3. Economic,
Social, and
Technilogical
Factors
• Domestic violence victims may be impacted by social
variables such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and loss of
relationships (with friends or family).
• Loss of employment, rising instability, and substandard
living conditions are some of the economic problems
affecting the clientele.
• Passage of new laws to improve victim protection would be
one political element that would impact my clients.
• Due to technological advancements, their attacker could
more easily stalk them. The abuser may gain access to the
clients' smart home technology if they have any in order to
observe their activities. They might also follow them online.
To deceive them into meeting up with them, they can pose
as someone else.
4. Culture and
Diversity
How will you be inclusive? - We will offer
counseling to all who need help. We will have training
on how to properly handle the different cultures in our
community.
How will culture and diversity impact your
program? - Cultures and diversity can have an
impact on clients, such as laws against divorce and
fear of leaving marriages.
5. Organizational
Theory and
Design
• The Contingency Theory is used
to adjust the program to meet the
needs of both clients and staff.
• Tasks should be distributed
according to each employee's
level of experience, with the
