partner. It can be experienced through physical violence, sexual violence,
and stalking. Resulting in impacts such as injury, fearfulness,PTSD, use of

5. Cultural and Diversity
The program will be culturally inclusive by assessing the needs of the community
by researching the demographics of my local community.
I would research such as the population, areas of poverty and
who is most affected, and areas known for crime involving
children. I believe doing detailed research and collected
data would help assess what to do and where it is
needed the most.

6. The Organizational Theory and Design
Organizational theory that would be put into place is the “open systems theory”. It
demonstrates that all organizations are unique because of targeted environment they
operate in. They are structured to accommodate the unique issues and opportunities
for targeted audience or environment. This open system theory operates off of four
major influences, cultural values, economic conditions, legal and political environment,
and quality of education. These are all the elements that are valued within Survivors Liv.

7. Program services and structure
This organization would withhold the following services:
❖ Domestic violence survivors group meetings
❖ Trauma counseling for mothers and children
❖ Defense workshops for victims of DV
❖ DV prevention program- able to travel to colleges are high schools to educate about domestic violence
and share testimonies
❖ Medical clinic for victims and children
❖ A hotline for an emergency domestic violence disputes Dash including a text future for instances of the
victim needing to quickly or discreetly escape the situation along with the tax sending a police escorts

8. ❖ I would also provide daycare and education services for the children along with a child development program.
❖ Survivor Liv thrift store to give and receive donations. The proceeds that are gained from selling the items go
straight to the organization and program members.
❖ To provide a legal team for victims to have support and fight in dv cases and other legal issues.
❖ I would also like to develop an app for people to use worldwide to get references and resources. There would
also be a journal future on there to document any attacks or concerns in your journals and your entries in the
app automatically get sent directly to the organization. Other features on there would include your name
youTor address and different phone numbers in case of instances of an emergency happening that we have
documentation of you reaching out for help

Information System

13. Program Evaluation
❖ The way I would measure the accomplishments of objectives is by posting a bulletin board that
displays the objectives of the organization success. I would organize the board by listing long term
objectives, such as yearly objectives, and then I would display the monthly goals and numbers. I
think it would also be great to have morning and evening group meetings to go over the objectives
listed and go over whether they were accomplished or not. I would also conduct frequent meetings
to go over documentations and prepare for upcoming evaluations
❖ will evaluate the success of the program by conducting client evaluations at the beginning of them
receiving help from the organization. I would want to go over the particular issue as to why they are
receiving help, go over mental health and medical history, potential insecurities, their plan for the
future. I would want the meetings to be conducted weekly in the start of their service by a selected
therapist. After each time a client has made significant progress, the meetings would be down to
two weeks, then monthly. During all of these meetings they will be documented with evaluation
paperwork and progress reported. Although the meetings may shorten between time, we still would
make sure to conduct check ins through phone calls. This process provides the client with utmost
support and tracking their quality-of-life progress without disrupting their independence and
letting them have room to grow.
