Imagine that you grow up in a small town, the population is 700 people, and one morning you wake up and everyone in the town is dead. On any given day 670 people die of sudden cardiac arrest. Could it be a loved one, someone you care deeply for, or just a complete stranger? The chances are that someone in your family is going to die of sudden cardiac arrest in your lifetime. On average it takes an ambulance no less than seven minutes to reach someone in need, therefore, every adult should know how to administer CPR.

Another part of what the Red Cross is involved in is their Health and Safety Services.

People such as our first responders, educators, baby sitters, and even people who just want to be prepared for any emergency that may arise are able to take these wonderful

An important aspect involved in critical appraisal of a study involves identifying and evaluating the study framework.

When you set your goals, you should consider your baseline and the resources available to you as a community.

Preferably the project would like you to work toward achieving a score of 4.

Red Cross has prepared people to save lives through health and safety education training for almost fifty years. Red Cross provides classes and guidelines for lifeguarding. Not only does lifeguarding save lives but it also helps financially by providing jobs for thousands around the country. Thanks to Red Cross, paramedics across the country are saving lives and also making a living. All of these paramedics and lifeguards with kids wouldn’t be able to go to work if it weren’t for the Red Cross’s babysitters training. The training prepares people to lead a safer and healthier life for young ones. Nearly 11 million people enrolled in American Red Cross health and safety courses last year.

The training to become a community paramedic includes 114 didactic hours and 196 clinical hours (Emerging Health Professions). The economic cost of sending current paramedics through this extra training would be minimal and would provide an economic benefit to the community. These paramedics would “increase access to primary and preventive care and decrease use of emergency departments, which in turn decreases health care costs” (Emerging Health Professions). Most of the available treatments and interventions preformed at an emergency room are also done in ambulances (See Table 2).

This paper serves as an overview and reflection of the community assessment assignment process for the Chinatown presentation team with the community issue of gentrification. There will be an analysis of the team’s performance in regards to strengths and opportunities for growth as well as an outlining how roles and responsibilities were formed including collaboration and communication. Further, since our group presented last, there is an inclusion of the positive aspects of our colleague’s presentations and some suggestions for revision if we were to present again. Additionally, there is personal analysis of my role within the team, areas of personal opportunity for growth, and my role within our group. The end of the reflection paper provides an opportunity for potential application of skills in future social work practice and how I will use the principles of community assessment in future practice. Overall, the process of collaborating with colleagues and the intricacies of assessing a community have prepared me for micro and macro level social work practice in communities of any size.
