1. Mentorship question: Describe your experience in how you found your mentorship? If you haven't found one yet, describe your experience so fare in the search of a mentor.
After I decided I was interested in studying social work for my senior project. I remembered that I have a distant relative who is a social worker. Conveniently, there was baby shower coming up that I knew she would be attending. I approached her and asked her if she would be able to help me in any way. Since her office is in Los Angeles she told me she would contact some people she knows in the Pomona office so I wouldn't have to drive so far for mentorship. She is going to get back to me once she gets a reply from the Pomona office.
2. Research question: What has been your most important article you have read so far and why?
The most important article I have read so far is chapter 2 "Child Protective Services Theory and Practice" from Child Protective Services: A Guide For Case Workers. One of the main authors is Diane Depanfilis, she is a professor and Associate Dean for research at the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I think the most important because it coordinates the theories with the federal and state laws. During the interview it was suggested that I read the
Adoptions and Safe Families Act and called
The Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act, this article gives really good examples of how those laws come into play.
