Student Replies That Need to Be Responded to:

Post 1: Toni:

As this can be a final step before prison, and there is nothing near me, I chose:

Mid-Michigan Recovery Services, Inc., affiliated with the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD), has been serving the Tri-County Lansing, MI area since the late 1950s. Originating in 1967, the Halfway House Council was established to address issues related to chronically addicted and homeless community members. This initiative led to the creation of Holden House for men and Glass House for women, offering residential programs with safe shelter, life skills training, and treatment for substance use disorders. The merger of the Halfway House Council and Tri-County Council on Alcoholism resulted in affiliation with the National Council on Alcoholism in the Lansing Regional Area from 1967 to 2016, when it rebranded as Mid-Michigan Recovery Services, Inc.

While the founder of Mid-Michigan Recovery Services remains undisclosed in the research, information about its affiliate, the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence (NCADD), reveals that it was established in 1944 by Marty Mann. Mann, one of the first women to achieve sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous, founded the National Committee for Education on Alcoholism (NCEA) in 1944, which later evolved into NCADD in 1990 to address concerns with other drugs. Marty Mann’s vision for NCADD and its affiliate, Mid-Michigan Recovery Services, aimed to reach those suffering from alcoholism and drug dependence by providing essential information, support, treatment, and educational services.

Mid-Michigan Recovery Services’ mission is dedicated to inspiring hope by creating a safe environment and teaching healthy lifestyles for all impacted by substance use disorders. Marty Mann, the founder of NCADD, was herself a once-hopeless alcoholic who achieved sobriety in 1939 through Alcoholics Anonymous. A key figure in the modern alcoholism movement, Mann played a significant role in popularizing the disease concept of alcoholism and addiction. Her advocacy led to the passage of the Alcoholic Rehabilitation Act of 1947, marking the first legislation recognizing alcoholics as individuals in need of treatment.

I chose Child Protective Services (CPS) as my human services agency to highlight. This essential department operates to protect children from abuse, neglect, and other hazardous conditions. CPS is a state-level organization under the Alabama Department of Human Resources. The Department of Human Resources traces its history back to the Department of Child Welfare, an agency created by the Legislature in 1919 to serve at-risk children and families. I was unsuccessful in locating who established this agency. CPS has two mission statements “To provide for the protection, well-being, and self-sufficiency of children and adults” and “The Alabama Department of Human Resources will help families receive the least disruptive service they need, when they need them, and for only as long as they need them to maintain children or return them to a safe, stable home”.

On March 22, 2023, a bill was before the Alabama State Legislature to expedite the adoption process. The bill includes separation of the minor adoption from adult adoption, clarifies jurisdictional requirements, and courts can communicate with each other. This bill will also cut time off the adoption process. After abolishing abortion, lawmakers needed to make adoption an easier and quicker option. The bill will be able to put more children in safe homes, all while safeguarding the welfare of the child.

Example of How to Respond to a Student Discussion Post

Hi Nita,

I like how you discuss both the teacher observing the student and the student observing their own art. You bring up excellent points about the teachers observing the children, because it does help the teacher to better communicate with the children and understand them better. As teachers, it is very important to nurture students, particularly if they are very young, I think, because it allows them to better understand the needs of the student, and how to work with them. Paying attention to what the student is drawing, and seeing how the student reacts to their own work can improve the teachers’ understanding.

Expressing feelings in this discussion board reply examples is a major component of growing up. The more a student is able to express those feelings, the more they can understand them. I liked reading about what you said on this topic, and I agree that the art is a very useful tool that students can learn to express their feelings effectively. If they do not express them, they are keeping them inside, and drawing can become a form of counseling for them. In my opinion, I think the drawing can be particularly useful for many students who are quiet. These students do not often express themselves verbally, and drawing can be a way for them to understand their feelings, and to release some pent up sadness of hostile feelings, for example. I think this form of therapy sticks with many people throughout life, and they continue to use drawing as a coping mechanism.

Thanks,

Steven
