This document analyzes domestic violence victims in South Oropouche, Trinidad and Tobago. It describes the community's demographics, high unemployment, and social stratification. Victims of domestic violence, including women, children, and elders, experience oppression through physical, psychological, and financial abuse. They have low social power and lack resources. The document analyzes how oppression functions and its significance in terms of social justice, social work values, and human rights. It concludes with recommendations for support services and policy changes to address domestic violence in the community.
1) By 2030, over 71 million Americans will be aged 65 and older, comprising 20% of the US population.
2) In 2003, state programs investigated over 20,000 complaints of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of nursing home and board and care residents, with physical abuse being the most commonly reported.
3) Data suggests that for elder abuse occurring in domestic settings, only 1 in 14 incidents come to the attention of authorities, excluding incidents of self-neglect.

The document discusses challenges in measuring and comparing homelessness in New Zealand to Europe. It finds that people in institutions are not considered homeless, while those living in uninhabitable housing and experiencing poverty would be classified as homeless. Another indicator like income is needed when using census data to identify the homeless population. Overall, logical and valid measurement is important for homelessness to become a key social indicator internationally.
An Interprofessional Approach to Substance Abuse in Primary CareASAMPUBS
An integrated model of treatment improves care by recognizing that patients need clear and consistent care from their primary care provider “in a way that thoroughly considers biological, social, behavioral, and psychological components of their presenting complaint” by integrating psychological, addiction, and other treatments into a cohesive whole.

Campbell Rver Aboriginal Community Mapping Proposallaloni
Laloni Everitt chose to map the Aboriginal community in Campbell River, which is from the Kwakiutl Nation. Due to loss of culture, many Kwakiutl people know little about their cultural heritage. The Kwakiutl Nation formed from several groups that merged over time due to various factors and now reside in areas like Campbell River, Quadra Island, and Comox Valley. St. Michael's Residential School operated from 1877-1974 and many survivors are from the Kwakiutl Nation. The potlatch ceremony was an important cultural practice that was outlawed but is now being revitalized. The community is working to overcome the intergenerational trauma caused by colonial policies

The document analyzes domestic violence victims in South Oropouche, Trinidad and Tobago. It describes the community's high unemployment and poverty following oil industry closures. Victims of domestic violence, especially women, children, and elders, have low social power and experience oppression. The document discusses how domestic violence has become normalized through laws and culture. It analyzes how oppression functions through controlling behaviors, trauma, and lack of support from the legal system. Upholding human rights and social justice is important for empowering this vulnerable group.
Poverty is a multi-dimensional social phenomenon that involves the lack of basic needs such as food, water, sanitation, shelter, education, and health care. It is not only characterized by low income, but also by lack of access to opportunities, social exclusion, and lack of voice in decision making. Poverty can be defined and measured in both absolute and relative terms. Absolute poverty refers to a set standard for basic needs that is consistent over time and between locations, while relative poverty views poverty as dependent on social context and measures it relative to others in a population.
The causes of homelessness are complex and interrelated. Structural factors like a lack of affordable housing and poverty contribute to making individuals vulnerable to homelessness. Personal crises like job loss, health issues, divorce, incarceration, and domestic violence often trigger homelessness for those living on the edge of poverty without a support system. Disabling conditions like mental illness or addiction can both cause and prolong homelessness when individuals do not have access to treatment and family support.

