Social Services and Child elfare in New Jersey
The history of social services has its successes of children who as a result of child welfare intervention are removed from the grip of their abusers and find loving and nurturing homes. These are cases few and far between when one weighs them against those children who are moved from one foster care situation or group home to another. Then there are those who are moved into situations of greater detriment, the likes of which we know from Lisa Steinberg and Faheem illiams, most notably. The severity of these situations frustrates anyone who has taken an oath to protect or to serve a specific population.

For police officers and firefighters this oath is inclusive of the general population; for social workers, however, this oath narrows to children under the age of 18, those who are considered minors in the eyes of the law. Child….

Coffee-Town Problem
Human Service Plan

Coffee-Town is an area with great social service professionals that do a great job of service delivery to help the people of the community. However, even with the great performance there are some shortfalls and shortcomings that are under way whereby people are unable to get the full depth and breadth of the services that they need. In addition, the bureaucracy of all of the different social services and how they do (or do not) fit together is creating a headache and a substantial amount of time spent to get each of the individual services. To ameliorate this condition, there will be suggestions made to absolve the problem in addition to some other suggestions and pointers that will aid the overall progress. While there are challenges that can inhibit changing the status quo for the people that need services and the people that deliver them, these conditions….

Communications Project Portfolio for a Veterans Day Stand Down
During the Vietnam war, a stand down command meant that troops were allowed a period of rest following offensive hostilities. More recently, the stand down command has been applied to annual events in many American cities that are designed to help homeless veterans and other veterans in need of social services. Although tens of thousands of veterans remain homeless across the country today, their numbers have declined in recent years due in large part to these community-level stand-down events. To further these laudable objectives, this paper provides a situational analysis of five new communications that can be used to promote an operation stand-down event in a typical American city, followed by a discussion concerning lessons learned in this module and their applicability to real-world situations. Finally, a summary of the research and important findings concerning the foregoing issues are provided in the….

Social Services Entity
Social work is a demanding field that warrants a closer examination as to the effectiveness of the social workers in the Child Protective Services Agency. With increased caseloads, social workers may not meet the needs of its constituents. Furthermore, decision-making and judgment may be impaired due to the associated level of stress experienced.

In the field of social work, the goal is to make a difference in the lives of others. Over the last several years, the advocacy role of social workers has increased, thus creating additional stress and conflicting priorities. In part, society has placed a great deal of demands on this role. Hence, one must wonder as to the effectiveness of such a demanding roles. From helping others to manage their daily lives, understanding and adapting to illness, disability, and death, and obtaining social services, such as health care, government assistance, and legal aid, such a….

Children's Institute International (CII) is a private non-profit organization that improves the lives of Los Angeles' most vulnerable children by helping them directly and by strengthening the families and the communities in which they live. The organization is an equal opportunity employer and, therefore, race is not a factor that has any role to play in either recruitment or career planning. ace is also not an eligibility criterion for the organization's service programs that include the key areas of child and family assessment, sexual abuse treatment, domestic violence intervention, family treatment services, therapeutic day care, and long-term foster family care. Thus, it is evident that race has no role to play in CII.

In fact, since CII's objective is to serve families and children all over Los Angeles country, its programs and services do not even specifically target a particular racial or ethnic population.….

She was not afraid to share personal experiences, within levels of appropriate professional conduct. For example, when one Hispanic family with a son with a visual impairment expressed their frustration with dealing with their son's doctors, she took a special interest in their case. She referred them to appropriate agencies that could provide them with resources to deal with their son's condition and she also stressed the need to be an advocate within the school and medical systems. Ask questions, don't be afraid to repeat something if it isn't clear -- don't be ashamed if your English is not perfect, she counseled. She was sensitive enough to suggest when Hispanic families might need a translator, when dealing with legal or school administrators, if she knew that she or another Spanish-speaker would not be present during a meeting.

Divorce is often a messy emotional as well as legal matter, and divorced women were often uncertain about the amount of time and energy they wanted to devote to securing child support payments. Women who had separated from abusive spouses were also uncertain as to how much time and energy they wished to devote to a relationship they wanted to forget, regardless of the possibilities of financial remuneration. Recent immigrants brought different cultural assumptions to the correct roles of different parents. Some women felt that they had failed as parents, because they were no longer living with their child's father. In the Hispanic community that made up much of the supervisor's work, very often women blamed themselves for their children's and their problems making ends 'meet.' They felt that their main role in life was to be a good mother, and if their lives did not live up to….

Effectiveness audit: The Department of Health and Human Services

Organization to be analyzed

The Department of Health and Human Services is the umbrella organization within the U.S. government devoted to improving the welfare of citizens through various wellness promotional efforts. Its website proclaims that "the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the United States government's principal agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves" (About, 2013, HHS). The HHS focus is on the 'human' dimension of healthcare. This means that it has made a commitment to partnering with state and local offices to promote various health initiatives, such as disease containment and preventative medicine. This ensures that health needs can be met in an individualized manner, given that different groups and people have different health needs over their respective….

