The Client System: Field Internship The Field Internship is a program within the Lydia T. Wright School of Excellence and is called the School Violence Prevention Program. The program was the inspiration of Lawrence Shulman, former director of the University at Buffalo. The program was created in partnership with Child and Family Services of Erie County (Gustafson & Mason, 2013). This collaboration, however, no longer exists, and the School Violence Prevention Program is now exclusively under the umbrella of the UB School of Social Work. The program attempts to address some of the problems that threaten the safety and security of children, school violence. In particular, the program is focused on preventing the problem of bullying. The program includes several types of interventions, including individual counseling, group counseling, bullying victim mediation, classroom information presentations, and prize incentives for students. Lydia T. Wright School is a public school in Buffalo, New York. It serves a student body of approximately 736 students (NYSED, 2011). It should be noted that, unlike previous years, the NYSED information for Lydia T. Wright does not contain information on the current number of students attending the Pre-K program as in previous years. Located on the East Side of Buffalo, Lydia T. Wright is made up of primarily African American students. Constituting an average of 92% of the school population, African Americans represent the school's majority cultural group. The 3% and 4% are split between white and Hispanic/Latino students, respectively. Of the 736 students enrolled, 83% qualified and received free or reduced lunch (NYSED, 2011). This is due to the low socioeconomic status of the school participants. The f...... middle of the paper ......ce, 16(2), 198-208. doi:10.1111/desc.12016 Kreps, G. L., & Kunimoto, E. N. (1994).
