Safety Planning With Intimate Partner Violence Survivors: Towards Survivor-Defined Advocacy

CE Hours: 3
Delivery: Zoom
Registration: 12:30 p.m.
Program: 1-4 p.m.
Course Price: $30 for SLU alumni and practicum instructors pre-registered by October 6. All others, $50 each.

About the Program: Social workers in all practice areas will encounter survivors of intimate partner violence. Safety planning can empower survivors to mitigate the risks posed to their safety by both their abusive partner and the complex life circumstances they face. Ethical practice with persons experiencing intimate partner violence requires adopting a survivor-defined approach, which takes as its starting point the individual survivor's goals, needs and circumstances. Effective safety planning incorporates an understanding of lethality factors that place survivors at increased risk for homicide by abusive partners. In this training, participants will receive an overview of a survivor-defined approach to safety planning, emphasizing the specific skills of risk analysis and lethality assessment.

About the Presenter: Vithya Murugan, Ph.D., is an assistant professor at the School of Social Work at Saint Louis University. She has clinical experience as a counselor to survivors of IPV. Additionally, she has extensive experience in community education and training.

Social Work

Overall employment of social workers is projected to grow 11 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations, with the highest demand in healthcare, mental health and substance abuse areas. Majoring in social work provides students with many opportunities. Social workers provide the bulk of mental health services in the US.

BSW graduates are employed in family service agencies, child welfare organizations, nursing homes, criminal justice agencies, and schools to name just a few. Clients may consist of individuals, families, groups, organizations or communities.

Social Work

Welcome

Welcome to the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) Program at Western Illinois University. The BSW is a specialized undergraduate professional degree that prepares graduates as generalist social workers for professional employment in social service agencies. The program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.

The social work profession is for individuals committed to the enhancement of human well-being and the alleviation of poverty and oppression through empowerment. Social workers seek to "make a difference" by helping individuals, groups, and communities restore and enhance their functioning through the development and implementation of social policies and programs to meet human needs, and through advocacy and social action which promotes social and economic justice. Social workers are concerned regarding any social situation that limits an individual's, group's or community's development, hampers effective functioning, or diminishes dignity and self-respect.

Program Mission

The mission of the social work program is to prepare competent generalist social workers committed to responsible and ethical practice, and dedicated to serving as advocates for a more socially just society.

Program Goals

The acronym CARES was created to describe the characteristics of a social worker that all students should aspire to be: Competent, Advocates, Responsible, Ethical, and Service-Oriented. Students will build on this caring attitude through course work, professional development, personal growth, community service, and the field practicum to become professional social workers.

  1. To educate students who are Competent to practice at the generalist BSW level, through a curriculum built on the nine core competencies.
  2. To instill in students their duty to be Advocates who challenge injustice and actively promote the dignity and worth of all people.
  3. To produce graduates who are Responsible professionals who act with integrity.
  4. To prepare graduates who behave in an Ethical manner, continuously conscious of the implications their actions have for their clients, coworkers, and profession.
  5. To develop Service-oriented citizens engaged in their community who contribute to finding solutions for local, regional, and global issues.

Program Accreditation

The Social Work Program has been continuously accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) since 1996. The program most recently received re-affirmation of accreditation in 2017, and is scheduled to complete the next re-affirmation of accreditation in 2024.

View Student Outcome Assessments.

BSW Handbook

The BSW Handbook contains a broad range of information about the major. Current and prospective students are encouraged to download and become familiar with information in the handbook.

Practicum

Getting a job after college requires experience. All social work students complete a 450-hour (15 week) practicum in a social service agency where they gain the skills to transition from student to social worker.

Admission to the Social Work Major

The Bachelor of Social Work degree is a professional degree designed to prepare graduates to work in direct practice with clients in a wide variety of social service agencies. The Council on Social Work Education, which accredits social work programs, charges each program with the responsibility of “gatekeeping” for the profession. Initially, all students entering the Social Work program are classified as Pre-Social Work majors. Enrollment in the Pre-Social Work Program does not certain acceptance as a candidate for the Bachelor of Social Work degree.

  • For more information about applying to the Social Work Major, see the BSW Student Handbook.
  • Update for 2021-2022 Academic Year: The Social Work Major application process will be completed through a Western Online "class" page. If you are eligible to apply to the major you will see this on your list of Fall 2021 classes in Western Online within the first 4 weeks of the semester.

