Safety and Agency Responsibility

When you walk into a human services
organization, do you think about your safety? What about when you
prepare to make a home visit or attend a meeting in the community? As a
social worker, you may find yourself in situations in which your
personal safety is at risk. Although you, as an administrator, cannot
prepare for every situation, you should be proactive and put a plan into
place to address issues related to workplace violence in the event that
it occurs.
For this Assignment, focus on the
Zelnick et al. article on workplace violence and consider what plan you
might want to have in place if you were an administrator having to
address a similar workplace violence situation.
Assignment (2–3 pages in APA format):
Draft
a plan for a human services organization explaining how to address
traumatic emergency situations. Include both how to respond to the
emergency and how to address any long-term effects. Finally, based on
this week�s resources and your personal experiences, explain your
greatest concern about the safety of mental health professionals working
in a human services organization.