Applying Theories to egional Level Challenges
ural New Mexico

Challenge: Social services delivery and access in rural regions

Nearly 20% of welfare recipients live outside of large metropolitan areas and are a critically underserved population (WKKF, 2004). The regional level challenges of working in rural and remote areas like those in New Mexico are both similar and different to the challenges of meeting social services needs in urban areas. The most important difference between rural versus urban service delivery is geographic and transportation constraints. Surveys of rural regions in New Mexico show that there are insufficient service access points for almost every aspect of social welfare including child care and public assistance (WKKF, 2004). Therefore, addressing these needs using a combination of public policy, planning, and technology implementation is important.

Moreover, the costs for rural social services are in most cases greater than they are in urban centers because of the additional costs associated….

Partners for a Healthy Baby thru the Success in School Program

The new program entitled Partners for a Healthy Baby will be administered through the Department of Social Services of Wilson, NC's Success in School Program. Success in Schools is designed to help at-risk pregnant teen mothers navigate their responsibilities to their new babies and to school to ensure that they graduate. Partners for a Healthy Baby is specifically designed to address the physical and medical challenges teens often face as well as the fact that babies born to pregnant teens often face more significant medical risks than those born to women in their twenties partially (although not exclusively) due to a lack of prenatal care.

For example, one reason teenage mothers are at higher risk during their pregnancy is their greater likelihood of developing high blood pressure "called pregnancy-induced hypertension" ("Teenage pregnancy," 2015).….

client that Martiza is concerned about. The woman in question needs building of parenting skills as well as self-efficacy skills. There will be two one-on-one sessions per week over a period of six months. Maritza desires to employ a single system research design so as to evaluate the effectiveness of this possible intervention before the intervention kicks off. While Martiza has her work cut out for her, she can and should be able to pull off good results so long as the person being intervened with is cooperative and wants to improve their life and self-image.
The best overall research plan is to use results-based intervention, and that takes on two overall forms. First, one should look at the results that happen as the intervention goes on. No intervention or plan can be used in a cookie-fashion as no two situations are entirely alike. As such, regardless of what is….

Creativity, diversity and innovation define the health and wealth of a nation, a nation is of course not a single unit. It comprises of people of different races, the ideologies, the industries, companies and organizations which are run by intelligent people. In today's globalized world, the word nation has been deconstructed and internationalism is now a new nationalism. The mixing of races, ethnic groups, and nationalities at home and abroad is at a record level. In a world where technology has brought the people of far cultures to a global village, where individuals, organizations and entire countries draw strength and personality from places as near as their local neighborhood and as far away as a distant continent,….

Social Work
Under the California Child Abuse and Neglect eporting Law, counselors, teachers, and other professionals are legally obliged to report suspected abuse or neglect. The legal obligation to report instances of child abuse or neglect to a local, state or federal social services agency is generally a good idea because it ensures reporting by teachers, counselors, and others who are in contact with the child. It is assumed that mandatory reporting means immediate and beneficial intervention. The reality is more complicated than this. Alerting child protective services can have unwanted detrimental effects on the child. As Lough (n.d.) points out, "nagging doubts about how the person suspected of abusing a child will react, what the outcome will be, and whether or not the report will put the child at greater risk" are what make the mandatory reporting laws controversial.

Theoretically, with a legal obligation, the individual is more motivated to report.….

Mrs. Nancy Cannon telephoned from her place of work ( the Capital nsurance Company -- phone [HDDEN] She sounded concerned. She said that on the previ-ous Saturday night, her 14-year-old daughter Amy had come home after her 9: 00 p. m. curfew, smelling of alcohol.

The most important thing about writing a persuasive essay is that you are not simply presenting information; you are trying to convince the reader to agree with your position.  It is also not an argumentative essay.  In a persuasive essay, it is not only permissible to use opinions and emotion, but in an argumentative essay the writer needs to rely solely on logic.  The idea that secondary or high school students should be required to do community service as a condition for graduation is one that many people have discussed.  People give many different reasons....

Trauma refers to any deeply distressing or disturbing event.  Trauma takes many shapes, from intentional abuse to unavoidable traumas like the death of a loved one.  Trauma can have long-lasting effects including impacts on both physical health and mental health.  Because of the differences in personality acquisition and perceived and real differences in helplessness and power, one might anticipate that trauma would impact children differently than it impacts young people. 

For example, children who experience trauma are more likely to experience learning problems.  Kids experiencing trauma may have lower grades and behavior problems in....
