From: L. Martínez, Family/Child Welfare Supervisor To: All Family and Child Social Workers Re: Stress Please know that the supervisors and administrators of our agency are well aware of the high stress level associated with careers in social work. Many social workers experience stress due to heavy caseloads, long and unpredictable hours, insufficient service resources for your clients, low salary, and other factors. High stress levels can cause fatigue, psychological problems, sleep disorders, and cardiovascular problems. For that reason, we are happy to offer a complimentary stress-reduction program. The program is run by specialists at Lytle University but will be held at our agency. This eight-week course begins on April 26 at 7:00 p.m. It assures improvement in the well-being of participants. The program teaches coping skills as well as relaxation techniques. A recent survey conducted by the National Association of Social Workers details several methods of stress reduction. Social ...

 While working for Old Time Sweet Company, 84 percent of employees received some kind of formal training and 96 percent received some kind of informal training. Old Time Sweet Company paid for all training referred to in this survey. During the six-month survey period from May to October, employees received an average of 30.4 hours of training, of which 10.1 hours were spent in formal training and 21.3 hours in informal training. In other words, 70 percent of the training took place through informal instruction. Age: The youngest and oldest workers were less likely to have received formal training during the last 12 months than were workers ages 25 to 54. Workers 24 years of age or younger and workers 55 years of age or older received about half as many hours of total training as workers 25 to 54 years old. Full- or part-time: Full-time workers (35 or more hours per week) were more likely to have received formal training in the last 12 months than were part-time workers (72 percent...

 COMMUNITY INITIATIVES REPORT: Reducing Violent Crimes Among Youths A local urban police force has positively impacted violent crime among youths by implementing a new program. Teams of police officers and probation officers work together to make sure that youth gang members and other offenders follow the terms of their probation. The impact of the program was seen in a single night. Four officers—two police officers and two probation officers—arrived at the crime scene. They found a 15-year-old shooting victim lying on the ground. There was a crowd around him. Some of the people in the crowd had previously been punished for crimes. When the anti-gang police officers from the area got out of the car, the onlookers stayed at the scene. Although the officers were well known and taken seriously, the witnesses stayed, as they felt that there was no harm in watching. When the other two officers stepped out of the car, the crowd began to disperse right away. Many of them recognized the p...

 1 of 16 | Shade Trees for Energy Efficiency Solar heat absorbed through windows and roofs increases cooling costs, and incorporating shade trees helps reduce this heat gain. Shading and transpiration (the process by which a plant actively moves and releases water vapor) from trees can reduce surrounding air temperatures by as much as 6°F. Because cool air settles near the ground, air temperatures directly under trees can be as much as 25°F cooler than those above nearby blacktop surfaces. Designing landscapes for effective use of trees requires knowledge of the size, shape, and location of the moving tree’s shadow. To provide continuous shade or to block heavy winds, use dense evergreen trees or shrubs. To block solar heat in the summer but to let much of it in during the winter, use deciduous trees. Planting deciduous trees with high, spreading crowns (i.e., leaves and branches) to the south side of a home provides maximum summertime roof shading. Trees with crowns lower to the g...
