Respond to the client statements found in Engage. Construct responses to these statements using the paradigm for empathetic responses (pp. 110-111).   book Direct social work practice
Client Statements
● I think I might be depressed. I can’t get out of bed and spend all day crying and I hate my life. My friends told me to go to the doctor, and I did, but he said he thought I wasn’t seriously depressed and I just had to pull myself together. So I guess I’m just being a big baby, but I don’t know what to do anymore and I’m about to lose my job for absenteeism.
● My wife is suing me for full custody of my kids, and I can’t stand the thought of her taking them. I would go crazy without the kids. They are my life. I’m thinking of taking them back to my home country secretly so that she can’t get to them.
●  I’m gay and 15 years old and my parents will totally disown me if they find out. I don’t have any friends, anyone I could live with, and no way to support myself. I’m still in high school. I’m being bullied. My only friend is another gay kid, but he’s out, and my parents have told me I have to stop seeing him.
● I’m broke and have no medical insurance and can’t afford antidepressants or therapy, and if I get treatment it’ll show up on insurance as a preexisting condition!”
● “I just had a baby a few weeks ago. The baby cries and I dread having to change his diaper or feed him. Sometimes I can’t stop crying. My husband just makes it worse. I get so angry at him and say horrible things to him. I look like hell. I’m really ugly and I’m incontinent. My body is wrecked forever. I don’t know what to do…I wish I never had a baby. ”
● I just got to college and I do not know if I can make it. I always get it wrong in social situations and I have no friends that care about me. I think I want to go home.
● I am 38 years old and my careers counseling group graded me as a “B” for job prospects. This has brought up all my old demons, especially suicidal thoughts.
● My kids just left for college and my greatest role as mother has ended, I feel. To make things worse my husband will not talk about how depressed I am or about the kids leaving home.
● I am 38 years old and pregnant for the first time. At this point I did not want to have children but my husband put so much pressure on me. I am sad all the time and have lost interest in my friends and any social activities.
● I cannot believe I threw a drink in my colleagues face at the holiday party at 45 years old. I think I might lose my job and people are starting to say I have a drinking problem.

Key Elements on Grant Writing 
Grants are “institutional gifts that permit recipients to pursue activities of their own design within the purposes set by the funder” (Lauffer, 2011). Grant writing is an in-depth explanation of why the recipient believes the funds should be allotted to the specific organization. Per Candid (n.d.), there are four key elements on typical grant writing: 
An executive summary 
Narrative 
Budget 
Supporting Materials 
The narrative will include; “statement of need, project description, organization information, and conclusion” (Candid, n.d.). When writing the grant proposal, one should think about how to impress the funder by explicitly stating what the need is and how it will be accomplished. 
Description of the Grant Proposal Selected/Improvements Explanations 
Due to the website of sample grants being unavailable, I was unable to view sample grants. Therefore, I am unable to complete this section of the discussion post.

RE: Discussion 1 – Week 9
Grant writing emphasizes the outcome of a program and predicts plans and funds to provide services while advocating towards a need of a particular service. According to Nelson and Ruffalo (2017), there are four key elements to grant writing, “motivations, interests, partnerships, and actions. First, exploring and examine “why” helps pave the way for the grant writing process. Having motivation as an examiner on an issue or area when writing a grant can help impact a community long-term. Knowing what you want to do and why a grant is needed is essential. Secondly, when the grant writer and the associated partners have a settlement and awareness of the topic, the “what” the next step requires a literature search. Asking the question of what is the area of focus help fulfill the desires, the gap towards the interest in gathering information. Identifying the topic on what to write a grant about should start with an idea (p. 240). Thirdly, having supportive, qualified partners is important on the grant writing team who “recognizes a need for an initiative, desire to collaborate with other entities and commits to the project to completion” builds a more noble team to work with an aim towards achievement. Lastly, to move the idea forward, a grant writer distinguishes which category his topic falls in and how the community will benefit from the project and funding.
With Implementing these four steps 1. Why write grants (motivations)? 2. What is the area of focus? (interests) 3. Whom should be on the project? (partnerships)? 4. How to move forward? (actions)? According to Nelson and Ruffalo (2017), these steps can “facilitate potential projects from idea formation to grant writing and grant submission” (p. 238). 
A brief description of the grant proposal and an explanation of how to improve the grant proposals are not available due to the website’s malfunction.

