This week we explore the social-ecological model and the
Swearer and Hymel (2015) article does a nice job of describing
this model as applied to the problem of bullying. In working on
your social change project this week you will be applying the
social-ecological model to the topic you are addressing for your
social change portfolio/project. The levels addressed in the
social-ecological model in this article include individual,
family, peer group, school, and community. Because of this
specific topic, school is an important dimension. However, this
dimension may not apply to your specific social change project
depending on the target population. Thus, if "school" does not
apply then you can simply have individual, family, peer group,
and community. "Peer group" for someone who is not in school
would simply include environments such as work, friends,
social networks, and so forth.
When writing this section, it is really easy to miss key points as
you will be reviewing a lot of literature. It is best
to organize your paper with subheadings such as:
Individual
In one-two paragraphs talk about protective factors.
In one-two paragraphs talk about risk factors.
Family
In one-two paragraphs talk about protective factors
In one-two paragraphs talk about risk factors
etc.
It is also very easy to forget to cite references. Remember to
back up any idea that isn't your own original idea with
references.
Social-Ecological Model
This week you will apply the social-ecological model the
problem you have identified to address in your community.
Applying this model may be new for some of you. Indeed, for

4. many people who are training to be therapists (e.g., clinical
mental health counseling, clinical social work, marriage and
family counseling, clinical psychology, etc.), the training often
has more of a focus simply on the individual and the other
levels according to the social-ecological model are often less
heavily emphasized if at all. This systemic view can really help
contextualize client and community challenges. The article by
Swearer and Hymel (2015) in your course resources this week
clearly demonstrates some important elements of the social-
ecological model and of taking a systemic view of problems to
be addressed. I look forward to reading how the model applies
to the target problem in your community.
Continuum of Care
The continuum of care, posted below, is just a reminder to think
about making your project and goal statement aligned with
"Prevention".
Also, please consult with me via email if you are questioning
whether or not your goal statement falls in the realm of
prevention or not.

6. INTRODUCTIONLack of Resources for Black Community with
Mental Health Problems in Waco, Texas.
In Waco, Texas African Americans experience severe forms of
mental health problems due to unmet needs. African Americans
are more likely to socio-economic disparities that contribute to
worst mental health problems. According to Health and Human
Services office in regard to minority health, the experience of
serious psychological distress is experienced 10% among the
Black community. The resources available in Waco cannot be
accessed by people of color because discrimination is dominant.
Socio-economic play a crucial role in making treatment options
for African Americans less available. 11% of African
Americans in 2017 lacked health insurance in Waco, (CHNA,
2018). There is need to increase resources in Waco for African
Americans with mental health problems.
PART 1: SCOPE AND CONSEQUENCES
Lack of Resources for Black Community with Mental Health

7. Problems in Waco, Texas.
Millions of people are affected by mental illness every year in
the United States. Suicide is reported as the second cause of
deaths in the U.S that are connected to mental health problems
that are not attended to. In 2017, 46.6 million adults which is
18.9% had mental illneses. African Americans affected were
28.6% and whites were 20.4%, (NAMI. (n.d). In 2020, mental
illnesses have spurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its
been overlooked which worsens the mental health position of
Waco and national government generally.
Consequences of mental health issues include; Untreated mental
health impedes an individual’s ability to make healthy
decisions. It can lead to development of diseases and
complications such as high blood pressure, cancer and heart
diseases or complications. The families of people with mental
illneses are likely to strain economically and emotional distress.
Mental illneses impedes an individual’s ability to work
productively and cope with stress appropriately, (Dich, et.al,
2019). The prospects of employment decline are due to mental
health issues in Waco. The national economy is affected as a
result and working age benefit costs are also compromised.
Goal Statement: The black community with mental health
problems in Waco deserve access to mental health care services
through provision of resources to reduce its prevalence in the
community.
PART 2: SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL MODEL
Lack of Resources for Black Community with Mental Health
Problems in Waco, Texas.
Individual factors that impact mental health in this community
include age, education levels where only 80% of adults in Waco
have a high school degree and household income and
unemployment rates are higher in Waco. Relationship with

8. social environment of an individual plays a role in mental
health prevalence in the community, (CDC. (n.d). The
community lacks resources to cater for the needs of African
Americans with mental health issues. Society generally
contributes to the discrimination of the African American in
mental health care because it is rooted in our culture.
PART 3: THEORIES OF PREVENTION
Lack of Resources for Black Community with Mental Health
Problems in Waco, Texas.
Health Belief Model predicts behaviors that are related to
individual health. It can be deployed to conduct a health needs
assessment in the community, to convey the consequences
related to mental health problem, highlight the benefits of
action, and change of behavior through development of skills.
PART 4: DIVERSITY AND ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Lack of Resources for Black Community with Mental Health
Problems in Waco, Texas.
The mental health program should include all diverse cultures
regardless of race or cultural background. The LGBTQ
community will also benefit from the resources of mental health
problem. Informed consent, cultural competence and
confidentiality are the ethical considerations that will be
applied in the treatment of mental health problems among the
African Americans. PART 5: ADVOCACY
Lack of Resources for Black Community with Mental Health
Problems in Waco, Texas.
Advocate for cultural competence in delivery of services in
regard to diverse groups mental healthcare system. Development

9. of a project to increase mental health awareness and provide a
platform to millions of Americans on how and where to find
help. Increase of mental healthcare centers in Waco to reduce
the prevalence of mental health problems.

10. Healing Our Minds, Bodies, and Families
Healing Our Minds, Bodies, and Families
Program Transcript
MICAH GRIFFIN: Greetings. My name is Michael Griffin. I'm a
PhD in Health
Services Candidate and a 2015 Walden University Scholar of
Change. Research
supports the need for focus initiatives, targeting the minority
population. And as a
scholar practitioner and community organizer, I strive to
provide solutions that
encourage healthy behaviors, promote academic advancement,
and support
positive fatherly involvement.

11. These three components can have a dramatic impact on the
overall wellness of
an individual. That's why, in 2014, I combined my desire to
make a difference
and my studies in community health to start Heal Our People
Incorporated, a
nonprofit organization designed to improve the overall wellness
of underserved
minorities.
Heal Our People has three campaigns. They seek to address the
dimensions of
wellness by promoting self-sustaining behaviors and teaching
life skills. The Heal
Our Minds campaign hosts educational workshops and college
discussion panels
where we've successively mentored over 100 first-generation
college students.
The Heal Our Bodies campaign is focused on promoting
positive healthy
behaviors. We'll partnership with the YMCA. We have hosted a
minority men's
health fair, which has featured nutrition experts, mental health
providers, and
exercise professionals. The Heal Our Families campaign
encourages positive
fatherly involvement. We hosted an annual men's day luncheon
to recognize the
dedication and commitment of several fathers from the
community.
Through my work as a faculty member at a historically black
college, I serve as a
coordinator for a grant-funded health maintenance program that

12. provides all
freshmen with health screenings and access to a campus-based
certified health
coach. My PhD courses have taught me the value of being
collaborative in
developing healthy initiatives. And through this partnership, we
have successfully
screened over 400 students, as we work to promote and
influence healthy
behaviors among young African-Americans.
Through my studies at Walden University, and my desire to
effect positive social
change, I have successfully developed key initiatives and
improved the lives of
people in my community. And I continuously seek to inspire
young students to
achieve greatness by teaching them that health is wealth.
