Kinship care, where children are raised by extended family instead of parents, is a growing practice. Kinship caregivers face challenges including lack of financial support, legal ambiguity, and stress. They have greater needs for parenting skills, health resources, and emotional support compared to non-kinship foster care. Children raised in kinship care are at risk for behavioral, academic, and emotional issues stemming from their family situations, but may benefit from greater family connection and stability compared to non-kin foster care. Effective support strategies include support groups, education programs, and ensuring kinship caregivers' needs are met separately from children's supervision needs.
Presentation w ith sources and full information
This document provides information on best practices for out-of-home foster care placements based on research from 2004-2009. It discusses types of placements like foster homes and group homes, as well as problems that can occur with placements like instability and separation of siblings. Nine best practices are then presented: 1) pre-screening homes for suitable matches, 2) providing consistent medical/academic services, 3) matching mentors to children, 4) reducing social worker turnover, 5) minimizing multiple placements, 6) increasing involvement in case planning, 7) decreasing time in placements, 8) encouraging attachment bonding, and 9) considering biological and foster family bonds for permanency placements. Suggested applications are provided for each best practice.

The document thanks sponsors, donors, and volunteers who supported the Gadsden County Healthy Start Coalition event, including representatives from Big Bend Transit, Boys Town, and local radio. It provides an overview of the Healthy Start Program services available through the Florida Department of Health in Gadsden County to help every baby get a healthy start. Finally, it thanks various exhibitors, organizations, and programs that support maternal and child health in Gadsden County through the Gadsden County Healthy Start Coalition.
CaregiverSurvey
The document discusses the challenges of arranging in-home care for family members and the toll it can take on caregivers. It summarizes the results of a survey by Always Best Care, the leading provider of non-medical in-home care, of over 5,000 caregivers. The survey found that caregivers strongly recommend that those providing care make time for themselves to avoid physical and emotional burnout. It also encourages families to prepare themselves and their loved ones for the transition to in-home care through open communication and establishing a clear care plan.
Sandwiched In:
This document discusses strategies for balancing elder care responsibilities with career and personal life. It notes that the elderly population is growing significantly and many caregivers are "sandwiched" between caring for children and parents. Typical caregivers spend over 20 hours per week assisting elderly family members with tasks like medical appointments, finances, and daily living activities. The presentation recommends having early conversations about medical issues and end-of-life wishes to plan for elder care needs and prevent crises. It also reviews Medicare options and resources to help caregivers.
Findings and recommendations
This document summarizes findings and recommendations from a project on kinship carers. It finds that kinship carers' needs and those of children in their care are often unmet. It recommends that more research be done to understand kinship care placements and the core needs of carers. National and local authorities should give increased attention to meeting kinship carers' needs, and other agencies should consider the whole family's needs. Reducing stigma and developing resources for carers could have positive impacts. More research is also recommended on prevention programs and risks for children in kinship care.
Power point presentation
The Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) has several programs aimed at protecting children, preventing abuse and neglect, and supporting families in crisis. The Early Intervention and Prevention program provides services to keep families safe and intact or prevent court involvement. The Intake and Emergency Response program helps children remain with their families through preventative services. The Emergency Response division investigates reports of abuse and neglect within required timeframes. DCFS's vision is to lead a community partnership that supports and protects children through prevention, ensuring safety, permanence and well-being.
060404 Right At Home Choosing Home Care[1]
The document discusses various home care options for seniors as people are living longer. It outlines that Medicare only covers certain home health care if patients are homebound and have skilled nursing needs. Non-medical home care can help with tasks like housework, medication reminders, and companionship. Long term care insurance may cover home care costs but policies vary. When selecting a home care provider, it's important to consider their licensing, services provided, employee screening process, and availability. State-funded programs also provide limited home care but have eligibility requirements.

Homlessness task
Young homelessness in the Latrobe Valley is caused by rough family situations and financial problems. Homeless youth are at greater risk of mental health issues, addictions, and diseases. Services like Headspace, Kids Helpline, and Quantum Health Services can help the homeless access support, recover from illness, and get back on their feet. To promote awareness, the author proposes an informative presentation using PowerPoint and infographics at local primary schools to educate youth about homelessness and how to get help. Testing with the author's brother, a primary student, showed the presentation was effective in teaching new information quickly.

