[You just met John (16) for the first time. During this meeting, he doesn’t make eye contact with you, is sitting with his arms crossed and does not respond as you extended hand your hand for a handshake as you go to introduce yourself.] If you were to encroach his physical space by leaning closer or touching him in any way, what is the LEAST likely response that he will have?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

Though you may be reaching out with genuine care and concern, he is not likely to see your perspective at this time; rather, he may not feel respected, understood, or safe. Think of your interactions with a young person, their words and their actions as an opportunity to learn more about them. You are just beginning to get an understanding of who they are. We must remember not to take the young person’s actions or reactions personally.

About a month into working with John, you have succeeded in developing trust and rapport. He greets you, is comfortable standing or sitting near you, makes eye contact, generally is ready for scheduled meetings and is engaged in activities. He enjoys two other young people that he is sometimes grouped with. One day, when you’re out with him putting in job applications at the mall, he yells out “F@#% that!” at a table where you’re sitting and having a beverage. One week ago, while playing ball with the other youth, they were all cursing, but you said nothing. In the context of preparing this youth for transition, and building their assets, what is the BEST response:

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

Talk to the young person in private, sharing that there is a difference between cursing in public versus cursing on the basketball court with peers. Mainstream social norms dictate that cursing in public is not generally accepted, whereas within the youth group themselves, they have developed specific norms that allow for cursing. It is important to help your young person understand the difference between these two boundaries and that people and place impact what is appropriate in any given situation.

Young people today have strong connections to technology that often intersect our work. Your young person has a Facebook account and hasn’t made his or her settings private. You frequently check their Facebook page to see what they are doing, with whom and where. Most recently, you noticed that this young person was at a party drinking alcohol. Further, another young person at this party posted a photo holding a gun. In this situation, what is the BEST response?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

Use this as an opportunity to talk about decision making regarding the specific event and people that he was with, but also a good discussion regarding what to post on social media and privacy settings.

While out in the community and participating in activities, you often notice that your young person is frequently texting. Because of this, you find that their attention is not really on your conversation or activity but rather on their phone. What is the BEST response in dealing with this situation?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

Use this as an opportunity to talk with your young person about setting limits and boundaries for phone use while out in the community.

You have a family that has been working through a significant trauma. Over the past few weeks, you have spent many hours with the family in person and over the phone. You find that you are physically and emotionally drained, not wanting to see your young people or even engage with your own family. What is the WORST response to this situation?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

Continuing to work without addressing the problem can lead to burnout and may result in mental, physical and physiological health issues. If this ever comes up, be sure to talk with your supervisor about how you are feeling, engage in some physical activity, do something that you like and schedule some time for yourself.

You are working with a mother on how she supports her children through establishing structure, limits, routines and age appropriate expectations. After one particular meeting, you notice that the mom, who is usually pretty talkative and makes eye contact, has gone quiet and isn’t really looking at you. You begin to think that something is wrong. What is your LEAST effective response ?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

It is important as the worker not to assume that the mother will have the skills or confidence to let you know something is bothering her. You may have done nothing wrong and she may be using this time to process her feelings, but assuming that may lead to a missed opportunity and damage the relationship. More effective responses include inviting dialogue by asking her if everything is OK, reflecting with her what you're observing and apologizing if you upset her.

You are a new staff. You are working with Jane (15), and at your first meeting with her caseworker, you are asked to go to the school to obtain a copy of her attendance report and current grades. What is the MOST appropriate response?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

While we often work closely with probation offices, caseworkers and teachers, we must remember to only take job assignments from our supervisors. If a member of the young person’s team asks you to do something that has not already been discussed as a Family Team, talk with your supervisor first.

In addition to working for YAP, you have a second part time job working at Recreation Center in the afternoon. You have a young person named Jose who is currently not in school that your Director wants you to spend time with during school hours, and you have been encouraged you to reach 90% of your authorized hours. In this situation, your MOST effective response as a worker would be to…

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

It’s ok to have other jobs outside of YAP. Remember to communicate your schedule with the young person and family and find time that works for both of you. However, if you are unable to find times that meet the family's needs and work with your schedule, you need to tell your supervisor: it is our first moral and contractual responsibility to ensure that youth are getting the services they need when they need them.

You have been working with your young person and family for five months now and have worked hard to develop a positive relationship with them. In this process, the family has grown attached to you and has invited you and your family to attend the young person's 8th grade graduation ceremony and party. What is the BEST response in this situation?

Select the correct answer(s).

(0/0)

Explanation

Before responding to the invitation, it is best to have a discussion with your supervisor. This time in supervision can be used to discuss your relationship with the family and address any potential boundary concerns. A potential immediate response to the family would be to thank them so much for inviting you to such an important day in the life of their family and share that you just need to check with your supervisor to make sure that attending would be appropriate.
