PEERS 1 (AStrid Rangel)
Throughout the years there has been a tremendous improvement in treatment of persons with mental illness in the United States. Although nowadays people with a mental illness can receive treatment at mental health centers, clinics, or other institutions, in the past it was not always possible. In the colonial times, those with a mental illness were maintained at home, almshouses or at private institutions runed by physicians (Sands & Gellis, 2012, p. 26), they could not seek help at mental health centers because those didn’t exist. In addition, Sands and Gillis (2012) mention in the Clinical social work practice in behavioral mental health: Toward evidence-based practice book, that public policies addressing the needs of persons with mental illness did not exit in those days. However, from 1950 through 1980 mental health treatment approaches changed and improved in the United States. In 1963, President Jhon F. Kennedy recognized that issues regarding mental illness and mental retardation needed a new approach (Sands & Gellis, 2012, p. 37). Therefore, later that year, he signed the Mental Retardation Facilities and Community Mental Health Center Construction Act (Sands & Gellis, 2012, p. 37). The creation of the CMHA Act, facilitated the construction of community health centers that would focus on outpatient care for individuals with serious mental illness (Erickson, 2021). Two years later, in 1965 Congress passed legislation to establish the Medicaid and Medicare Act in Title XIX of the Social Security Act (Klees et al., 2009, p. 3). In 1972 the Supplemental Security Income program got established; recipients of this program included disabled individuals, such as people with a mental health illness (Klees et al., 2009, p. 19). Social workers are no longer seen as helpmates because the creation of new mental health centers and mental health legislations, allowed social workers to expand their knowledge in mental illness treatment and approaches (Sands & Gellis, 2012, p. 41).
PEERS 2 (Angelica Carollo)
Throughout history, there have been increasing developments in mental health as more discoveries of need have been brought to light. Through the gain of knowledge about the human body, how the environment plays a factor in mental health, and how services such as community resources are in need, mental health has incorporated improvements. For instance, between 1965 and 1980 federal mental health bills were passed that allocated funds to the construction of community mental health centers, staffing, and resources (Sands & Gellis, 2012, p. 37). These centers created a safe space for individuals with mental health conditions to receive treatment in proactive environments that they had never experienced before. Patients with mental health conditions in previous years were seen as “lunatics,” unsafe for community environments, a threat to society, and harbored in inhumane prisons with individuals that committed crimes (Sands & Gellis, 2012, p.27). These community centers included a mental health system, inpatient treatment, outpatient care, community education, partial hospitalization areas, and emergency services with mental health professionals. These mental health changes laid the foundation for further advancements such as those seen in the twentieth century. For example, the 1987 Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act was passed and it provided funds for special services to the homeless with mental illnesses and the 1990 National Affordable Housing Act authorized funds for housing and services for the homeless with mental health and substance abuse problems (Sands & Gellis, 2012, p. 39). Other improvements include the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act that prohibited discrimination in employment, education, and any public entity against persons with mental as well as physical disabilities (Sands & Gellis, 2012, p.39). This exact act allows me to receive accommodations at UTRGV and the school I am employed for my SEL Lupus and depression/anxiety diagnosis.

Two examples are provided, PLEASE DO NOT COPY THE EXAMPLES.