The Family Caregiver Support Program administered by the Allegheny County Department of Human Services Area Agency on Aging (AAA) provides up to $200 per month in reimbursements to caregivers for expenses related to caring for a loved one aged 60 or older (or between 18-59 with dementia) at home in Allegheny County. The program aims to help reduce caregiver stress and financial burden by reimbursing costs for services like meal preparation, housekeeping, and supplies. Caregivers aged 18 or older who assist someone aged 60 or older or those aged 55 or older caring for a relative under 18 or between 19-59 are eligible. The AAA can also help connect caregivers to training, counseling, and assess eligibility.
4 slideshow-5 things to consider before choosing in home care
This document discusses 5 things to consider before choosing in-home care for aging parents: 1) In-home care requires ongoing family involvement in managing caregiving tasks and backup care options, 2) Home maintenance tasks like grocery shopping and lawn mowing still need to be done, 3) In-home care can increase social isolation for seniors who are dependent on others for transportation, 4) Home health care costs are billed hourly and can add up quickly depending on care needs, and 5) Caregiving responsibilities can place stress on family relationships and self-care if not managed properly.

Early childhood home visiting programs can help address the needs of young homeless children and families by targeting services to high-risk populations. Several proven home visiting models, such as Early Head Start and Nurse-Family Partnership, focus on child development, healthcare access, and parenting support. Successful partnerships have integrated housing/homelessness services with child development interventions to meet families' long-term needs. States are encouraged to prioritize home visiting services for at-risk groups including low-income families, teenage parents, those with substance abuse issues, and families involved with child welfare.

Working Together for Health
Efforts to improve public health occur around the world every day. However, simply attempting to fix a problem without acknowledging, and respecting, the relationship between culture and health is not likely to have long-term success. Successful interventions, such as those in the case studies presented in your resources, demonstrate organizational collaboration. They also highlight the value of cultural relativism to improve population health outcomes. Working for the people (and with the people) can make an important impact on health.
To prepare for this Discussion, review Chapter 2, "Communities Working to Achieve Health Equity," in the Promoting Health Equity document from Week 2. Select one case study to profile in your discussion. How do the key concepts, addressed in this week's Learning Resources, relate to the case study you selected?
1. Briefly describe the population and health issue addressed in the case study.
2. In what way did cultural beliefs and behaviors contribute to the health issue in these case studies?
3. Which public health (or other) groups intervened, and how did they cooperate to improve health for this population?
4. What measures did the organization take to ensure they respected the dignity of the individuals and their culture?
5. How does this case study relate to our class resources addressing culture and collaboration?

For this discussion, I will access the overall health and identify key issues in Garland County, Arkansas. According to County Health Rankings of 2017, in the area of health outcomes Garland County, Arkansas ranked 44 out of 75 counties. When reviewing national and state results, Arkansas exceeded the U.S. median in all categories of health outcomes. For the health factors summary, they ranked much lower coming in at 28. In the category of health behaviors, 25% of adult Arkansans are smokers and 34% are obese. Both of these percentages are above national averages. Referring back to the topic of my previous discussion, the number of diagnosed sexually transmitted diseases was almost twice as many as the national average and the teen birth rate almost doubled the national average. In the category of clinical care Arkansas is near equal or slightly lower than national averages. Social and economic factors also rank fairly close to the national averages. Overall physical environment factors are no different than the national averages. In my opinion, Arkansas is a fairly clean and comfortable place to live.
After considering these statistics, I can answer the opening question of this discussion. "How healthy is your community?" Not very! As a health ...

For this discussion, I will access the overall health and identify key issues in Garland County, Arkansas. According to County Health Rankings of 2017, in the area of health outcomes Garland County, Arkansas ranked 44 out of 75 counties. When reviewing national and state results, Arkansas exceeded the U.S. median in all categories of health outcomes. For the health factors summary, they ranked much lower coming in at 28. In the category of health behaviors, 25% of adult Arkansans are smokers and 34% are obese. Both of these percentages are above national averages. Referring back to the topic of my previous discussion, the number of diagnosed sexually transmitted diseases was almost twice as many as the national average and the teen birth rate almost doubled the national average. In the category of clinical care Arkansas is near equal or slightly lower than national averages. Social and economic factors also rank fairly close to the national averages. Overall physical environment factors are no different than the national averages. In my opinion, Arkansas is a fairly clean and comfortable place to live.
After considering these statistics, I can answer the opening question of this discussion. "How healthy is your community?" Not very! As a health ...

