This document summarizes research on improving community health through mobilizing formal systems and informal networks. It discusses how the researchers initially focused on preventing family maltreatment in military communities and expanded their work to civilian communities. Their social organization theory examines how community antecedents, social organizational processes, and intermediate results impact individual and family outcomes. The theory emphasizes how informal networks and formal systems intersect to build community capacity and resilience. The document provides empirical support and examples of communities in Roseto, PA, Cameron Park, TX, and Nevada County, CA that demonstrated improved health by mobilizing community members and resources.

This study examines the public engagement practices of the public community college boards of trustees. The trustees’ perceptions of public engagement were pursued through inquiry within five categories: (a) role and responsibilities, (b) definition of public engagement, (c) public engagement practices, (d) barriers to public engagement, and (e) how to make public engagement more effective. The results of study emerged within five major thematic areas, which have implications for theory and practice—(a) trustee roles, (b) trustee relationships with the public, (c) administrative and organizational structures, (d) leadership, and (e) policy which have implications for theory and practice. Finally, the three key conclusions of this study are (a) trustees do not identify deliberative public engagement as a role priority or a default priority; (b) the role of trustees must be reframed and redefined to include democratic public engagement practices; and (c) the public's role in democratic governance must be reclaimed.
Nurturant Support in Online Health Social NetworkingKat Chuang
Abstract:
Background: Expressing emotion in online support communities is an important aspect to enabling e-patients in connecting with each other, in expanding their social resources, and indirectly increase the amount of support for coping with health issues. Exploring the supportive interaction patterns in online health social networking would help us better understand how technology features impacts user behavior in this context.
Objective: We built upon previous research that identified different types of social support in online support communities by delving into patterns of supportive behavior across multiple computer-mediated communication (CMC) formats. Each format combines different ‘architectural elements’, affecting the resulting social spaces. Our research question compares communication among different format of text-based CMC provided on MedHelp.org health social networking environment.
Methods: We identified messages with nurturant support (emotional, esteem, network) across three different CMC formats (forums, journals, notes) of an online support community using content analysis. Our sample consists of 493 forum messages, 423 journal messages, and 1180 notes.
Results: Nurturant support types occurred frequently among messages offering support (Forum Comments, 67%; Journal Posts, 73.9%; Journal Comments, 82.1%; and Notes 84.9%), but less among messages requesting support. Of all the nurturing supports, emotional (i.e. encouragement) appeared most frequently, with network and esteem support appearing in patterns of varying combinations. Members of this community appeared to adapt some traditional face-to-face forms of support to their needs in becoming sober such as provision of encouragement, understanding, and empathy to one another.
Conclusion: We conclude that the CMC format may have the greatest influence on the supportive interactions because of characteristics such as audience reach and access. Other factors include perception of community versus personal space or purpose of communication. These results lead to a need for further research.

Abstract The account of The Alliance for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender,
and Questioning (GLBTQ) Youth formation offers a model for developing com-
munity-based partnerships. Based in a major urban area, this university-community
collaboration was spearheaded by social workers who were responsible for its
original conceptualization, for generating community support, and for eventual
staffing, administration, direct service provision, and program evaluation design.
This article presents the strategic development and evolution of this community-
based service partnership, highlighting the roles of schools of social work, aca-
demics, and social work students in concert with community funders, practitioners
and youth, in responding to the needs of a vulnerable population.

research is recognized as a preferred methodology for gathering necessary data about
community needs, and the utilization of an empowerment perspective is seen as a
complementary lens for guiding practice. Participatory action research involves a
collaborative process that attends to the engagement of, and reflective dialogues
concerning, ideas and viewpoints that have been excluded or privileged in traditional
research processes (Guishard 2009), thus suggesting empowerment as a preferred
practice approach. Additionally, such collaborations offer a venue through which
academics and social work researchers can influence practitioners’ understanding of
and willingness to use evidenced based practice (Bellamy et al. 2008).
Social workers have historically worked within communities as practitioners,
researchers, and advocates for policy change serving vulnerable and oppressed
populations: this has, by necessity, involved efforts to develop partnerships among

