Make sure that your assertions are supported by appropriate research and reputable resources. Last weeks discussion and responses Problem Iris a 78-year-old divorced lady who lives alone and relies on a pension from the pace she used to work as an elementary teacher and the social security retirement benefits. Two years ago her husband divorced her for a younger woman and Iris was not blessed with any child. Iris is forgetful, old, and in need of someone to talk to despite claiming to be independent. Iris is also going through depression because of being divorced by her husband abruptly in the last two years and also because she misses her independence because she now needs to stay in a facility that can provide care for her as it gets harder for her to take care of herself. This paper will look into a policy that can help Iris control and take care of herself. Solution One of the ways of helping Iris is to provide a way in which she can have company. A policy that will provide or extend the civic engagement of adults will go a long way into helping Iris to extend her stay at the facility she was sent to. This policy should help improve her wellbeing because she feels loneliness because Iris is still dealing with the divorce, she went through which happened abruptly without warning. Policymakers should ensure this is considered so as to give her and other older people at the center time to heal and focus on their health rather than missing home (Zarbo, et al, 2017). The policy should also focus on restructuring health care systems so that those who receive low pensions and retirement benefits can get something that will help them receive proper medical aid. The medical care system should search for ways to increase financial incentives especially for those from low-income families so that they can be able to access medical aid that encompasses a variety of medications. For instance, Iris cannot use the money she gets as a pension to pay for all her medical bills as well as the bills waiting for her at home because she obviously left a house when s.

SOCW 6311 wk 6 Discussion: Program Evaluation: Benefits and Concerns of Stakeholders All questions in bold then answers 300 to 500 words without questions Dudley (2014) points out that social work practice is usually embedded in programs. While you looked at practice evaluation using single-subject design in Week 3, this week, you shift focus to program evaluation. Program evaluation serves many purposes, including accountability to funders and to the public. Often, funding sources such as government agencies or private foundations requires periodic program evaluations. These evaluations can help provide answers to many different questions, and can contribute to improvement of services. There are a variety of program evaluation models that are appropriate for addressing different questions as well as facilitating the collection and analysis of many different types of data. To prepare for this Discussion, identify a program within an agency with which you are familiar, which could benefit from process evaluation and outcome evaluation. You do not need to identify the agency in your post. Also, review the different evaluation models highlighted in this week’s resources ( needs assessment, program monitoring, client satisfaction study, outcome evaluation, or cost benefit study). Post a brief summary of the program that you selected. I live in Tacoma Washington I work for CHI Hospice and intern at Sound options elderly care This is social work Recommend a program evaluation model that would answer a question relevant to the program. Explain the potential benefits of the program evaluation that you proposed (both process and outcome). Identify 2–3 concerns that stakeholders might have about your proposed evaluation and how you would address those concerns. Then explain 2–3 concerns that stakeholders may have about your proposed program evaluation and how you would address those concerns. Resources Dudley, J. R. (2014).

One purpose of a needs assessment is to explore in more depth whether a new program within an organization or agency is needed (Dudley, 2014, p. 117). Key questions of this type of needs assessment may revolve around: (1) whether there are enough prospective clients to warrant this type of program, (2) the different activities or programs that the respondents would be interested in using, priorities for some activities over others, (3) importance of the activities, and (4) times in which this program would be desired and used (Dudley, 2014, p. 117). Potential barriers for the implementation of a new program should also be assessed to ensure the best possible outcome. Some barriers to services could include factors such as: location, costs, potential need for fees, and possible psychological issues related to such things. The following is an assessment of an intensive outpatient program for youth, and a potential need that is currently being unmet.

SOCW 6311 wk 8 Assignment: Planning a Needs Assessment II One of the many reasons social workers conduct needs assessment is to provide support for new programs. Social workers have many methods available to collect necessary data for a needs assessment. Social workers can use existing data from a wide range of sources, including local and national reports by government and nonprofit agencies, as well as computerized mapping resources. Social workers can gather new data through interviews and surveys with individuals and focus groups. This data can provide the evidence that supports the need for the program. To prepare for this Assignment, review the needs assessment plans that you and your classmates generated for this week’s Discussion. Also, review the logic models that you created in Week 7 and any literature on needs of caregivers that you used to generate them. Consider the following to stimulate your thinking: Getting information about the needs of the target population: Who would informants be? What is your purpose for interacting with them? What questions would you ask? What method would you use (interview, focus group, questionnaire)? Finding potential clients: Who would informants be? What is your purpose for interacting with them? What questions would you ask? What method would you use? Interacting with the target population: Who would informants be? What is your purpose for interacting with them? What questions would you ask? What method would you use? Submit a 2- to 3-page paper outlining a hypothetical needs assessment related to the support group program for caregivers. Include the following: The resources needed to operate this service The program activities The desired outcomes A plan for gathering information about the population served Justifications for your plans and decisions A one-paragraph conclusion describing how you might conduct a follow-up to the needs assessment at the implementation stage of the program evaluation Resources Dudley, J.