The documents discuss the importance of addressing social determinants of health and equity in order to improve health outcomes. Charity focuses only on immediate needs while social justice aims to end the underlying causes of inequity. Equality means giving everyone the same things while equity means ensuring fair access to opportunities. Health is determined more by social and environmental factors than healthcare, yet less funding is allocated to social services. True health reform requires a focus on population health and social determinants alongside clinical care. Health equity requires understanding how policies and environments influence health behaviors and outcomes. The documents provide examples of how policies can address social determinants to improve health conditions like diabetes among vulnerable populations like migrants.
What is ACEs and Why is it Important?
The document summarizes research on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). It describes the original ACE study which found that two-thirds of participants reported at least one ACE. ACEs are interrelated and occur in clusters, with increased ACE scores correlated to higher risks of health problems, risky behaviors, and lower life potential. The document recommends promoting resilience and protective factors to reduce the prevalence and impact of ACEs.

This document discusses poverty and health inequities. It finds that those living in poverty experience significantly higher rates of many health issues compared to more affluent groups. For example, in Saskatoon low-income residents are over 1000% more likely to be hospitalized for diabetes or have chlamydia. A survey found most people agree the poor have worse health, and support policies to strengthen early childhood programs, increase income supplements, and expand disease prevention. The document calls on governments and communities, including faith groups, to work together using evidence-based solutions to improve conditions for daily living and reduce health inequities over time.

Wendy Davis: Leveraging Public Health Capacity to Improve Health System Effic...
Many provisions of the ACA hold promise for public health agencies. The reorganization of the healthcare system in the wake of health reform also poses challenges for the public health system. This session will address how public health agency roles may change, opportunities to use public health agencies to lower health costs and improve health outcomes, and the integration of categorical funding streams to build a comprehensive public health system in a post-health reform world.

HCA 415 Week 3 Discussion ( Essential Services Personal Interview ) - A Graded - Quality Work - 100% Original - Plagiarism Free
I already have answer for the discussion but I need to continue with the same interview I had for the discussion and do the assignment. It can be 2-3 pages instead of 4. Can you submit it by tomarrow? It has to be based on the interview provided in discussion. Assignment instructions are also stated below.
Below is the Discussion
Essential Services Personal Interview
Select a population (maternal, infant, child, adolescent, young adults, older adults, elderly) and research the most critical health issues affecting this population.
Describe the most critical health issues affecting your selected population.
Describe at least three public health/community services that exist in your own community to address these issues.
Contact one of these services’ directors (or representative) and inquire about the agency’s effectiveness by asking these questions:
Do you feel your organization has made a difference?
What are your main barriers and how are the barriers to services being addressed?
What are the ethical considerations of your services and how are they addressed?
How is your organization funded?
What concerns are still unmet in your opinion? Are these areas that will be addressed in the future?
What role does your organization play in the overall public health arena?
Present a brief overview of the organization, including its mission and goals/objectives, and then post your interview notes in the discussion forum
Your original post must contain at least one additional scholarly source in addition to the textbook.
ANSWER 1
The issue that I chose for my critical health issue is family planning and teenage pregnancies. For years, it seemed that everywhere I turned there were young teenage girls that were pregnant surrounding me. Currently, “the U.S. still has a teen birthrate of 31.2 per 1,000 teens, nearly one-and-a-half times the rate in the United Kingdom, which has one of the highest rates in Western Europe (Vestal, 2015, para. 1). I believe that prevention programs are the best method to reduce the high teenage pregnancy rates. The World Health Organization stated that, “family planning is a method for helping people to have the desired number of children and for spacing births” (as cited in Friis, et al., 2013, 5.2, para. 2). Healthy People 2020 set their goal for family planning to improve the spacing and planning of pregnancy, but also to prevent unwanted pregnancies (Friis, et al., 2013).
Covenant House has on-site counselors who help teen moms work on building confidence and gain independence. Moms can attend their workshops that teach them various parenting skills and the importance for them and their children to live healthy lives. The Covenant House also provides on-site childcare so that these have the capability to comp.
Determinants of Population Health
Innovators appreciate the role that non-medical factors play.
Care management and business improvement programs can benefit by looking beyond claims or medical records to capture factors that influence health.