Social Justice Advocacy:
Community Collaboration
and Systems Advocacy
Sandra I. Lopez-Baez and Matthew J. Paylo
• h ' h i s article discusses the community collaboration and systems advocacy domains of the ACA (American Counseling
Association) Advocacy Competencies (J. A. Lewis, M. S. Arnold, R. House, & R. L. Toporek, 2002). A case illustration
is presented, and the 8 Advocacy Competencies within each domain are applied to the case study.
This article addresses the community collaboration and sys-
tems advocacy domains articulated by the American Counsel-
ing Association (ACA) Task Force on Advocacy Competencies
(Lewis, Arnold, House, & Toporek, 2002). These domains
involve the community, school, and interacting systems in
which clients live, study, and work. These components of
the client's environment must be addressed in the blueprint
for a social justice agenda that counselors need to follow in
advocating on behalf of their clients. The community col-
laboration and systems advocacy domains can be compared
with the mesosystem level addressed by Bronfenbrenner
(1979) in his Ecological Model. Ecological theory contends
that the mesosystem serves as a link in the interaction among
the systems surrounding the individual. These systems consist
of family, school, work, neighborhood, church, community
agencies, day care, and so on.
The ACA Advocacy Competencies (Lewis et al., 2002)
suggest that counselors intervene in two interrelated domains
within the school/community level of advocacy, namely, com-
munity collaboration and systems advocacy. Counselors can
intervene in the advocacy process either by assuming a posi-
tion as an ally to others in the school/community or by moving
from an ally position to a position of leadership in advocating
for the desired change needed within the school/community.
Community collaboration refers to counselors assuming the
role of an ally. It can take the form of being aware ofthe recur-
rent issues within schools/communities that impede clients'
growth and development. Alerting organizations or agencies
already working for change within a school/community of
counselors' skills and ideas to facilitate the change process
(Lewis et al., 2002) is necessary. Systems advocacy takes the
community collaboration a step further in that counselors
assume a leadership role to implement a systematic plan to
address the issues at hand (Lewis et al., 2002). Within this
domain. Lewin's (1948) theory of force field analysis aids in
the evaluation of driving forces that facilitate change in con-
trast to the restraining forces impeding change, which together
create equilibrium within a school, community, or society.
Force field analysis provides a framework for looking at the
factors (forces) that infiuence a situation both positively and
negatively, in particular social situations. It looks at forces that
are either driving movement toward a goal (helping forces) or
blocking movement toward a goal (hindering forces). Lewi.

Business School, Central South University, Changsha, China
Abstract. With the rapid development of Internet technology, social networks have been widely used in the world, and some
of them are really active and some people are just browsing. Based on this, the collective efficacy was proposed and the three
element interaction determinism was studied. The similarity between social network users was calculated and integrated, and
the collective efficacy was studied. 60 members of the four network groups were interviewed, and 15 influencing factors of
network group efficacy were coded. 230 college students were investigated by questionnaire and the multi factor analysis
method was integrated. The influence of community members’ efficacy on their community involvement was studied through
the initiative, focusing on sharing information and other dependent variables, attitudes, interests, values, personality and other
independent variables. The research results showed that increased awareness of the degree of interpersonal similarity will
increase the degree of involvement of social network group members, and psychological involvement played an intermediary
role in perceived interpersonal similarity and the increases of perceived interpersonal similarity will enhance the fo ...

What is culture? Is it synonymous with nationality? Can culture emerge from the intersection of multiple factors, such as gender identity, ability status, or language? Consider these questions as you prepare to describe your own culture.
For this Discussion, think about how you would identify your culture. Consider aspects of your identity such as your ethnicity, gender identity, religion, race, ability status, sexual orientation, or any other identifiers that contribute to what you would consider your culture.
Post by Day 3 a description of important aspects of your culture that an outsider might not know. Explain the information a social worker would need to know about your culture in order to effectively assist your family in the face of a pressing issue. Describe potential consequences of a lack of cultural awareness on the social worker’s part.

Task Force Project—Applying TheoryIn Module 1, you began.docxbriankimberly26463
Task Force Project—Applying Theory
In
Module 1
, you began your work as the head of the Maternal, Infant, and Reproductive Health Task Force in Centervale. You did this by learning more about adolescent pregnancy and the behavioral, cultural, and environmental risk factors associated with this health issue. In this assignment, your attention turns to community issues. Your task force has representatives from several community organizations. You know that in addition to your focus on an individual-level change, you will need to provide the group with information about community-level change to impact the adolescent pregnancy issue in Centervale.
Directions:
Read the editorial entitled “Community-based Intervention” in which the authors recommend four typologies or approaches to community-based projects (McLeroy, Norton, Kegler, Burdine, & Sumaya, 2003). Consider how each of these typologies might be applicable to adolescent pregnancy prevention in Centervale.
Download and review the “Demographic Background on Centervale.”
Prepare a memo for the task force on the following:
Compare and contrast the four categories of community-based interventions.
Select two typologies to present as options to the task force and explain in detail how these can be applied.
Identify one typology for recommendation, giving reasons in support.
Your final product will be in a MS Word document of approximately 3–4 pages. You should utilize at least 3 scholarly sources beyond the course readings in your research. Your paper should be written in a clear, concise, and organized manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and attribution of sources; and display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

McLeroy et al examine the four categories of community-based projects: community as setting, community as target, community as agent, and community as resource. The goal of community-based programs is to carefully work with naturally occurring units of solution as our units of practice. This necessitates a careful assessment of community structures and processes of any intervention.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. Early Context
• Work in the U.S. Air Force to strengthen military families through
community-based prevention activities
• Initial focus on the primary and secondary prevention of family
maltreatment—child abuse and neglect, domestic violence
• A community practice model was needed to complement a direct services
approach to families in need (remedial model)
• Recognition that the ability of military families to manage duty and lifestyle
demands is partially influenced by how successfully formal systems and
informal networks operate and interact as components of community
social organization
• Work expanded to civilian communities and other branches of the military
services—both in the U.S. and abroad

