The video talks about the Grand challenges that have been around for the past five years. Race plays a lot in all the grand challenges. It was changed and racism was made one of the grand challenges making thirteen grand challenges. According to Uehara et al. (2015), Uehara saw the grand challenges as a strategy focusing attention on society’s most urgent problems, uniting the energies of scientists and practitioners, and overcoming traditional barriers to interdisciplinary scientific collaboration. The University of California brought the grand challenges to life after members voted to bring it forward. Those on the committee chose 12 grand challenges. I know throughout the world racism has been a challenge. Obtaining work and getting high positions in the workforce If you are not a white person within the United States other races face challenges getting a job. There are no race-free zones in the United States.
The place where I completed my intern at has many different cultural backgrounds of people
working there. Culture is important in Mental health Systems. Having different people from different races and walks of life is important. It gives the diverse clients that need help the ability to get help no matter what their walk of life is or has been. Not all supervisors are white. Many different races and cultures are teaching each of us the difference about people. The reason I chose this grand challenge is because the diversity that is within the company is important when it comes to the clients we work with. The other grand challenge that my placement works on is Homelessness. We are the hospital without walls. Supporting the client to obtain housing. Social support and helping to keep the client from ending up hospitalized. Keeping the clients from being on the streets is one main priority. Based on the content, discuss which grand challenge you would like to be the focus of your profession and what intervention tools do you need to address this grand challenge. This is the grand challenge I wish there was more support. Family violence occurs daily. The thing is those that I work with are adults with the inability to be able to stand up for themselves. The interventions that would be provided would be
referrals and information to help the client. Some of our clients feel that they deserve what they get.
