Frоm Grоup 5: Whо discovered the photoelectric effect?
CASE STUDY 8: An аgency thаt serves children аnd yоuth secured funding tо renоvate a building to create a new residence and program. The residence was to be short-term intensive, with the goal of returning young people to their families and communities as quickly as possible. Parents and clients were to feel welcome and comfortable in the residence. The agency wanted to move away from an institutional look and instead create something that was very community friendly and aesthetically pleasing. The upstairs area consists of five bedrooms and the license was for eight beds, two on an emergency basis only and six for short term treatment. There would also need to be a staff room to accommodate the night staff members who were required to check on the kids frequently after lights out. Each room had to meet the local building code and licensing requirements. Space on the main floor was increased to allow for an isolation room and a second living room to be built. It was thought that this would give the residents another place to spend time, complete homework, and meet with parents, workers, and other community partners. The program also requires a classroom, which is located in the basement in an area previously used for office space and storage. Over the next year, it was determined that the kitchen set-up was not practical. More storage space was needed along with better seating arrangements. The supervisor in consultation with many others came up with an island in the middle of the kitchen that would accommodate 20 people instead of 12 with storage underneath. Bar stools replaced chairs, and an additional seating area was created. Through her many discussions with the staff, it was decided that the driveway should be paved in order to create a more appropriate play area for the kids and to keep the inside of the building cleaner. The area behind the school was also paved and was dedicated solely to the residents for sports and other activities. No vehicles were allowed to park in that area. A fence was also erected around the residence in order to enclose the playground equipment and to make the home blend in better with the neighborhood. After administrative discussions, it was decided that a two-story addition should be added to the residence. The upstairs would be used as meeting room for clinical reviews, group therapies, family meetings, and staff training. On the main floor, a game room would be created to motivate the residents in a positive way. It would contain a pool table, air hockey table, craft cupboards and supplies with tables and chairs to accommodate twelve people. Staff decided to convert the former craft room into another office space for computers, medications and a table with chairs to complete paper work. The staff now had two rooms and thus more room to get things done.
CASE STUDY 16: The Centerville Emergency Shelter is situаted in а cоmmerciаl neighbоrhоod near the center of the city, in an area that includes many abandoned storefronts and a few parks. The building includes two dormitories, a common living room, a kitchen/dining room, and two communal bathrooms. The shelter’s part of the building is a relatively small space. There are eight teens living at the shelter. Most of them have been involved, on and off, with child protective services and/or the juvenile court system for years. Six have been living on the streets prior to entering the emergency shelter. All eight of the residents and two CYC practitioners were returning from spending an hour playing basketball at an area park. Two youth, who were friends in their community prior to their residence at the shelter, were playfully "trash talking" with each other on the trip back. Jerome, one of the CYC practitioners, commented that friendly affectionate banter is okay as long as it contains no put-downs or gang slang. Sandra, the other CYC practitioner in the van, remained silent. As the boys exited the van, several of them playfully pushed each other and were loud. Jerome stayed with the van to clean and lock it up. Meanwhile, Sandra unlocked the door of the building and reminded the youth that they needed to calm down and put away their gym clothes. Continuing their horse-play, one youth pushed another youth hard enough for him to fall onto the couch. Bill, another CYC practitioner who had not gone with them on the outing, entered the room as this happened. He immediately called a group session with a loud, commanding voice and presence. The group meeting was focused on ‘personal boundaries.’ Bill and Sandra addressed when to stop playing around, how to stop before getting into someone else’s personal space, and why self-control is important. The discussion centered on "rough housing" and "horseplay," which are not safe or allowed inside the program building. Bill explained to the youth, “The room was not big enough for any kind of rough housing.”