I chose a victim advocate program that provides crisis intervention for sexual assault victims. “The Victim Advocate provides emotional support to primary victims and secondary victims during the examination at the hospital or during an interview with the police. Applicant must be able to respond to victim/family in a non-judgmental and unbiased manner. The requirement is to work a minimum 2 shifts per month ( https://visitthecenter.org/volunteer , 2018).” I chose the program monitoring to answer the question about clients being satisfied with this service program. Explain the potential benefits of the program evaluation that you proposed (both process and outcome). The process benefits of monitoring the program helps with determining the strengths and weaknesses of the service program that is being implemented. It helps to discover ways to improve program services for the most effective outcomes. Additionally, monitoring the program presents accountability to ensure effectiveness and integrity of the program. “Program monitoring typically uses many different types of data-collection strategies, such as questionnaires given out to clients or staff members, individual and group interviewing of staff and clients, observations of pro-grams and specific interactions between staff members and clients, reviews of existing documents such as client files and personnel documents, and consulting experts (Dudley, 2014) (p.73).” Identify 2–3 concern.

SOCW 6311 wk 6 assignment: Developing a Program Evaluation To ensure the success of a program evaluation, a social worker must generate a specific detailed plan. That plan should describe the goal of the evaluation, the information needed, and the methods and analysis to be used. In addition, the plan should identify and address the concerns of stakeholders. A social worker should present information about the plan in a manner that the stakeholders can understand. This will help the social worker receive the support necessary for a successful evaluation. To prepare for this Assignment, identify a program evaluation you would like to conduct for a program with which you are familiar. Consider the details of the evaluation, including the purpose, specific questions to address, and type of information to collect. Then, consider the stakeholders that would be involved in approving that evaluation. Review the resources for samples of program evaluations.

Your response References Your response PEER 1 Katie Otte Using one of the direct quotes and/or photos from Knight et al.’s study, analyze it by drawing up a tentative meaning. The quote I selected to analyze for this discussion post is: “[The homeless shelter administrator] told me I would find a place [through a subsidized program] if I work with them. And they did find me a lot of places, but I didn’t want to go, because [those] SROs they have now are really nasty. Really tore up, tore down. Syringes in the bathroom. Blood on the toilet. Because you use the same toilet that everybody else uses. So it wasn’t sanitized. So I didn’t want to go. And I found the Martin Hotel and I went in and it was a really clean, nice place. So I went back to [the shelter] and I asked them ‘Can you please get me a place inside that hotel?’ They said that would be cool, they would work on it. And within two, three weeks I had a place at the Martin.” (Knight, Lopez, Comfort, Shumway, Cohen, & Riley, 2014). This quote reflects a woman who expressed her need and desire to have an SRO that met her mental health needs. Rather than accepting the first available room, she chose to work with the shelter administrator to find a more suitable place. This quote depicts the impact that an SRO can have on a woman’s mental health and how the environment can exacerbate their physical and emotional health. Discuss how this would specifically inform one intervention recommendation you would make for social work practice with the homeless. This recommendation can be on the micro, meso.

You provided an insightful analysis of this particular process evaluation, and it seems that you were able to design a comprehensive presentation guideline. I agree with your tactic to break the presentation up into categories, and the categories you have selected seem to address the major components of the program, the evaluation itself, and the findings of said evaluation. You also provided a great analysis and summary of the PATHS program. The purpose of the program is clear, and the overarching purpose of the evaluation was made clear in your synopsis as well. Identify ways your colleagues might improve their presentations. You addressed outcome measures very well, however, there may have been some lacking information in regards to overall evaluation methods as a whole. Addressing factors such as who was collecting the data, how they were trained, how their training or standing could limit potential bias, and similar information. This may be an important piece of information that could help to provide audience members with a better understanding of the evaluation processes as a whole.

