Have you ever heard the saying: And ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure? It's true. The best way to avoid a problem or correct it,is to prevent it. If the problem never occurs, then you don't have near as much to do in curing it. Get it?\n\nAdvocacy: For purpose of education. Through education you gain a handle on prevention. After all, if you know the ten foot hole is in front of you, you have a better chance of avoiding it. If you don't fall into the hole, you don't have to be pulled out of it. See? Saves time, money, and labor. Hope this helps.

A psychosocial-psychoeducational group therapeutic intervention for recurrent suicide attempters is being developed which involves a combination of open discussion of the daily lived experience of individuals who have made repeated suicide attempts, and teaching new skills that can be used to "stay safe". The goal outcome of skill use, staying "safe", means avoiding making an attempt or engaging in behaviour that is harmful to the person. Participants in this program are taught skills which they can reasonably apply in their everyday lives, from "basic personal rights" to self-soothing, setting boundaries in interpersonal relationships, distraction tactics, problem solving strategies, and the idea that distress felt in the moment, no matter how unendurable, is not permanent but an experience that will pass. The goal of the program is to provide a supportive environment in which skill use is discussed each week, and successful skill use is consistently met with praise from other participants and the facilitators.

It covers a myraid of different things.  I have several friends who educational backgroud is health education.  They all work at the health dept now.   That degree lends itself to many different career opportunities.  My friends do a bit of PR for things like prostrate health, breast cancer, etc...  They do public speaking in the community about health concerns.\nThey also head clubs at our local high schools to discourage smoking.    Its almost like doing PR for Healthy living.

Those in need of assistance, must have the RESOURCES available to locate the organizations that provide assistance.  \n\nMany shelters are more dangerous than sleeping on the street - rape, murder, theft (of the few belongs they have, are not uncommon in shelters.  Communities, for some reason do not have adequate security on the premises.\n\nMoney for use by the shelters is often stolen by those that run the shelters.  Remember the Red Cross scandal regarding misuse of money?  The shelter system is a "big mess! and no one seems to care!\n\nThe do-good'ers, seem to help during holiday seasons:  Thanksgiving and Christmas and forget about those in need the rest of the year.\n\nI grew up doing volunteer work since the age of 10.  It is very rewarding.  \n\nI hope anyone reading this will call your favorite volunteer organization and donate a few hours of your time.

Theoretically it is to help poor countries develop.  In reality the governments lose their autonomy by having to follow the rules of those who are "helping".  Often at the expense of the citizens and more to the reward of the "helping" country.  The biggest offender being the United States.

Some people actually think that they are helping.  There are the types of people you can tell to stay out of your life, and those that just wont no matter what you say.  Its part of life.  When dealing with others you have to do just that, deal with it.

That's a sophisticated question. Crisis management strategy is used by politians, corporations or companies that got themselves in hot water and want to put a good spin on their politcal image or business. For example, if a fruit juice company announced that certain products contain harmlful machine leakage forcing a recall of certain shipments, they might counter that by planting fruit trees in poor neighborhoods showing they are doing good for the environment and society.

While I'm sure that social workers do have a small part in preventing deviance, my experience has been that they are mostly a reaction to deviance.  They usually end up involved in cases after deviance has occurred to try and work through things and clean up the current mess.  \n\nI'm not sure what success rate statistics are, but they may play a part in helping the children of deviant parents (to take only one example) to not repeat the pattern of violence, drug use, alcohol abuse, abusive parenting, etc. In this case, their main role would be to educate the involved parties, help them find and create support networks, and follow-up actions to gauge the needed amount of involvement.  \n\nSome social workers are assigned to particular cases that the school and/or legal systems believe to be "at risk."  In this case their roles in preventing deviance are probably greater but they still use the same tactics of education, support, and consistent involvement.\n\nHope this helps!\n\nFR
