This document discusses a proposal to address youth violence in Seattle through a Young Father's Coalition program. It provides background on the issue of youth violence, noting statistics on youth homicides nationally and that Seattle programs tend to focus on intervention rather than prevention. Research involved interviews that highlighted the need to support families and strengthen communities. The proposed Young Father's Coalition program would involve meetings for fathers ages 15-25 to help end cycles of violence by creating positive role models. It recommends partnering with organizations and allocating $25,000 per year from the Youth Violence Prevention Initiative budget to fund the program.

This presentation discusses the impacts of social networking on various fields such as business, education, politics, society, and youngsters. It outlines both positive and negative impacts. Some positive impacts include social networks helping business with promotion, education with sharing knowledge, and youngsters with worldwide communication. However, social networks can also negatively impact business through hacking, education by reducing focus on learning, politics by spreading fake news, society through privacy issues and family relationships, and youngsters' health and connection to reality. The presentation concludes by emphasizing the need to use social networks carefully and limit time spent to reduce problems while harnessing benefits.
The document discusses issues with the current juvenile justice system in Arkansas and advocates for more community-based programs and services for at-risk youth as alternatives to incarceration. It notes that most youth who commit crimes desist from criminal behavior as they mature and that community programs have success rates over 90% in preventing recidivism. The costs of incarcerating one youth is over $131,000 annually whereas community programs save taxpayers millions by preventing children from lives of crime. It highlights real cases of youth helped by community support instead of incarceration.

Spiral of Silence: Caregiving, Stress and its Impact in the Workplace Christopher MacLellan
This document discusses the impact of caregiving stress on working family caregivers and proposes that Elizabeth Noelle-Neumann's "spiral of silence" theory helps explain why caregivers do not self-identify at work due to fear. A study of 104 caregivers found that most experienced caregiving stress impacting their work and that some contemplated quitting or had hours cut due to care responsibilities. The economic impact of lost wages and benefits for family caregivers in the US is estimated to be over $300 billion. The document proposes forming a South Florida Caregiving Coalition to create awareness and advocate for issues facing caregivers and employers through collective action.
The survey results summarize feedback from NGO representatives who participated in an event organized by Petrom, as well as feedback from Petrom employees. Regarding the NGO participants: most felt the event was useful, though over half were dissatisfied with participation; lack of funding and support from the government were major issues. For Petrom employees: most felt the event was useful but did not participate due to already redirecting taxes; few had volunteered for or financially supported NGOs previously.

Stress is defined as an unpleasant psychological process that occurs in response to environmental pressures. The document discusses the main sources of stress, which survey data shows is most people's jobs. It identifies potential stressors such as economic/political uncertainty, task demands at work, and family/personal issues. The consequences of prolonged stress are physiological, psychological and behavioral symptoms.
This document discusses ethics and informal controls in media industries. It outlines several ethical principles and models for individual ethical decision making. It then examines the ethical codes and standards established by various media industries and organizations, including those for print, broadcasting, motion pictures, advertising, and newspapers/magazines. The document also notes some informal controls on media industries, such as economics, pressure groups, education, and self-criticism within the media.
The document discusses the author's concept paper idea to address the overrepresentation of African American families and children in the child welfare system. Specifically, the author proposes creating a legal aid service and policy advocacy program housed within the existing Black Family Development organization. The legal aid program would provide free legal representation for low-income clients in child welfare cases, while the advocacy program would include policy analysts and lobbyists focused on child welfare issues. The author argues this idea aligns with Black Family Development's mission and would fill a need, as few similar programs currently exist in Wayne County.

The document discusses using social media for social good. It outlines how social media allows those in need to efficiently collect funds and band together, provides examples of initiatives like Freerice.com that have helped feed millions, and discusses how social good is good for business by helping to build trust and responsible marketing. Social networking tools like Twitter are potent ways for companies to gain trust through social responsibility.
The document discusses the challenges facing the Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). It notes high turnover in management, a backlog of investigations, and issues with placement assessments. This has led to instability and an inability to address long-standing problems or implement strategic plans. The case involves "Tina", an 18-year-old aging out of foster care after many placements. Her social worker, Ms. Brown, faces an ethical dilemma in terminating services as required but knowing Tina is unprepared. The alternatives are to not terminate and violate policy, terminate but request benefits under AB 12, terminate with supportive transition assistance, or terminate with the consequences unclear. Choosing supportive transition assistance respects Tina's autonomy

A women secure mobile app for emergency usage (go safe app)eSAT Journals
Abstract Many unfortunate incidents have been taking place . Problems may come from any direction such as walking on the road after the
work, going to super market or many other reasons for which they go alone. People at home are not sure of their return safely. In
order to overcome such problems the GO SAFE (security app) mobile based application is not only necessary to use but also
plays a pivotal role with android software. The usage of smart phones equipped with GPS navigation unit have increased rapidly.
The “GO SAFE” application is mainly developed to safeguard. By clicking on the buttons (power & volume button) alert message
is sent. Application communicates the user’s location to the registered contacts in the form of message. Thus, it acts like a sentinel
following behind the person till the user feels she is safe. Also, the registered contacts and GPS location are saved from time to
time in a database.