Your response References Your response PEER 1 McKenna Bull RE: Discussion - Week 4 Post an interpretation of the case study’s conclusion that “the vocational rehabilitation intervention program may be effective at promoting full-time employment.” The design described in this particular case study seeks to assess the effectiveness of a new vocational rehabilitation program for recently paroled prison inmates (Plummer, Makris and Brocksen, 201, p. 63). In order to evaluate this program, the evaluators implemented a quasi-experimental research design. In this design, participants are not randomly assigned to conditions or orders of conditions (Price et al., 2016). Ultimately, quasi-experimental research involves the manipulation of an independent variable without the random assignments of participants to conditions or orders of conditions (Price et al., 2016). It seems that this design is specifically more of a “nonequivalent” design. As they have two subject groups essentially, those 30 who are able to immediately participate in the program (“intervention” group) and the other 30 who are on the wait list (“comparison” group). Based on the data presented, it seems that there may be some statistically significant relation between the independent variable (vocational rehabilitation intervention) and the dependent variable (employment). It’s important to note the use of “may” in “the vocational rehabilitation intervention program may be effective at promoting full-time employment…”. It is nearly impossible to “prove” a cause and effect relationship in regards to research in the social work field, due to humanistic components of the studies, and other aspects that may be out of the control of the researcher. The researchers were able to include the outcome .

For this assignment, I have chosen the Time-Series Design. I chose this design as it is still a quasi-experimental design but also has several pre-test and post-test outcome measures. It involves obtaining several client outcome measures before the introduction of intervention and several additional measures after the intervention has been implemented (Dudley, 2014). One benefit of this design is the data trends can help determine the extent to which the intervention, as opposed to external outside factors is the “causal agent” (Dudley, 2014). Then, generate criteria to be measured using the research design by identifying a specific outcome and a method for measuring that outcome. Specify who will collect the data and how the data will be collected.

IT does not have to be long but has to in text citation and full references MY POST SummerLove Holcomb RE: Discussion - Week 1 Top of Form The Characteristics of the evidence-based practice (EBP) The evidence-based program is defined as the programs that are effective and this is based on the rigorous assessment. One of the key features of EBP is that they have been assessed thoroughly in an experimental or quasi-experimental study. The evaluation of the EBP has been subjected to critical peer review and this implies that a conclusion has been reached by the evaluation experts. The EBP requires the ability to differentiate between the unverified opinions concerning the psychosocial interventions and the facts about their effectiveness. It is involving the process of inquiry that is provided to the practitioners and described for the physicians. This is important in integrating the best evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values as well as the situations that are linked to the management of the patient, management of the practice, and health policy decision-making processes (Small & O'Connor, 2007). The assessment of the factors that are supporting or impeding the adoption of the evidence-based practice Several factors are associated with the failure to the successful adoption of EBP. The implementation of EBP for example in healthcare facilities requires the dedication of time. Therefore, lack of adequate time for the training and implementation of the EBP makes it hard to adopt it within the facility. The adoption of evidence-based practice also requires adequate resources. This, therefore, implies that there must be adequate resources to facilitate the effective implementation and the adoption of the EBP. This, therefore, implies that smaller organizations with unstable capital income might not adopt the EBP. Another barrier is the inability to understand the statistical terms or the jargons used in the EBP. This leads to barriers in understanding thus making it hard to implement the EBP (Duncombe, 2018). Therefore, the factors that might support the implementation of the EBP are the availability of resources and adequate time. References Duncombe, D. C. (2018).

