Instructions
Imagine that you, and a few others who have a passion for
community awareness and intervention, have been given a 4
million dollar grant to establish a program, center, or
organization. This assignment can be a proposal for a
marginalized population within your community whose mental
health needs have been overlooked or ignored by service
providers. The proposal can take the shape of a “Community
Action Plan” that you and an interest group would present to the
county commissioner or city council, or it can take the shape of
a “Proposal for The _______ Center”, in which you describe the
population, current issues, needed services, a proposed program,
a rationale, a budget, etc. for potential consideration by an
interest group, committee, or funding organization.
This must be a 12-15 page paper in current APA format with
12sources. You must incorporate the June & Black and the Scott
& Wolfe texts in substantial and meaningful ways and draw on
recent journal articles, particularly for the needs analysis,
assessment, and program objectives. A minority of your sources
may be professional sources that shed light on the issues at
hand. Include the following content, using the bold outline
headings below as your paper headings, substituting your
program/center/organization where appropriate