Four-Year Curriculum

The curriculum for the Bachelor of Social Work degree offers liberal arts, as found in the university general education requirements, and the social work curriculum which includes a semester long practicum. This curriculum complies with the Curriculum Policy Statement of the Council on Social Work Education. Please see the University Catalog or BSW Student Handbook for more detailed information about the curriculum. As required by the Council on Social Work Education's Educational Policies and Accreditation Standards, the BSW Program does not grant course credit for life experience or previous work experience.

Question: 69
The elements or parts of a reported case include, among other things,
______________________________.
A. The caption, the citation, and the opening brief.
B. The discussion, the opinion, and the holding.
C. The holding, the responding brief, and the caption.
D. The caption, the headnotes, and the holding.
Answer: D
The caption, the headnotes, and the holding. The parts of a reported case include
the following: The caption, the date of the decision, parallel citations (if any), the
headnotes, the statement of the facts, the court"s opinion, the holding, the
rationale, dicta, and the disposition of the case. Some opinions also include a
syllabus.
Question: 70
Which of the following possessives is NOT correct?
A. The rule in Shelley"s case.
B. He reviewed the ACP"s resume.
C. He repaired his mother"s-in-law car.
D. None of the above.
Answer: C
He repaired his mother"s-in-law car. Answer C is not correct because mother-in-
law is a singular term and the possessive is formed by adding an apostrophe and
s at the end. Answer A and Answer B are both correct because they are singular
terms and the possessive is correctly formed by adding an apostrophe and an s
at the end. Note that this grammatical rule applies to acronyms.
Question: 71
Which of the following is NOT a factor to be considered in determining whether a
lawyer is competent to handle a particular matter?
A. The length of time the lawyer has been practicing law.
B. The complexity and specialized nature of the matter.
C. The lawyer"s general experience.
D. The lawyer"s training and experience in the underlying subject matter.
Answer: A
The length of time the lawyer has been practicing law. The factors to consider
when determining whether a lawyer is competent to handle a particular matter
include, among other factors: (1) the complexity and specialized nature of the
matter; (2) the lawyer"s general experience; (3) the lawyer"s training and
experience in the underlying subject matter; (4) the preparation and study the
lawyer can devote to the matter; (5) whether it is feasible to associate with another
lawyer who is competent in the area. Model Rule 1.1, comment 1. A lawyer need
not necessarily have special training or prior experience to handle a legal problem
of a type with which the lawyer is unfamiliar. Model Rule 1.1, comment 2.
Answer A is the best choice because length of time as a practicing lawyer is not
considered a factor.
Question: 72
Which of the following sentences does NOT correctly use who or whom?
A. My supervisor knows Gary, with whom he has worked.
B. Samuel is the person to whom you should address your complaint.
C. Both of the above.
D. Neither of the above.
Answer: C
Both of the above. In this question, Answer A is correct because whom is used
in a clause that is subordinate to the main clause (note the comma). By contrast,
Answer B does not use a comma, so the clause is not dependent. If the clause is
restrictive (no comma), the best way to determine if who or whom is correct
is to revise the sentence without who or whom (e.g., You should address
your complaint to Samuel) and then determine if the sentence works with he or
she or works with him or her (e.g., She should address . . .). If he or
she works, then use who; if him or her works, then use whom.
Question: 73
A lawyer represented a client in a case involving a contract dispute. The lawyer
was successful in showing a breach of contract by the defendant and asserted a
claim for attorneys" fees under the contract. The defendant did not dispute that the
plaintiff was entitled to attorneys" fees, but argued that the lawyer overcharged his
client since the work performed was not worth the amount charged. At the hearing
on the motion for attorneys" fees, the defendant"s attorney called the plaintiff"s
lawyer as a witness. Can the lawyer testify in a case in which he is representing a
party?
A. Yes, because the testimony will be limited to the work performed and value of
the work performed.
B. Yes, if the plaintiff waives the conflict of interest.
C. No, because an attorney cannot act as an advocate for a party and a witness in
the same case.
D. No, unless the lawyer withdraws from representing the client.
Answer: A
Yes, because the testimony will be limited to the work performed and value of the
work performed. A lawyer shall not act as an advocate at a trial in which the
lawyer is likely to be a necessary witness unless . . . the testimony relates to the
nature and value of the legal service rendered in the case. Model Rule 3.7.
Answer A is the best choice because it states an exception that allows the attorney
to testify regarding the attorneys" fees. Answer B is not the best choice because an
attorney testifying in the same case in which he or she represents a client is not a
conflict of interest. Answer C is not the best choice because an exception to the
rule covers the situation in this factual scenario. Answer D is not the best choice
because an exception allows the attorney to testify.
Question: 74
Which of the following sentences correctly uses the past tense?
A. The governor will veto the bill.
B. The governor reads all bills passed by the legislature.
C. The state legislature overrode the governor"s veto.
D. The governor had expressed her opposition to the bill and has now vetoed it.
Answer: C
The state legislature overrode the governor"s veto. Verb tense indicates whether
an action or state of being occurred in the past, present, or future. The past tense is
formed by adding d or ed to the end of a verb or by using the past tense form
of an irregular verb. Answer C is the correct choice because overrode is the past
tense form of the irregular verb override. Answer A is not the correct choice
because it is an example of the irregular verb to be in the future tense. Answer
B is not the correct choice because it is an example of the verb to read in the
present tense. Answer D is not the correct choice because it is an example of the
present perfect tense.
Question: 75
Which of the following sentences properly uses a colon?
A. Oliver Wendell Holmes said: The life of the law is not logic; it is experience.
B. Sheldon kept knocking on Penny"s door: Penny, Penny, Penny.
C. George used the buzzer to call Jerry: Jerry let George in the building.
D. None of the above.
Answer: A
Oliver Wendell Holmes said: The life of the law is not logic; it is experience. A
colon is used to introduce a quote, a list, or a rule. Answer A is the correct choice
because it properly uses a colon to introduce a quote. Answer B is not the correct
choice because the language before the colon does not introduce the quotes. To be
proper, it should read: Sheldon kept knocking on Penny"s door and saying:
Penny," Penny," Penny." Answer C is not the correct choice because the colon
should be a semicolon.

