You've Been Served: How to Handle the Stress of Subpoenas
By Brenda Gray, Esq.
The innocent-looking envelope you've received contains a letter that ominously commands you to "APPEAR UNDER PENALTY OF LAW." Congratulations. Like thousands of social workers and case manager/therapists, you've joined the ranks of the subpoenaed. So, best practice dictates that you file the paper away, wait for the court date, and dutifully take your case file to the courthouse prepared to walk into the courtroom to divulge numerous details about your client, right?
Wrong. By doing do, you may have just violated your client's state- and federally-mandated privacy rights, wasted hours of precious productivity time sitting in a courthouse hallway, and blemished your professional reputation. However, by arming yourself with knowledge of this process and what you can do to prepare for it, you can minimize these potential outcomes.
What is a subpoena?
Contrary to popular belief, an ordinary subpoena is not a court order from a judge. At the most, it is a document filed by an attorney that compels you to come to the courthouse at a particular time. The important thing to remember is that the subpoena does not give you permission to divulge any information about your client to the attorney or to the court. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and most states require that you obtain permission of the client before disclosing anything under these circumstances absent a court order signed by a judge. According to Sherri Morgan, Associate Counsel for the National Association of Social Workers, ignoring this fact is one of the biggest mistakes a social worker can make-a mistake that may result in substantial consequences. "Disclosing information based on a subpoena without client permission or a court order may be a basis for a licensing board complaint or an ethics complaint," she says.
Another mistake Morgan cautions workers against: ignoring the subpoena altogether. By doing so, you may be exposing yourself to contempt of court charges.
What should I do? Do I really have to go?
Let your client know that you've received a subpoena. Your client may be eager for you to testify, or may have been referred to you for treatment through a court-ordered case plan. If so, ask your client to sign a release for you to discuss the case with the attorney and the court. If he or she does not want you to disclose any information, contact your agency's in-house attorney or privacy officer. The attorney can file a motion with the court to get you out of the subpoena, called a "motion to quash." If you do not have someone at your agency who serves in this capacity, you can call the subpoenaing attorney to let them know that you don't have permission to talk about the case. Then, the burden is on that attorney to get permission from your client or a court order signed by a judge.

American Humane Association Offers Practical Information to End Child Abuse
April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
Throughout National Child Abuse Prevention Month this April, the American Humane Association joins with thousands of other child welfare advocates to raise awareness about child abuse and neglect. American Humane believes in the strength of a community to help raise a child and offers these tips and guidelines for those who want to do their part to help make a positive impact on the life of a child:
Be objective and supportive. Remember that most parents want to be good parents but may need additional help, encouragement, and guidance.
Be an active listener. Do not blame, accuse, or make judgments about family members or their situations.
Offer your support in any way in which you feel comfortable. Families in challenging situations can greatly benefit from social support, which could include anything from babysitting to carpooling to just offering to listen.
Depending on the nature of your relationship with the child or family, your caring actions are just as important to strengthening families as they are to supporting child safety.
Become an involved member of your community and inform yourself about the reporting laws in your state.
If you are really worried, contact your local Department of Human Services or law enforcement and let them know your concerns. Sometimes, that is all it takes to help a family get the support or services they need.
Don't let uneasiness about reporting suspected abuse or neglect interfere with your taking the proper steps for the well-being of a child. To overcome any reservations about becoming involved, consider that the consequences of not reporting your concerns to child welfare professionals could be seriously detrimental to a child's safety.
All states have laws that protect reporters of child abuse and neglect from legal liability as long as the reports are made in good faith.
Remember, kids are counting on us to do our part.

Social Workers Can Assist With Preserving History
By Killeen M. Decker, SSD/DMA
Story telling is an ancient art that is crucial to carrying on the morals and values of any given culture. It is a tradition that has existed from the moment humanity began on this earth. From cavemen around camp fires to those out in the blog-a-sphere, information continues to be passed on from generation to generation. You don't have to be a famous person to have a story worth telling, for everyone's life story is valuable and extraordinary in its own way. Two unique ways that social workers can assist with the preserving of their clients' history are Story Corps Memory Initiative and Veteran's History Project.
Story Corps is a not-for-profit oral history project whose mission is to honor and celebrate one another's lives through listening. It has several worthwhile programs, including the Memory Loss Initiative. The Memory Loss Initiative is a grant-funded project that records the memories of individuals with cognitive loss. The Memory Loss folks travel across country to serve people in long-term care by recording their life stories. Copies of the person's history are given to the person's family, added to the Library of Congress, and given to National Public Radio for broadcasting.
The Veterans History Project was created by the United States Congress in 2000. It is through this project those who served in the military from 1914 to the present have a unique opportunity to record their life history and have it preserved in the archives of the Library of Congress, as well as have a special Web site about them and their service.
Both the Story Corps Initiative and the Veterans History Project have additional programs that are open to the community at large. To check out Story Corps for yourself, you can log onto http://www.storycorps.net. To check out the Veterans History Project, you can log onto http://www.loc.gov.

World Social Work Day-April 15, 2008
Social workers around the world will join together to celebrate the second World Social Work Day on April 15, 2008. This annual event is held to focus on social work's contributions to society and be part of an ongoing dialogue with all partners on how challenges linked to social conditions can be met by communities.
The general theme for World Social Work Day is "Social Work -- Making a World of Difference," and is initiated by the International Federation of Social Workers, a global body for social workers in 84 countries around the globe.
The International Federation of Social Workers (IFSW) has since its original establishment in 1928 been the representative body of professional social workers globally. Today, IFSW represents social work associations in 84 countries with a total membership of more than 500 000 social workers. Special consultative status has been granted by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF). In addition, IFSW is working with the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the World Health Organization (WHO), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and others.

500 Barnes & Noble Stores Nationwide and Autism Speaks to Host Storytime Events Celebrating Autism Awareness Month
Five hundred Barnes & Noble stores across the country have partnered with Autism Speaks to host special story times in April as part of Autism Awareness Month. The Storytime events kicked off on Wednesday, April 2, with a special "Let's Be Friends: An Autism Awareness Storytime Event" at the Lincoln Triangle Barnes & Noble store in New York City.
On April 2, Barnes & Noble stores across the country hosted celebrity Storytimes in cities including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dallas. Celebrities read books that encourage compassion and respect for individuals with autism and other disabilities. Some 500 Barnes & Noble stores will continue the reading program during Autism Awareness Month.
"Autism affects one in 150 children in this country and yet remains a mystery for far too many people," said Steve Riggio, chief executive officer of Barnes & Noble, Inc. "Our special Storytime events, in partnership with Autism Speaks, are a unique way in which we can help spread knowledge and promote understanding of this disorder, which affects so many children each year."
"We are extremely grateful for Barnes & Noble's participation in our effort to increase awareness about autism throughout the month of April," said Suzanne Wright, co-founder of Autism Speaks. "These in-store events will do a great deal to foster a sense of tolerance and understanding, something families affected by autism desperately need as they face the many day-to-day challenges posed by this disorder."
Barnes & Noble's national program, in partnership with Autism Speaks, is designed to raise awareness about autism and foster understanding of the disorder through in-store readings, activities, and discussions. Autism is a complex brain disorder that inhibits a person's ability to communicate and develop social relationships, and is often accompanied by extreme behavioral challenges. Autism Speaks is dedicated to increasing awareness of autism spectrum disorders, and to funding research into the causes, prevention, and treatments for autism. All stores will feature books and information about autism.
