Presenting a Program Implementation Plan and Budget As per the week four discussion and assignment, imagine that you have been appointed to serve as the health department liaison to a community group mobilizing to make change. You have been working with the community for a few months and your supervisor is very happy with your efforts so far. You have made some progress gaining access to and the trust of the community, but some people in the community are still wary of the health department’s involvement. In the past, the health department has come into the community and implemented health promotion programs without taking the community’s needs or wants into account. Many of the programs were perceived of by the community as being offensive and hurtful. For example, many older members of the community remember programs run by the health department that coerced low-income women of color to be sterilized as a way to decrease unplanned pregnancy. (See Krase, 2014 (Links to an external site.) for a review of some of these programs.) Thus, they remain suspicious about why you and the health department want to work with them. Unaware of some of the complexities of the health department and community's relationship, your supervisor has decided to reward your work by granting the community program $5,000. However, the money comes with a stipulation that you may not use it to pay people (i.e. for salaries; you are the staff person who will need to implement the chosen intervention, and your salary is already budgeted) and it must be used to address alcohol and drug abuse, which your supervisor perceives to be an issue in the community with which you are working. In addition, the money must be used within the next two months, prior to the end of the fiscal year. The money is "use it or lose it". If not used within the next two months, the money will be gone and your supervisor may think you and the community do not want or need funding to do your work. Your supervisor has requested you submit by Thursday a one-page overview of the intervention you plan to implement and an associated budget that lays out how you will spend the money. This leaves you no time to talk with community leaders about what they think about the offer for program funding or what should be done with the money. You have a meeting with community leaders scheduled for Thursday night and will need to present them with the proposal you develop this week. The textbook outlines several intervention strategies, including health communication, health education, health policy/enforcement, and environmental change. Based on the analysis you did of the community in week four, choose one or more of these strategies that you think would be most successful given the community’s work to date. In your post: · Outline the primary program components that you will spend the money on. · Create a budget that explains how the funding will be used. · Devise a strategy for how you will present the pl ...

What is the visible condition of housing both residential and multi-family, businesses and their parking lots? Write/type a list. Next, spend some time thinking about what you perceive as issues, problems or concerns in your neighborhood and the community as a whole. Prepare a list of those issues to include in your paper. Thinking about the list of “problems” you have created, whose responsibility is it to address or correct the issues? (Some level of government or governmental body, religious institutions, neighbors, non-profit agencies, etc.) Include these thoughts in your paper – it may be many more than one has some level of responsibility in your view. #2: DATA GATHERING The focus of this paper is the city where you currently reside.

THIS WEEK’S WORK IS TWO DISCUSSIONS. Week 6: Social Change and Professional Development The characteristics of program design and evaluationare intended to provide some level of recommended change or action as a result of the systematic investigation into a program’s effectiveness. Evaluation can provide answers to questions about a program that may be useful in adjusting a program to become more effective. Because evaluation results in insight about the effectiveness of a program for a specific population, evaluation can be used to implement social change or action. Evaluation findings may assist stakeholders (those who hold an interest) or decision makers in go/no-go decisions about specific program modifications or initiate the continuation or demise of the entire program. Today, social policy and public administrative movement are closely associated with social program outcomes and effective evaluations. This week, you present your design for a program addressing the needs of the homeless population in your community and analyze how your program may effect social change. You also evaluate your potential to impact areas of human services delivery and assess the benefits of participating in professional human services organizations. Objectives By the end of this week, you should be able to: · Analyze how human services program design and evaluation influence social change · Evaluate personal impact on areas of human services delivery · Analyze how professional organizations contribute to professional development Learning Resources Required Readings Kettner, P.

Discuss how a successful organization should have the following layers of security in place for the protection of its operations: information security management, data security, and network security. Multiple Layers of Security Marlowe Rooks posted Mar 13, 2020 9:54 AM Looking at Vacca”s book chapter 1, “Information security management as a field is ever increasing in demand and responsibility because most organizations spend increasingly larger percentages of their IT budgets in attempting to manage risk and mitigate intrusions, not to mention the trend in many enterprises of moving all IT operations to an Internet-connected infrastructure, known as enterprise cloud computing (John R. Vacca, 2014)”. It is the organization responsibility to protect its business and its client information at all times. With that said I’m going to break down why companies need to have multiple layers of security and what types they should implement below. The first layer is Information security management which can be from Physical Security, or Personnel Security. Physical Security can range from physical items, objects, or areas from unauthorized access and misuse. Personnel Security is to protect the individual or group of individuals who are authorized to access the organization and its operations. Some of the reason to implement Information Security is as follow: · Decrease in downtime of IT systems · Decrease in security related incidents · Increase in meeting an organization's compliance requirements and standards · Increase in customer satisfaction, demonstrating that security issues are tackled in the most appropriate manner · Increase in quality of service · Process approach adoption, which helps account for all legal and regulatory requirements · More easily identifiable and managed risks · Also covers information security (IS) (in addition to IT information security) · Provides a competitive edge to an organization with the help of tackling risks and managing resources/processes The second layer would be Data Security which can be refers to the process of protecting data from unauthorized access and data corruption throughout its lifecycle. Data security includes data encryption, tokenization, and key management practices that protect data across all applications and platforms. Some of the reason to implement Data Security is as follow: · Cloud access security – Protection platform that allows you to move to the cloud securely while protecting data in cloud applications. · Data encryption – Data-centric and tokenization security solutions that protect data across enterprise, cloud, mobile and big data environments. · Web Browser Security - Protects sensitive data captured at the browser, from the point the customer enters cardholder or personal data, and keeps it protected through the ecosystem to the trusted host destination. · Mobile App Security - Protecting sensitive data in native mobile apps while safeguarding the data end-to-end. · eMai.