Social Work

Welcome

Welcome to the Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) Program at Western Illinois University. The BSW is a specialized undergraduate professional degree that prepares graduates as generalist social workers for professional employment in social service agencies. The program is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education.

The social work profession is for individuals committed to the enhancement of human well-being and the alleviation of poverty and oppression through empowerment. Social workers seek to "make a difference" by helping individuals, groups, and communities restore and enhance their functioning through the development and implementation of social policies and programs to meet human needs, and through advocacy and social action which promotes social and economic justice. Social workers are concerned regarding any social situation that limits an individual's, group's or community's development, hampers effective functioning, or diminishes dignity and self-respect.

Program Mission

The mission of the social work program is to prepare competent generalist social workers committed to responsible and ethical practice, and dedicated to serving as advocates for a more socially just society.

Program Goals

The acronym CARES was created to describe the characteristics of a social worker that all students should aspire to be: Competent, Advocates, Responsible, Ethical, and Service-Oriented. Students will build on this caring attitude through course work, professional development, personal growth, community service, and the field practicum to become professional social workers.

  1. To educate students who are Competent to practice at the generalist BSW level, through a curriculum built on the nine core competencies.
  2. To instill in students their duty to be Advocates who challenge injustice and actively promote the dignity and worth of all people.
  3. To produce graduates who are Responsible professionals who act with integrity.
  4. To prepare graduates who behave in an Ethical manner, continuously conscious of the implications their actions have for their clients, coworkers, and profession.
  5. To develop Service-oriented citizens engaged in their community who contribute to finding solutions for local, regional, and global issues.

Program Accreditation

The Social Work Program has been continuously accredited by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) since 1996. The program most recently received re-affirmation of accreditation in 2017, and is scheduled to complete the next re-affirmation of accreditation in 2024.

BSW Handbook

The BSW Handbook contains a broad range of information about the major. Current and prospective students are encouraged to download and become familiar with information in the handbook.

Practicum

Getting a job after college requires experience. All social work students complete a 450-hour (15 week) practicum in a social service agency where they gain the skills to transition from student to social worker.

Admission to the Social Work Major

The Bachelor of Social Work degree is a professional degree designed to prepare graduates to work in direct practice with clients in a wide variety of social service agencies. The Council on Social Work Education, which accredits social work programs, charges each program with the responsibility of “gatekeeping” for the profession. Initially, all students entering the Social Work program are classified as Pre-Social Work majors. Enrollment in the Pre-Social Work Program does not certain acceptance as a candidate for the Bachelor of Social Work degree.
