[Social-sciences-list] Social-sciences-list Digest, Vol 17, Issue 7

Thu Apr 24 21:50:34 UTC 2014

Hello:
I have a question. My name is Renee Pavlus. I just sat for a job
interview at Provo Canyon Behavioral Health Hospital located in Orem
Utah; They deal with addiction; this is a in-patient 80 bed facility.
Apparently they are looking for a part time Social Worker. My Masters
is a CmHC not a LCSW. My concern is: After discussing the degree and
all of that stuff they openly noted their concern  , bringing up
possable safety issues, if I worked with substance abusers who may
cause harm or be voletal when working with me. I am totally blind with
no useful vision. Safety issues, specifically having to do with client
or my own protection was repeatedly addressed. At the end the HR
person did admit that perhaps finding creative ways to deal could
happen.  Did they have the write to openly ask, or is this one of
those maybe, perhaps questions asked in a hospital or substance
related program? If so, were they ADA compliant by bringing up this
issue?
I, myself,  didn't bring it up. I am just curious since it seems that
I will have many more interviews ahead. I addressed their concern in a
respectful manner, but, it bugs me on one level that they would ask.
They also spoke about having a set of keys to unlock the varied doors
or locked wards.
Respectfully
Renee