Lee McIntyre claims truth itself is now being challenged “as a mechanism for asserting political dominance” (p. xiv). Reflecting on the past decade (2010-2020), assess McIntyre’s claim. 
You may consider: 
What factors contributed to our post-truth media environment? 
Is there a difference between lying and challenging the very idea of truth? 
Are there circumstances wherein a “truth” may indeed need to be challenged? 
How might we best evaluate fake news to prioritize the greatest threats? 
Who benefits most from fake news? Why?

For this week’s discussion, discuss the efficacy of codes of ethics and note how this information should inform how your agency or discipline (or the agency/discipline you are interested in) handles their code of ethics.  For example, should it:  be changed, be more or less relied on, more heavily taught, more frequently serve as a basis of expectations, etc.

Provide (2) 200 words response for RESPONSES 1 AND 2 below.  Each post must be a different topic. So, you will have your initial post from one topic, your first follow-up post from a different topic, and your second follow-up post from one of the other topics. Response provided should further discuss the subject or provide more insight. To further understand the response, below is the discussion post that’s discusses the responses. 100% original work and not plagiarized. Must meet deadline.
RESPONSE 1:
For the entire class I think that the resources that I liked best were the PDFs included each week that consolidated the information that we had gone over for the week and provided examples and even broke down the process for Excel as well.
Question two is one I always struggle with, seeing the bigger picture. I know that the math classes that are required for my Natural Science degree will become useful in future classes I take, especially those with lab requirements.
For me, the discussion posts were very useful as it allowed me to see how other individuals approached each weeks work and sometimes those posts shed new light on the subject making it easier for me to understand the weeks work.
From here, I am keeping up my trend of taking two classes at a time, this starting semester I will begin Chemisty (with Lab) and Biology (with lab). Both of these classes are 16 weeks long and begin the day after this class and my Physical Geography class close this Sunday. Now with Statistics and Physical Geography completed I am over 50% complete with my degree.
Again, congrats to everyone for making it this far in the class and good luck on your last week’s tests and the final paper. For those of you who have more classes, keep going strong.
Thomas
RESPONSE 2:
Which resources did you like best? Why?
My favorite resources were the ones that were attached to our discussion each week. Those helped me the most when it came to prepping for the homework quizzes and tests.
How will you use the information in the future? This is your opportunity to consider–and then share–how you will employ the knowledge that you have gained during our course.
The information I learned in this class won’t make its way into my everyday life but I can see where I would use this knowledge to make big purchases in my life. I can use statistics when comparing potential vehicles, houses, and even stocks if I were inclined to invest in the stock market.
Were the discussions useful?  Will they be useful for you in real life?  Why or why not?
I found the discussions very helpful in the course because it allowed me to apply the new concepts learned each week. That was helpful when it came to the homework and test each week. I can only speak for myself but those homework quizzes and tests were no joke. I needed all the help I could get.
Where are you going from here? What course(s) do you plan to take next?
This is the first time I’m saying this at the end of a course, but I’m not signed up for any other classes after this one concludes. I am due to have my second baby in roughly 40 days and this mama needs a break. I need to rest and prep for having another baby. I plan to take about 4 months off from school while I acclimate to having a second baby and see how that is going to alter my daily schedule. I plan to start classes back up again in July/August. At that time, I will be taking BUSN312 – Operations Research and BUSN313 – Global and Competitive Strategy. I have eight classes plus my senior seminar left until I finish my degree. I’m sad to be taking a break because I could be done with my degree by the end of this year. I know I’ll need the break though.
Feel free to share something interesting about yourself and/or how it relates to the course. 
I don’t have anything interesting about myself that pertains to statistics.
Something interesting about myself just in general though, is that I can solve a regular Rubix cube in under a minute. I have a Rubix obsession. I have a pyramix (pyramid one), a 5×5 Rubix cube, as well as a 12-Sided Megaminx (it has 12 pentagons). The pyramid one is the easiest one to solve, but the other two take me a while to solve. There are a lot of algorithms to remember with those.
Does anyone else know how to solve the Rubix cube?
It was great conversing with everyone throughout this course and it was great that we could rely on each other to check our math.

The Instructions for your reflection assignments is in your course syllabus. But, I will restate some of that here. Your reflection assignment should be 100-150 words in length and you should do your assignment in a Word document using 12 font and double spaced. No references are necessary in these assignments as they are your own words based on what you have learned in the course. But remember you must use the course material to answer these questions/assignments. That is, they are not meant as an avenue for you to provide your personal opinion on the topic. These assignments are to be done independently (e.g., not to be done with others in your class). See your course syllabus for the due date.