SOCW 6311 Week 3 Discussion: Choosing and Using Single-System Design Many people receive their first introduction to the scientific method in their early school years. The first experiments which students undertake typically involve plants, chemicals, or small animals in a tightly controlled experimental environment. These experiments enable students to establish a relatively clear cause-and-effect relationship between the outcome of the experiment and the manipulation of the variables. As soon as a researcher introduces a human element, proving a cause and effect relationship becomes more difficult—as the researcher cannot enact total control of another person even in an experimental environment. Social workers serve clients in highly complex real-world environments. Clients often implement recommended interventions outside of social workers’ direct observation. Yet, evidence-based research calls for social workers to establish cause-and-effect relations between selected interventions and client outcomes as much possible. To meet this challenge, social workers must understand the study designs available to them and all of the variations of that design that can increase the rigor of the experiment and improve the likelihood of verifying a cause-and-effect relationship. In this week’s case study, you decide whether the social worker in the case study has appropriately chosen a single-system (subject) design and implemented it in such a way that it can be considered an appropriate example of evidence-based research. To prepare for this Discussion, read the case study Social Work Research: Single Subject and criteria for using single-system (subject) designs as evidence of effective practices in this week’s resources. Consider whether the study design described in the case study will serve the purpose of evaluating the program’s practice approach (case management with solution-focused and task-centered approaches). Consider whether these approaches are well suited to evaluation by the types of measurement used in the study. Consider to what objective measurement the numerical scales used to measure problem-change and task completion corresponds. Consider what new knowledge and evidence for the efficacy of the treatment approaches Chris has generated with her study. Provide a 300-word Discussion Post: - An evaluation of the proposed study design described in the case study below. - Explain whether the outcome of Chris’ study with her client George would lead you to adopt the model of case management with solution-focused and task-centered approaches, and substantiate your choice. - Provide recommendations for improvements should Chris and her colleagues wish to submit the study to the evidence-based practice registry. Include rationale for your recommendations. Must contain at least 3 references and citations form the following materials. Required Readings Dudley, J. R. (2014).

SOCW 6200: Human Behavior and the Social Environment I Week 4: Social Development in Infants and Children Assignment: Child Abuse and Neglect Physical, emotional, and sexual abuse can have a devastating impact on a child and his or her family members. Social workers need to understand how to recognize and respond to cases of abuse expertly and efficiently. With an empathetic and helpful social worker, victims/survivors of abuse can take their first step onto the long road toward healing. For this Assignment, read the case study Working With Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Trauma: The Case of Brandon and then consider what you would do if you were a social worker and had to report a parent of suspected child abuse. By Day 7 Submit a 3- to 4-page paper in which you review the approach taken by the social worker in Brandon’s case. Identify how the social worker might have used the ecological model to understand Brandon’s situation based on a person-in-environment perspective. Explain the use of the ecological model in this case on micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Describe strengths the social worker may have missed in assessing Brandon and his mother. Review the challenges that the social worker identifies and explain the impact the abuse could have had on Brandon had his strengths not been identified and addressed.

SOCW 6210 Week 7. Discussion: Psychological Aspects of Aging Week 7: Psychological Aspects of Later Adulthood Individuals in later adulthood address developmental tasks that are unique to their life-span phase, and many of these tasks "are psychological in nature" (Zastrow & Kirst-Ashman, 2016, p. 657). Many aspects of living as an older adult may differ significantly from what an individual experienced in an earlier phase of his or her life-span. For example, changes in older individuals' income, living arrangements, social connections, and physical strength may influence how they view themselves, interact with others, and think about their futures. This week, as we explore the psychological aspects of later adulthood, we consider theories of successful aging and their application to social work practice. We also consider how you might apply models of grieving to support families in a hospice environment when an aging family member approaches death. Theories of successful aging explain factors that support individuals as they grow old, contributing to their ability to function. Increasing your understanding of factors that support successful aging improves the ability to address the needs of elderly clients and their families. To prepare for this Discussion, review this week's media. In addition, select a theory of successful aging to apply to Sara's case. Post a Discussion in which you: · Explain key life events that have influenced Sara's relationships. Be sure to substantiate what makes them key in your perspective. · Explain how you, as Sara's social worker, might apply a theory of successful aging to her case. Be sure to provide support for your strategy. Proper English with no run-on sentences is an absolute requirement! The paper must contain 3 references and citations.

