This exploratory study helps highlight the trend of violence directed towards Children''s Social Workers (CSW). This research also aims to tie previous research conducted about the safety concerns of social workers in various fields; such as mental health, to the perceptions of CSWs. Harris and Reynolds (2003), note that the aggressive behaviors clients have constitute an additional source of stress for the workers and negatively influences them on different levels, ranging from burnout and stress disorders to personal and property damage. When looking at the types of dangers present in the social work field, it becomes imperative to give social workers an active role in determining security procedures that will help them with safety concerns at their given agencies. This research focuses on CSWs perceptions about safety at Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), located in the Lancaster office. CSWs at DCFS, located in the Lancaster office, are questioned about their feelings and perceptions regarding safety and security during field visits and within their given agency via a voluntary, anonymous twenty-two Likert Scale questionnaire.

The purpose of this study was to examine the lived experiences of doctoral Counseling Education and Supervision (CES) students who had traveled abroad as a form of cultural exposure. The framework was a qualitative design using a Transcendal Phenomenological approach in order to describe the meaning and experiences of CES students while abroad. The focus of this research was not only to explore participants'' lived experiences but also to understand motivations of travel and how participants integrated their experience into the CES program. The researcher used several methods of sampling including purposive, criterion, and snowball sampling as the primary methods of recruitment and used unstructured interviews for data collection. Eleven female CES studends between the ages of 27 and 43 were recruited to participate in the study. Findings demonstrated that the lived experience came in the form of personal transformation. How participants experience this transformation was in a personal, an increase of cultural awareness, understanding privilege, and professional way. The researcher reported that participant''s motivation and integration for traveling was for the purpose of educational development, professional development, experiential learning, increased cultural awareness, and personal transformation. Preliminary findings of this study support traveling abroad as a possible option for doctoral students seeking to increase cultural awareness, deepen their education, enhance their profesisonal development, and expand their worldview.
