Family Education Program Analysis

The purpose of this paper is to incorporate one family's experience of living with multiple chronic illnesses into the Calgary Family Assessment Model (CFAM) and Rolland's Chronic Health Challenge Framework. CFAM was developed by Dr. Lorraine M. Wright, a professor Emeritus of nursing and by Dr. Maureen Leahey, a manager of a mental health outpatient program both have over 25 years experience while still managing to supervise, teach, consult, write, and maintain a part-time clinical practice in individual, couple, and family therapy (Moxie, 2007). CFAM allows nurses to assess families during interviews. CFAM is a multidimensional framework consisting of three major categories: structural, dimensional and functional. (Wright & Leahey, 2005)

Most American’s have grown up with this idea of what a family is supposed to be, how it is structured and how it functions. Throughout time the idea’s have changed and evolved but the ideal “American family” is generally the same. A father, mother, a little boy and girl who live in the suburban’s with the white picket fence. There is this idea that the earlier American family was perfect, or near it. Every person in the family had their place and did their duties. Few toed the line and families stuck together no matter what. That may have been more accurate at a time, but the reason is far from just the idea that times where easier. Families stuck together because of strong religious prohibitions and community norms. This was a time where

1. Describe two specific strategies that you would use in your own childhood care and education program for each of Epstein’s six types of family involvement. (10 points). One of the strategies I would use in my own childhood care/education program is to make each student feel safe and welcome. This

Dear United States Department of Education, I’m currently a new student at Highline community college who is trying to keep up with the fast pace and pressure of college. I want to be successful and pass all my classes with good grades but, I know I can’t do it all on my own. All the resources we have available to us as students are very helpful such as tutors, counselors, and financial aid advisers and I intend to take full advantage of all the resources available to me. It’s very important to me that I pass my classes because I am paying out of pocket, unlike most students who are on financial aid, or scholarships. It’s my first time being back in school since I dropped out of high school 2 years ago so I am facing many challenges

Family-Centered Practice influences my practice with child welfare involved with families because the main focuses is on children’s safety and needs. For example, when Ms. Martinez agreed to participate in an AODA assessment meaning that she was going to entered a program in order for her to say clean.

As stated earlier in this section, depression in elementary aged students can be difficult to pick up on. Since this is the case, advocacy for these students becomes paramount. Along the same lines as treatment, the best plan for advocating for these students is to take a preventative approach. Another way to advocate is to get the parents involved. In a section talking about anxiety Huberty (2012) stated that including a family intervention was more effective for children 7-10. Now, it is important to state that this finding was concerning anxiety and not depression. However, the family intervention was part of a CBT intervention, which, Huberty (2012) argues is a well-supported method for treating both anxiety and depression.

Family and Consumer Sciences Education has tremendously evolved since its beginning roots with Ellen Swallow Richards. FCS has obtained a new role within public schools and the community, far different than it was before. What was previously seen as the classes for "women" is now a requirement for high school graduation plans. The positive societal views on Family and Consumer Sciences is increasing the execution in the furthering of this program. The following analyzes and examines the Family and Consumer Sciences curriculum that is currently being implemented into Texas public schools.

Family assessment This paper will discuss the Universal Self-Care Requisites, Developmental Self-Care Requisites, and Health Deviation Self-Care Requisites of assessed family according to Orem's Self-Care deficit theory.

My family life educator curriculum is for single parents and will have inputs and outputs. One input that will be necessary is money. The output of money will be to develop curriculum, train staff, deliver services, and conduct workshops. Once service is providing childcare for the parents when they attend a workshop. I would like to provide free childcare for all the single parents as financial constraints could keep them from attending if free childcare was not offered. This would increase participation. Another service is to offer both the single parents and their children a free meal during the workshop. Single parents already care for all the responsibilities around the home, including cooking all the meals. So offering a free meal would be an extra incentive for single parents to have a break from their daily routine.

Overall, I believe I performed to a high standard throughout my undergraduate career. During my time at University of Maryland, Baltimore County, I was able to complete my undergraduate degree in eight semesters, including an occasional winter and summer term. In these eight semesters, I achieved a 4.0 twice, despite a heavy schedule. For several other semesters, I finished with a GPA greater than a 3.5, and never had a semester below a 3.0. Upon receiving my degree, I was awarded Cum Laude for graduating with a GPA of 3.55. I earned only two C’s in my undergraduate career, one of which was my first semester in college, where I was still learning how to be successful on a college level. I was on a scholarship throughout my undergraduate career, and it required me to keep my semester GPA above a 3.0. This scholarship not only allowed me to pursue higher education, but it also helped mold me to be a hard worker which led to my academic achievements. I feel a great part of my academic success is due to my work ethic and studying habits. I approached my undergraduate education as my main priority or job. I kept all my notes organized by class, in a color coded notebook filled with post it notes on upcoming exams or other important details. I spent countless hours and nights in the library of UMBC, making sure I stayed on top of my studies, and never fell behind with my coursework. My drive to do my best led me to visiting professors during office hours to ask questions and learn

“Family Literacy is about reading and so much more” (“Connecticut Family Literacy Initiative,” n.d.). Because I feel that students will be to relate to this topic, I would use the menu planning, label reading and/or grocery shopping list in the classroom. This can be something that the child’s family would be able to help them with while giving them a literacy activity to work on together. In the class, the students would be able to discuss the foods they buy, the food they eat, and read food labels.

The way I used the Family Impact Analysis was by going through each of the principles to understand their purpose. Once I did that, I went through each of the questions of the principles to fully understand the questions. This helped me with analyzing the Act to the best of