8. Social Organization
• Values, norms, processes and behavior patterns within a
community that organize, facilitate, and constrain
interactions among community members
• Process by which communities achieve their desired results
for individuals and families, including the ability to
demonstrate resilience in the face of adversity and positive
challenges
• Social organization includes networks of people, the
exchanges and reciprocity that transpire in relationships,
accepted standards and norms of social support, and social
controls that regulate behavior and interaction
* Mancini, J.A., Martin, J.A., & Bowen, G. (2003). Community capacity. In T. Gullotta & M. Bloom (Eds.), Encyclopedia of primary
prevention and health promotion (pp. 319-331). New York: Plenum.
9. Social Organization: Structure and Process
• Differentiation of structure from process
• Structure pertains to configuration and
composition; interconnecting parts. What do
communities look like?
• Process involves operations and methods of
working; courses of action, functions. What do
communities actually do?
10. Social Organization: Social Capital
• Information, reciprocity, and trust
• Aggregate of resources (information,
opportunities, and instrumental support)
• Arise from reciprocal social
relationships
• Results from participation in formal and
informal settings
• Social capital observed in actions of civic
groups, faith communities, and any
number of community-based groups
• Increases odds of achieving results
otherwise not attained
11. Social Organization: Community Capacity
• Shared responsibility
• For general welfare of the community and its
individual members
• Sentiments
• Collective competence
• Taking collective action, confronting situations
• Assumptions
• Concern directed at community as a whole and at
particular elements, action is beyond expression of
positive sentiments, action is proactive and
reactive, action targeted at threats and at
normative situations
12. Informal Networks and Formal Systems*
• Primary ways through which community life is enacted
• Informal networks comprise web of relationships with
friends, neighbors, work associates
• Formal systems associated with agencies and organizations
• Voluntary and obligatory relationships
*Mancini, J.A., & Bowen, G.L. (2009). Community resilience: A social organizational theory of action and
change. In J. Mancini & K. Roberto (Eds.), Pathways of human development: Explorations of change.
Lanham, MD: Lexington.
13. Functions of Informal Networks*
• Emotional (to deal with despair and worry)
• Instrumental (to accomplish practical tasks)
• Informational (to achieve better decisions)
• Companionate (to spend time in a context for support)
• Validation (to support feeling worthwhile, competent, and hopeful)
Contributes the power of interpersonal relationships
to the mix
*Cohen, S., Underwood, L.G., & Gottlieb, B.H. (2000). Social support measurement and intervention:
A guide for health and social scientists. NY: Oxford.

14. What Relationships Provide
• Attachment: feelings of intimacy, peace, and security as found in
relationships with spouses and very close friends
• Social integration: a sense of belonging to a group with whom one shares
common interests and social activities
• Reliable alliance: knowing that one can count on receiving assistance in
times of need, a function often provided by kin
• Guidance: having relationships with persons who can provide knowledge,
advice, and expertise
• Reassurance of worth: a sense of competence and esteem obtained
typically from work colleagues
• Opportunity for nurturance: being responsible for the care of others, such
as one’s children
(Weiss, 1974; Russell & Cutrona, 1984; Mancini & Blieszner, 1992)
15. Significance of Formal Systems
• Mission of providing support programs and services
• Are stronger when they are diverse and comprehensive, when outreach
is a primary activity, and when specific formal support entities
collaborate (solving “silo”-related problems)
• Key role in supporting informal networks
• Contributes specialized expertise to the community resilience mix
16. Intersection of Informal & Formal Networks
• First-order effects occur within a homogeneous network, such as in a single agency
or among friends. Efforts to deal with an issue or problem are contained within the
single network. Putnam (2000) discusses the idea of “bonding” that occurs within a
network, and its importance for enacting change.
• Second-order effects occur among similar networks, such as between a family
service agency and a community health center, or among contiguous neighborhoods.
• Third-order effects are derived from dissimilar networks, such as partnerships
between community agencies and neighborhood groups, which expand Putnam’s idea of
“bridging” from the individual to the community level. When there is agreement across
disparate groups about desired community change, the resource base for mobilizing a
community dramatically increases, as well as the probability for buffering challenge or
adversity and for achieving desired community results.
18. Intersection of Informal & Formal Networks*
• When dissimilar networks focus on common issues, the odds increase of making
positive differences in communities. It is within these networks that social
capital develops and that community capacity evolves. In other words, networks
provide the framework for social action because it is through networks that
community members develop relationships and feel connected to one another.
• The optimal configuration and intersection of networks for achieving
community resilience likely vary depending on the combination of adversities
and challenges that the community faces. In some cases, formal networks may
need to assume greater leadership and involvement than at other times. In other
cases, informal networks may need to be mobilized and activated.

and families (pp. 161-174). NJ: Erlbaum Publishers.
