The Human Services Organization: A Case Study

My treatment plan for Griselda was designed to help her achieve self-awareness and self-acceptance. Hopefully by using these tools coupled with a support group she will

Collaboration between programs and advocates can help ensure that victims are aware of all of the options that are available to them. For example, in the area around Fresno State, Marjaree Mason Center, a shelter for abused women, refers women to the Living Room, a center where community members can get tested for HIV/AIDS, and vise versa. With these two programs working together, victims can get the help that they need. Inclusion policy can also provide a way for organizations to work together for the interest of others as they work together with a set of shared understanding (Muscat, 2015). Many victims are not aware of the vast resources available to them. It is essential that programs, organizations, and other institutions exist to inform victims of the rights that they have so that they can overcome their struggles. In another example, the Coalition of Victim Attorneys and Consultants helps victims that want to pursue civil lawsuits (Muscat, 2015). This nationwide service can help victims find quality attorneys so that they can get the best settlement offer possible. Compensation can lift a large burden off of victim’s financial struggle to

The human services organization in this proposal is Sudbury Male Sexual Assault/Sexual Abuse Counselling and Crisis Centre. The mandate of the organization is to provide services to men of eighteen years of age or more that have experienced or are suffering from mental, physical or sexual abuse. Because males have a tendency of feeling, the abuse was their fault, that they have no support system and people will not believe their story, they are less likely to report their incidents (McDonald & Tijerino, 2013). With that being said this organization will also act as a safe haven, in the form of a shelter for men that are worried about their safety. It will give them support to strive for personal growth, it will teach them necessary skills to overcome their current situation and will promote community health by educating the community about male abuse and the services available for victims. Throughout the proposal, there will be four main topics discussed; these include principles for practice, organization behavior and administration, program accountability as well as intra/inter-organizational relations.

The current workforce structure at Kentucky River Foothills Development Council, Inc (KRFDC) consists of more than 250 employees, and they represent a highly skilled professional team. The team includes program developers, teachers, administrators, social workers, counselors, coaches, drivers, coordinators, health care providers, and a volunteer corporate board of directors, which is guided by the Executive Director, Vicki Jozefowicz (Kentucky River Foothills Development Council, Inc, 2014, pp. 3-4).

As an adolescent the client was sexually abused. This traumatic event had a negative impact on the client’s self esteem and instilled a sense of mistrust in others. The client’s lack

The organization is supported by a Board of Directors that have experienced in this field. Beside this individuals, the organization has around 200 volunteers coming together to work towards the same goal of helping those in need. Most are care providers, however, they also have people that provide security, assist our clients with benefits enrollment, raise

Very good point regarding change especially regarding a human service agency. As you mentioned most employees are not a part of the planning process therefore are resistant to change. Furthermore in my current agency change happens so frequently and without notice people are frustrated by the process. Also our book stated strategic planning can be seen as a response to both the threats and the opportunities within the task environment (Weinbach & Taylor, 2015). Therefore not only sustaining change as the you mention however having to continue to change directions without fully understanding and implementing the plans or task already in place can cause further confusion. Although strategic planning is supposed to be positive approach and a

On several occasions, women would begin describing their family life. The vivid images they described of being physically and emotionally abused was heartbreaking. As a sympathetic teenager, I listened to their stories and was lost for words frequently. I felt guilty just sitting in my seat, not acting to alleviate their pain. However, I did not know what to say or do to improve their lives. It appeared that they were searching for anyone who would listen to their struggle and I happened to be that outlet for them. At the conclusion of the registration process, those specific individuals who described to me their situations were the most grateful for our help. I pray that their style of life improves and the toxic relationships no longer

Abuse is a topic that should be discussed without discrimination. Due to the fact that, if the sexual abuse victims or survivals are not able to open up and discuss the situation to anyone, without discrimination the victims are more likely to develop long lasting psychological disorder quickly. This psychological disorder may include: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSTD), Panic attack, Personality disorder, Multiple Personality Disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) or anxiety disorder. Here is research to back on the above statement; “M is a 5 year old girl presenting with symptoms of fear, frequent nightmares, irritability, and decreased sleep following penetrative sexual abuse by a relative. The perpetrator was arrested and the

On the contrary, study (B) collected the information through short paper surveys which were available to women victims of sexual assault. The surveys were offered in four different women centers in Massachusetts. The requisites to participate in the survey were that the women had to be at least 18 years old and victims of sexual abuse (Kalmakis & Banning, 2012).

Sexual abuse to children happens across every socioeconomic status, ethnic, cultural, religion and education. Getting treatment for a victim of child sexual abuse is a difficult process because of the lack of trust by the child. When child sexual abuse occurs the victim’s family has a difficult time talking about the abuse, which leads to the family pretending the abuse never happened. Once the family

Many human services leaders have organized and delivered services to reduce fragmentation of services and provide holistic, consumer-centric services in many different ways. These innovations have said to improve the results for clients. In one effort to coordinate systems better, some human services systems have developed the idea of combining many different types of agencies into one. This allows consumers to access multiple services in one location. One important perquisite for providing a more consumer-centric delivery is to bridge and integrate service silos. This will not only eliminate existing barriers to information sharing, but also improve the coordination of service delivery.

They influence a program plan in many ways. They are the ones who formulate the program plan and run the program itself. If the agency cannot afford an outsider to evaluate the program, the administrator will appoint a staff member to do an evaluation. The administrator makes sure the staff is doing their job and the staff influences the programs and services that are provided. They influence the process of the program and the outcome of the program. The administrator and staff’s influence on a program is critical in a program plan. They determine whether a program stays up and running or needs to be shut down.

Families who are currently undergoing investigation or have been investigated within the past year for child maltreatment in Pennsylvania will be asked to participate in the study. Each person will be informed that participation is voluntary and informed consent will be collected at sign-up by the researchers. The ideal sample size for this study would be 100 families chosen at random from a list of possible volunteers. The sampling frame is families undergoing investigation for child maltreatment. The inclusion criteria for the study is that the participants are being/have been investigated for child maltreatment within the past year and are experiencing housing instability. The exclusion criteria would include failure to partake in quarterly interviews and observations. No one will be excluded from this study based on gender, race, religion, and/or sexual orientation.

The purpose of this study is to develop a child sexual abuse treatment program is to create awareness among overall community members towards child rights protection and child safety. It plans to implement this program in the schools of the county of Florida; Okeechobee.
