translate to
    communicate with the client and meet her needs
    SUPERVISION AND
    CONSULTATION
    Use supervision and consultation to guide professional judgement and
    behavior
    Meeting with my supervisor to go over the handbook and important policies
    and procedures.
    Spending time with different workers in the agency to get an understanding
    of different parts of the agency, such as the court advocate and the Latina
    advocate
    Any question I had there was someone in the office that was willing to
    answer my question and show me what I needed to do next in whatever task
    I was working on
    I also scheduled my weekly meeting with my advisor to meet on Mondays.