This document summarizes the emotional impact of resettlement on refugee children and families and treatment strategies. It discusses how the refugee experience involves trauma at multiple stages including forced migration, camp residency, and resettlement. Resettlement brings challenges like isolation, lack of support systems, and stress from cultural adjustment. Refugees are vulnerable to mental health issues like PTSD and depression. Treatment requires understanding a family's culture and experiences, building trust over time, involving parents, and addressing both practical and emotional needs. Meeting youths' developmental needs may also require alternative assessment approaches.
Countries in Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CEE/CIS) have a tremendously high number of children who grow up in formal care: 1.3 million. Around half of them grow up in large scale residential care institutions which risks harming their health, development and future life chances.
The document discusses human trafficking and defines it as the recruitment, transportation, or harboring of persons through force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of exploiting them through acts such as forced labor, slavery, or sexual exploitation. It notes that vulnerable populations are more at risk of trafficking due to factors like poverty, corruption, and conflict. The document also examines the multiple perspectives on human trafficking as well as interventions and treatment approaches for victims.
The document defines and discusses various aspects of poverty, including definitions focused on lack of basic needs, deprivation, social exclusion, and a multidimensional concept involving more than just income. Poverty is described as both a cause and effect, creating a cycle. Causes mentioned include economic, governance, overpopulation, social discrimination, and environmental factors. Effects include worse health outcomes and the potential for poverty to continue across generations without outside intervention. The document also discusses measures like the poverty line, food threshold, and Human Development Index for conceptualizing and measuring poverty.
This document contains information on several topics:
1. It discusses geographical features, people, wildlife, and conflicts occurring in an unspecified region experiencing issues like war, poverty, and overpopulation.
2. It outlines issues facing the people in this region, including safety concerns like rape, health issues like HIV, high fertility rates, inequality, and illiteracy.
3. It lists recommendations to address these issues in the short, medium, and long term, such as establishing agencies to protect women, providing education, enforcing laws, and promoting gender equality.
The concept of citizenship tends to be seen as inclusive. Today, more and more emphasis is placed on education for citizenship and is a major part of the curriculum. However, different theories of citizenship conceive it in different ways. Different tiers of citizenship are created according to the extent to which a person is said to belong. In some states, citizenship is conferred according to birth (jus soli) whereas in others it is a question of inheritance (jus sanguinus). However, even if someone is nominally a full citizen, they can be excluded in different ways, for example, due to their sex, ethnicity, or class status. This week we will examine the concept of citizenship and look at who is included, and who is excluded by it. We will pay particular attention to the ways in which class and socioeconomic deprivation have an effect on the ability to be a full citizen by examining the role of education, the Welfare State, and political participation.
Legal Champions Making Change in a Complex, Dynamic, and Increasingly Unequal...Wellesley Institute
This document summarizes a presentation by Michael Shapcott from the Wellesley Institute on legal advocacy for housing and social issues. The presentation notes that we live in a complex, dynamic and increasingly unequal world. It discusses rising inequality in Canada, with the rich getting richer while middle and lower income groups fall behind. The presentation recommends advocacy approaches like identifying root causes, following the money, leveraging rights based approaches, and creating smart solutions. It encourages advocates to identify "homelessness makers" and take action on affordable housing wait lists. The presentation argues housing is critical for health and advocates should use all tools and a rights based approach to tackle complex social issues.
This presentation is by a student in the University of Illinois Great Cities Institute Certificate of Nonprofit Management Program class on nonprofits and civic engagement. Tom Tresser is the instructor.
The document summarizes the mission and activities of FamilyPolicy.Ru, an advocacy group that aims to strengthen natural family values in Russia, CIS countries, the UN, and internationally. It was founded by three prominent pro-family organizations: the World Congress of Families, the Family and Demography Foundation, and the Interregional Public Organization "For Family Rights". The group will advocate for policies that support the traditional married family and address Russia's demographic crisis through activities like conferences, presentations, and participation in international bodies like the UN.
While the culture of poverty has usually been identified as a negative concept, we will reveal the true definition and its implications for child welfare. This workshop will focus on participants gaining the tools necessary to work with developmentally traumatized children and their families in a "culture of poverty."

This document discusses the concepts of placatory versus transformative practice in community development. It argues that placatory practice is decontextualized as it lacks structural analysis of issues like poverty and inequality. Transformative practice, on the other hand, is grounded in principles of social and environmental justice, popular education for participatory democracy, and analysis of power imbalances. The document advocates applying a human rights framework and emphasizing equality, dignity and respect for all in community development work. It also references concepts from theorists like Paulo Freire to argue for conscientization, collective action and dialogue as key aspects of transformative community development practice.
Is best practice really elusive when working with Indigenous populations?MHF Suicide Prevention
The philosophy around the development of an Indigenous Australian specific psychological service and discuss the obvious value with an approach which is based on extensive community engagement, ongoing validation of models and services, and importantly ensuring that a rigorous research methodology is applied to all aspects of service provision. Indigenous Australians have amongst the highest rates of mental ill health worldwide, but continue to have the lowest levels of access to mental health services.

The document discusses research into best practices for reducing stigma towards people with albinism (PWA) in Tanzania. It finds that stigma reduction programs should educate communities, empower PWA, and utilize local leaders. Integrating PWA into mainstream society can help reduce "us vs them" thinking. While a few NGOs in Tanzania address these issues, more can be done to educate traditional healers, as they are respected community members who could influence beliefs. Overall, addressing stigma requires understanding local context and implementing multi-pronged, community-based approaches.
The document discusses the American behavioral pandemic of consumerism and its causes and symptoms. It argues that consumerism has been exacerbated by several social and environmental factors such as a poor diet, environmental toxins, excessive media and marketing, overuse of medication, and a lack of education. The symptoms of consumerism include poor academic performance, vocational apathy, temporal myopia, sexual misconduct, and denial of one's own dysfunction. The document asserts that consumerism has become widespread among native-born Americans but is rare among immigrants.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
