that I am choosing is a Child Welfare Specialist. The responsibilities of
this profession include facilitating and participating in family team
meetings, conducting home visits, recieves intakes and asesses or
investigates allegations of abuse or neglect. This profession involves
going into the homes of families and meeting with the parents and
children and making sure that abuse or neglect is not occuring and if it
is taking the correct action to get the children out of that home and
somewhere safe. After that working with the family and all other
members of the team to meet the end goal for the family. This role
relates to the steps of the larger helping process by being just the
beginning of the intervention of the problems within the families. This
role goes out and finds the proof and helps to start the process of
