Final Program Summary Hsm 270

Domestic violence is a universal problem that can affect an individual of any age, gender, race, education level, social class, or culture. This type of violence is considered to be one of the most widespread public health crises in the United States (Black et al., 2011). The purpose of this essay is to create a plan for a program that addresses domestic violence-related crime in West Virginia. To begin, significant information in relation to domestic violence will be provided. This will be followed by the program plan, which will include seven steps: an analysis of the problem, identification of goals and objectives, development of a program design, development of an action plan, development of a plan to monitor program effectiveness,

My personal goals are centered on healing. In this world of decreasing resources and increasing and ever diverse populations, there are unmet needs, confusions, and misunderstandings—the very stuff of conflicts and wars. It has been my experience and observation that what the world (and especially me) needs most is a transformation that involves healing, which I believe can lead to a greater measure of peace. That is to say, I have come from a heritage that is troubled with addictions and the abuse and generational cycles of violence that so often accompany addictions. However, I am a survivor, and I continually strive to go forward healing from this past. In time, I came to acknowledge my need for skills in conflict transformation and peace

The Duluth model helps the community to get involve to ending violence against women and their children. This program allows women to have a voice and keep them safe that experience battering from their partner. This program offers a nonviolence course to help abusive men to learn about domestic violence. The Duluth model help agencies from 911 to the court to work together for women that are a victim of violence, by creating policies. Accordingly to research, using a Duluth Model 68% of offenders said nonviolence courses for abused men do not return to the system in eight years. This means the Duluth model is a significant program.

Program planning is a process to achieve a particular goal and/or mission. Program planning is an organized process through which a set of coordinated activities or interventions is developed to address and facilitate change in some or all of the identified problems. Program evaluation provides useful information for improving the programs and the service delivery systems. Program evaluation is to improve the program planning, effectiveness, design, and efficiency. The two are different processes, but ideally they hold the same goals and/or mission. The evaluation process takes place after the planning of a

The stakeholders for PEACE start with the administration and staff of the agency who put themselves on the line taking care of their clients and looking for sources of funding to make sure things are taken care of. Staff and administration need to have their physical and mental needs taken care of and provided for so they can then provide for the community. This may mean more staff need to be trained and employed to keep everyone at the top of their game or the spaces available for clients needs to be cut so staff do not find themselves over-taxed. Domestic abuse is a very serious thing and it cannot be taken lightly by anyone. One false step – be it a forgotten case notebook, a less-than-attentive staff member, or what have you – can severely endanger the clients. It is imperative that the clients are put into the hands of fully educated, completely able staff.

When an organization starts to make decision about the programs it will offer they have to start thinking about the processes and outcomes they want to use and achieve through their program. They need to find the best ways to run their program that follows their mission and produces outcomes that help support that same mission. Process and outcome evaluations in a human service setting help the organization to better understand the outcomes of their programs and the processes in which the outcomes came. (Yuen, Terao, 2003) This paper will walk you through an explanation and outline of a process and outcome evaluation plan for the PEACE Domestic Violence Agency. This process and outcome evaluation plan would be helpful in the organizations

Domestic Violence is a critical issue negatively impacting women in the world today. There has to be something done to prevent this type of abuse from happening. The results of my research revealed that there are many victims that do not know the type of help that is available and there needs to be major improvement in the way domestic violence cases are handled. Based on my findings, awareness and prevention programs should be implemented in every state in order prevent this type of abuse from happening over and over. Also, each program must be monitored to ensure they are following the proper guidelines in order to better serve the victims and their families.

Program Evaluation   There are many different types of evaluations and reasons to conduct program evaluations. For example, cost/benefit analysis, assessment needs, effectiveness, and outcomes. Program evaluations is a complex but an integral component of a nursing program. Also, program evaluations is an ongoing process of collecting and describing data which provides the basis for decision making. Specifically, evaluation data can be used to prepare for accreditation visits, develop faculty and staff, examine the planned and actual

Program planning is the implementation of evaluation process. It is the groundwork where priorities are decided and the results are analyzed on a measurable scale.

Program-centred Administrative Consultation goal is the development of an action plan that can be implemented by the consultant or associates to resolve the administrative problem

The agency capacity and project management section of the proposal is used to show the capabilities of the organization and its members to do what the proposal says they will do if funding is provided to them. The budget justification is the last section in the grant proposal writing, it is a financial plan that will show how much funding is necessary to start a program and how the funds will be allocated. The essential elements to a program plan are: goals, objectives, activities, and evaluations. Identifying who the program will assist (target population); when and how long the program will be implemented; where will the program be set up to allow the target population easy access; what will be needed to ensure the program achieves it goals; how will services be provided, cost, and become self sufficient.

In this experiment the Domestic Violence Reduction Unit had two goals one of which was increasing the sanctions for batterers and to empower victims. The second goal required the victim to have access to the community and the criminal justice system. The researchers wanted to find if the prosecution rate increased for the batterers then there would be a reduce in domestic violence. The research was double blind randomized design in order to assign cases to the Domestic Violence Reduction Unit the treatment group or to the control group. Those who were in the treatment group sought assistance from the criminal justice system more than those in the control group. The treatment group saw that victims were more likely to request batterer release

It is important for program managers and decision makers to know if their program is accomplishing its founding purpose. To provide that insight and aid in decisions about a current or proposed course of action, a program evaluation can be a very critical tool to determine how well a program is working and what impact it is having on the problem it is attempting to address. With that said, how are intended users and beneficiaries of an evaluation supposed to know if the evaluation they have been given is a good product, with enough substance to guide them in making critical decisions that will affect the livelihood of program workers, the wellbeing of program participants, and influence the use of the limited resources available to address

The program I decided to focus on for part 3 of this essay is the Family Renewal Shelter, located in Tacoma, WA. They assist victims of domestic violence in different ways and offer a wide variety of helpful services. The clients that get assisted by this program include, men, women, children, and teens.

The purpose of the evaluation is to make sure that our program as a whole is on the track to success. We want to evaluate our current problems as well as future problems we may have and see if we can solve them now rather than later. We want to make sure that our entire program is on a steady path and that we will not be blindsided by any issues that may arise. Our program rationale is a key component to developing our program as we want our goals and objectives to be clear as well as how we will identify the needs of the community that need to be met.
