THE COLLABORATIVE PRACTICE OF CLINICIANS ACROSS DISCIPLINES REQUIRES A SHARED LA

The collaborative practice of clinicians across disciplines requires a shared language, appreciation of diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms, and recognition of appropriate roles within the health care team.  This collaborative environment is at the heart of a health care system that utilizes the skills and expertise of all its team members in appropriate and extended roles. This model of care delivery is often called integrated care (IC) or collaborative care (CC). Although this model is endorsed by many professional societies and agencies, the CC/IC care delivery model can fail due to multiple factors.   In your initial post, consider the clinical partnerships that result within the CC/IC delivery model. Integrating concepts developed from different content domains in psychology, address the following questions. •How might health care teams achieve therapeutic goals for individual clients? •How does this support health literacy? •What factors might lead to the failure of the CC/IC delivery model? •How might lack of acceptance of the value or viability of the CC/IC model by stakeholders, lack of awareness of the clinical competencies of various members of the team, barriers to financial reimbursement for services, and lack of integration of support services within the practice cause a breakdown in efficacy? •What supportive interventions within the CC/IC model address such issues?   In addition, consider how successful health care models assume an understanding of each profession’s competencies and responsibilities. For example, primary care providers (PCPs) are sometimes unaware of the abilities and practice scope of psychology professionals. •Identify methods of targeted intervention and education for PCPs that might alleviate potential issues for the CC/IC model. •Explain how the APA Ethical Code of Conduct can be used to guide decisions in these complex situations. •Evaluate and comment on the potential work settings where you might find the CC/IC model. In what ways might this model provide more job satisfaction?

1. (B. Smi)
Social Media use has increased tremendously over the years and its influence has sky rocketed along with it. Social Media is not only limited to the internet but includes music, television, and video games. The impact of social media on the development and decision-making of adolescents is so important as social media often shapes attitudes and beliefs.
Potential Impacts of Social Media and Technology
Research has linked playing violent video games to increased aggressive behavior in adolescents and teens. Broderick & Blewit (2015) indicated that the more children within the U.S. and Japan played these games, the more aggressive behavior they displayed. There was also a reported decrease in prosocial behavior and empathy.
Broderick & Blewitt report continuous engrossment of violent video games could also result in an adolescent becoming antisocial. Research highlights that youth are not simply playing these games but they are interacting emotionally and psychologically (Broderick & Blewiit, 2015).  Essentially, processing and practicing the violent behaviors they are subjected to within the games.
How Influences Impact Decision-Making in Adolescents
Impacts of social media extend far beyond violence to include sexual and materialistic agendas. A great example of this could be music videos. Often times, rappers or singers are discussing drugs, fast money, and unlimited and likely unprotected sex with women. These same views can be obtained by any of the many television shows on air at this current moment or in the past few years.
Research has indicated that social media and television shows that display sexuality more liberally have been linked to an increase in sexual behavior of adolescents (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). Study results reveal that individuals who were exposed to such materials began participating in sexual activities earlier and had more sexual partners than those who were not exposed to these particular television programs.
Similar to that of sexuality and sexual behaviors, social media can influence a child in the arena of substance abuse.  Strassburger (2010) insists that the easiest way for a child to do something is to have them believe that everyone else  is also participating in that behavior. An example of this is discussed within the article in regards to adolescent and teen drinking and smoking. Strassburger (2010) reports that children were most likely to drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes after viewing similar scenes in a movie.
Summary
The impact of social media is so strong and lasting as it is literally everywhere we turn. Adolescents have access to smart phones, computers, laptops, radios, televisions, and video games. Each of the aforementioned items run some sort of advertisement to push an agenda that ultimately shapes that child’s attitudes and beliefs. Commercials, ads, and games are typically discussing sex, body image, drug abuse, contraception, and many other subjects that parents should get in front of. Strassburger (2010) stressed the importance of parents not allowing their adolescents to see movies they are not rated R or PG-13 in order to help control the information they receive about these topics.

The impact of social media on adolescent development is nothing new as we know it to be in society, but the mode or means in which social media is delivered evolves continuously throughout history. In the past social media would be depicted in novels or comic books exposing sexual, political, racial, or religious content that would incite adolescents to into risky behavior. Social media and technology contribute to adolescents in many ways some are positive while others are negative. In the medical field doctors are able to stay in touch with their adolescent patients by texting them reminders of appointments (Strasburger, 2010). The U.S. Senate discovered that the violence portrayed in the media actually adds to aggression seen in adolescents, discovered in 1952 (Strasburger, 2010). Social media has impacted the developmental and environmental influences, and this is also shown through the use of the ever changing technology that we gravitate too. Adults are also impacted with the use of Social media and there is a strong sense of staying connected with your children currently that drives us into wanting the best technology for them.

  DISCUSSION 1 SUPPOSE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ASKED BY AN EXPECTANT MOTHER TO EXPLA

Suppose that you have been asked by an expectant mother to explain what teratogens are and how they may affect prenatal and infant development. Select at least one teratogen and its possible effects to focus on. Offer the expectant mother information to learn more about avoiding teratogens and their effects. Provide resources you could share with her to illustrate your response.
Discussion 2
In this course, you will be identifying research articles and analyzing the research, so it is important that you understand the methods by which research is conducted. This discussion will draw from the other two media presentations (“Strengths and Limitations of Common Information-Gathering Methods” and “Strengths and Limitations of Research Designs”) from the Child Psychology Resources in this unit’s studies. Critique two research methods, focusing on the practical and ethical importance of these methods in child development. Then choose the one method you think is more practical and ethical and defend your position with research or your professional experience.

  BEARING WITNESS TO TRAUMA HAS ITS OWN SET OF CONSEQUENCES. WATCHING REPEATED

Bearing witness to trauma has its own set of consequences. Watching repeated episodes of bullying can evoke strong emotional and behavioral responses from an adolescent. During the impressionable stage of social development in adolescents, these experiences can contribute to a change in perception about the ways people should and do treat each other. Furthermore, ongoing exposure to this behavior can jeopardize an adolescent’s healthy social development. For this Discussion, consider how the act of bullying experienced by one adolescent may change the experience of another who witnesses it.
Post a scenario that illustrates how bullying experienced by one adolescent may change the experience of another who witnesses it. Then address the availability of any social work intervention, skill, or practice that might change this cycle of events. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.
