  • The Cognitive Restructuring Model

    1510 Words  | 4 Pages

    Secondary Control Coping is one of the strategies that support adolescents who live in low income areas and/or experiencing depression. According to research by Wadsworth (2011), “Youths who use high levels of secondary control coping tend to have fewer aggressive behaviors and suffer from less anxiety and depression (p. 23).” By using coping strategies clients will begin to reach the goals set during interventions. Also it is recommended that the social worker provide assistance to individuals who participate in the act of bullying other students, like the ones who bully Tyreke on a daily basis. This is so because according to Mishna et al. (2016), “Children who perpetrate bullying are more likely to display externalizing problem behaviors such as behavioral misconduct, delinquency and alcohol use (p.124).” By the intervening with those who bully other students the social worker is provided the opportunity to assist these students who may have trouble in school due to a mental illness, and/or living in low income communities. Also this allows the social worker to provide preventive care for these students buy helping them before they turn to negative coping strategies, such as substance abuse, in order to cope with their

  • Whose Records Video Summary

    685 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the video, Whose Records, the client demonstrated frustration with her current counselor and made a request for her medical records in order to transfer to another counselor. During the conversation, the counselor remained calm and respectful to the client regardless of the clients’ disrespectful approach. I do not agree with the challenge approach made by the counselor regarding the client seeing a different counselor every three to four weeks. That seemed to increase the level of tension on behalf of the client. I feel a better approach would have been to allow the client to express her concerns regarding her current treatment. After which, the counselor could explain the process of obtaining her medical records along with requesting the client to sign the appropriate release of information to acquire her records.

    One of the main risk factors include gender and emotional coping, which was reported in a study by (Khamis, 2015) that highlights that bullying was more prevalent among boys than girls, and the bully and the victim are reported to be at risk for long-term and short-term emotional disorders and coping such as hyperactivity, emotional symptoms, and peer problems. A correlation between victimization, stress, and coping was identified. Furthermore, the experience as a victim of bullying is linked with increased stress and high use of avoidant coping (Newman et al., 2011).