Overview
Loden’s Wheel is considered an important tool in considering factors of diversity. Used in diversity trainings across the nation, the wheel provides a foundation for thinking about potential conflicts we may be blind to. There are numerous versions and adaptations of Loden’s Wheel; the one used in this assignment is the most extensive one for analyzing the complexity of the topic. You will be using Loden’s Wheel to identify factors in yourself from the various levels of the wheel.
Prompt
Prompt
Using the provided Module Two Practice Activity Template Word Document, you will use the factors on Loden’s Wheel to help define aspects of yourself. You will first identify factors from the different sections of Loden’s Wheel(https://community.astc.org/ccli/resources-for-action/group-activities/diversity-wheel): internal factors, external factors, organizational factors, and era factors. You will then select the most influential factors from each section of the wheel (a minimum of three from each section) and provide an explanation as to why you chose those factors. How do those factors impact who you are? How do they directly or indirectly shape your personality?
Keep the following in mind as you are identifying factors and providing rationale:
Be sure to discern between often-confused factors, such as race and ethnicity.
The factors may vary in level of depth and broadness. For example, experiences may be broad, whereas age is specific.
In the outermost circle, era is used to provide a broader view of how things shape individuals. For instance, 9/11 or the O. J. Simpson trial may impact your locale or a group you identify with, or they may shape your parents or community at large. Consider war and conflict, politics, social movements, movies and albums released, and so on.
You do not need to describe all factors. Only include what you are comfortable sharing.
Specifically, the following rubric criteria must be addressed:
Identify internal factors of self (a minimum of three).
Provide rationale as to why selected internal factors are most influential on your personality.
Identify external factors of self (a minimum of three).
Provide rationale as to why selected external factors are most influential on your personality.
Identify organizational factors of self (a minimum of three).
Provide rationale as to why selected organizational factors are most influential on your personality.
Identify era factors of self (a minimum of three).
Provide rationale as to why selected era factors are most influential on your personality.

PEERS 1 (Jocelyn Bravo) (175 words)
Several of the significant factors that could be affecting Holly and that prompted her to seek family therapy is depression as it was affecting her performance in school and her well-being. She was presenting symptoms of depression when she started sleeping late, missing classes, and crying (Nichols, 2014, p. 3). Something that also affected her was the torn relationship she had with her mother due to the way her stepfather treated both and how her mother was still accepting him. Since she was uncertain about what to do in the future after school Holly felt that she couldn’t return home and that triggered her to feel hopeless and sad, including the relationship with her mother. As a social worker I would help Holly by focusing on her feelings that are causing her to be resentful and accept them, including the uncertainty that she currently feels for not knowing what to do in the future so that she can cope better with it. Recommending her to a psychiatrist would also be helpful so that they can evaluate her and prescribe antidepressants if needed for her depression. Psychodynamic therapy would also allow Holy to understand her emotions, for instance, “therapists help people gain insight into their lives and present-day problems; they also evaluate patterns people develop over time” (Good Therapy, 2018). This will help Holly learn new ways that can improve the way she feels with her family, to be aware of her emotions and her uncertainty about the future. Talking with Mrs. Roberts can be helpful to know more about her relationship with her daughter, but it can help her learn how to gain her daughter’s trust again and communicate with her. However, I would still consider family therapy for Holly and her family so that she can reconnect with her mother and find a positive way to talk with his stepfather. I would also help Holly find a peer support group in order to share experiences or learn from others that are going through the same thing she is experiencing.
PEERS 2 (Talia Becerra) (175 words)
There are significant factors affecting Holly prompting her to seek family therapy. It appears as Holly is presenting a depressive mood. Holly was having trouble deciding what to do after graduation. The more she tried to figure it out, the less able she was to concentrate. She started sleeping late and missing classes. Her friend encouraged her to seek counseling at her university because she noticed an unhealthy pattern in Holly. As Holly begins to speak to the counselor, he begins to sense a deeper meaning of her sadness. Holly states that losing her friend Alex has deeply affected her. She feels alone and lost. The counselor does not feel he can help her as much as he needs, so he felt the need to reach out to her family. As the counselor took a dive into her family dynamic, he learned that Holly was unhappy with her life at home. Holly holds a resentment towards her stepfather and the ways he treats her mother (Nicholas, 2014, p.3). Holly dreads going back home because it didn’t feel quite like home anymore. As a Social Worker I would help Holly understand and validate her emotions of her friend Alex passing and her feelings towards her mother’s marriage with her step father. Holly could benefit from “Counseling or psychotherapy as it helps address problems and develop coping skills” Cleveland Clinic. (n.d.). I would advise her to continue therapy with a continuation of family therapy, and talk about possible medications for her symptoms of depression.