SOCW 6210 Week 6 discussion post responses. Respond to the colleagues posts in one of the following ways: · From a strength's perspective, critique your colleague's approach to addressing Francine's case. Provide support for your critique. · Critique your colleague's strategy for applying knowledge of the aging process to work with older clients. Discuss how cultural, ethnic, and societal influences might affect the application of this strategy. · At least one reference and citation is required in each post. SR’s post states the following:Top of Form As a group, LGBT older adults experience unique economic and health disparities. LGBT older adults may disproportionately be affected by poverty and physical and mental health conditions due to a lifetime of unique stressors associated with being a minority and may be more vulnerable to neglect and mistreatment in aging care facilities (American, 2019). In the case of Francine (Plummer, 2014) she is a 70-year-old Catholic woman, who personally identifies as a lesbian. She never felt comfortable actually “coming out” due to the environment she grew up in. Both in the era, she grew up in and the strict Catholic belief she was raised in is against homosexual nature she felt it wasn’t appropriate to discuss. As she got older and experienced the loss of her partner, she felt those who cared about her felt she should not mourn her loss so hard. It could have been due to her never admitting who her partner really was, or the common mindset of those around her. It could affect how she viewed her life and what she should do as an older adult in her sexual life. Environmental factors influence the aging process. Being physically and mentally active tends to slow down the aging process. Inactivity speeds it up. A positive outlook (positive thinking) tends to slow down the aging process. Insecurity, the lack of someone to talk to, negative thinking, and being in a strange environment tend to accelerate the aging process (Zastrow, 2016). In Francine’s case, the loss of her loved one and retirement has affected her outlook. She feels sad and isolated, it has taken its toll and that can progress the effects of ages. Once she gained a support system she was able to increase her activity and her mental stability changed. As a worker, I would use the understanding that environmental factors and personal views can affect a client and manifest as an aging process. I would help Francine by using cognitive reasoning to help her accept her life and make changes that make her happy. While morning her loved one is appropriate, helping herself is as well. The notion that there is a general intellectual decline in old age is largely incorrect. Most intellectual abilities hold up well with age. While older people show a decline in performance on IQ tests, their actual intellectual competence may not be declining (Zastrow, 2016). A strategy I might use in applying my knowledge of the aging process in social work practice.

SOCW 6200: Human Behavior and the Social Environment I Discussion 1: Moral Development Theory and Bullying Bullying is not a new phenomenon, but social media and communication technologies have introduced a breadth and depth to which public shaming, targeted taunting, and bullying have manifested. For this Discussion, consider how bullying has changed and how it has remained the same in light of modern technology. Post an explanation of one moral development theory and its connection to the act of bullying. Be sure to frame your explanation within the context of cyber and other bullying that persists in social media and communication technologies used by adolescents. Also explain how bullying has changed and how it has remained the same in light of modern technology. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer. Discussion 2: Bullying: Cycle of Events Bearing witness to trauma has its own set of consequences. Watching repeated episodes of bullying can evoke strong emotional and behavioral responses from an adolescent. During the impressionable stage of social development in adolescents, these experiences can contribute to a change in perception about the ways people should and do treat each other. Furthermore, ongoing exposure to this behavior can jeopardize an adolescent’s healthy social development. For this Discussion, consider how the act of bullying experienced by one adolescent may change the experience of another who witnesses it. Post a scenario that illustrates how bullying experienced by one adolescent may change the experience of another who witnesses it. Then address the availability of any social work intervention, skill, or practice that might change this cycle of events. Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.

SOCW 6200: Human Behavior and the Social Environment I Week 10 Project: Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment Assessing a client’s biological, psychological, and social history is a holistic approach that is an essential aspect of social work practice. Since one area often affects the other two, it is important to get as accurate an assessment as possible when working with a client. Social workers use the bio-psycho-social tool to communicate specific information, and possible conclusions, about a client to other professionals. It is, at once, a summary of current issues and problems; a listing of past factors that may be relevant to the current situation; and a description of potential issues that may have an effect on the client in the future. In addition to describing the client’s challenges and problems, the assessment identifies strengths and assets that are available to provide support. For this Project you create a bio-psycho-social assessment. By Day 7 Submit 9 -page paper that focuses on an adolescent from one of the case studies presented in this course. For this Project, complete a bio-psycho-social assessment and provide an analysis of the assessment. This Project is divided into two parts: Part A: Bio-Psycho-Social Assessment: The assessment should be written in professional language and include sections on each of the following: Presenting issue (including referral source) Demographic information Current living situation Birth and developmental history School and social relationships Family members and relationships Health and medical issues (including psychological and psychiatric functioning, substance abuse) Spiritual development Social, community, and recreational activities Client strengths, capacities, and resources Part B: Analysis of Assessment. Address each of the following: Explain the challenges faced by the client(s)—for example, drug addiction, lack of basic needs, victim of abuse, new school environment, etc. Analyze how the social environment affects the client. Identify which human behavior or social theories may guide your practice with this individual and explain how these theories inform your assessment. Explain how you would use this assessment to develop mutually agreed-upon goals to be met in order to address the presenting issue and challenges face by the client. Explain how you would use the identified strengths of the client(s) in a treatment plan. Explain how you would use evidence-based practice when working with this client and recommend specific intervention strategies (skills, knowledge, etc.) to address the presenting issue. Analyze the ethical issues present in the case. Explain how will you address them. Describe the issues will you need to address around cultural competence. Grading Criteria Rubric Detail.
