Read Case Study 1: Martin

Martin, a behavior analyst, is working with Sara, a 14-year-old girl with severe developmental delays who exhibits self-injurious behavior (SIB). Sara’s target behavior is defined as pulling her hair, biting her arm and banging her head against the wall. After conducting a functional analysis, Martin decided to employ an intervention program consisting of differential reinforcement of other (DRO) desired behavior. Martin collected data on Sara’s SIB before and during the intervention. Below is a depiction of the data that Martin collected:

Sara’s Frequency of SIB

BASELINE Occurrences DRO Occurrences
22 5
25 5
27 3
26 2

 

Address the following questions, and complete the following requirements:

  1. Create a basic line graph using Microsoft Excel, to be included in your Word document. The graph should depict the data provided in this case study. You should only need to create one graph, with SIB depicted, both in baseline and in intervention.
  2. What type of research design did Martin employ when working with Sara? What is an advantage and a disadvantage of using this research design?
  3. According to the data in the graph, was the intervention that Martin selected effective in modifying Sara’s self-injurious behavior?
  4. Martin had considered using an ABAB reversal design when working with Sara. What are some ethical implications of selecting a reversal design when working with the type of behavior problems that Sara was exhibiting?
  5. Martin’s supervisor requested a graph of the data he collected when working with Sara. Why are graphs useful in evaluating behavior change?
  6. Discuss how a graph demonstrates a functional relationship. Identify whether the graph that you created using the data provided in this section depicts a functional relationship.

Colonialism and Neutral Parties

/in /by

Topic: Colonialism and Neutral Parties

 

Question/Prompt: Choose one of the five prompts below on which to discuss.

 

 

 

  1. The Colonialist model is intent on proclaiming the superiority of theology over psychology (nearly to the exclusion of psychology, in some cases). What aspects of the relationship of theology and psychology can you affirm in this model, and what do you think is in need of critique?
  2. The Colonialist model ostensibly recognizes the value of psychology, but it does not typically result in deep engagement with the findings or methods of psychology. How might this be applied to a topic such as eating disorders or depression? What would be some of the advantages and disadvantages of this approach?
  3. Entwistle distinguishes between scriptural authority and theological interpretation. Do you agree? Why might this distinction be important? Support your view with an example.
  4. Why do people who adopt a Neutral Parties model think that we should keep theology out of psychology, and why do their critics contend that it is dangerous to keep theology out of psychology? Which is the stronger position? Use an example to support your view.
  5. The Neutral Parties model is intent on proclaiming the independence of psychology from any ideology, including Christian theology. What about the relationship of theology and psychology can you affirm in this model, and what do you think is in need of critique?

 

At least 500 words in response to the provided prompt. You must support your assertions with at least 3 citations in current APA format. You may use the course textbook Chp 10 Entwistle and Chp 2, 4, 6 Johnson and scholarly articles only and the Bible as sources.

Discussion 1: Policy Analysis and Application

 

According to the NASW Code of Ethics section 6.04 (NASW, 2008), social workers are ethically bound to work for policies that support the healthy development of individuals,  guarantee equal access to services, and promote social and economic justice.

 

For this Discussion, review this week’s resources, including Working with Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Trauma: The Case of Rita. Consider what change you might make to the policies that affect the client in your case. Finally, think about how you might evaluate the success of the policy changes.

 

·      Post  an explanation of one change you might make to the policies that affect the client in the case. Be sure to reference the case you selected in your post.
 

·      Finally, explain how you might evaluate the success of the policy changes.

 

 

Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Working With Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Trauma: The Case of Rita

Rita is a 22-year-old, heterosexual, Latina female working in the hospitality industry at a resort. She is the youngest of five children and lives at home with her parents. Rita has dated in the past but never developed a serious relationship. She is close to her immediate and extended family as well as to her female friends in the Latino community. Although her parents and three of her siblings were born in the Dominican Republic, Rita was born in the United States.

A year ago, Rita was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance of a male coworker. Rita and a female coworker met Juan and Bob after work at a local bar for a light meal and a few drinks. Because Rita had to get up early to work her shift the next day, Bob offered to drive her home. Instead of taking Rita directly home, however, he drove to a desolate spot nearby and assaulted her. Afterward, Bob threatened to harm her family if she did not remain silent and proceeded to drive her home. Although Rita did not tell her family what happened, she did call our agency hotline the next day to discuss her options. Because Rita’s assault occurred within the 5-day window for forensic evidence collection of this kind, Rita consented to activation of the county’s sexual assault response team (SART). Although she agreed to have an advocate and the sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) meet her at the hospital, Rita tearfully stated that she did not want to file a police report at that time because she did not want to upset her family. The nurse examiner interviewed Rita, collected evidence, recorded any injuries, administered antibiotics for possible sexually transmitted infections, and gave Rita emergency contraception in case of pregnancy. The advocate stayed with Rita during the procedure, supporting her and validating her experience, and gave her a referral for individual crisis counseling at our agency.

My treatment goals for Rita included alleviation of rape trauma syndrome symptoms that included shame and self-blame, validation of self-worth and empowerment, and processing how it would feel to disclose to others when the time felt right. In addition, Rita would receive important information regarding state policy and procedure for victims of sexual assault that would assist her in deciding when and how to report the crime if she chose to do so.

My treatment involved crisis intervention and stabilization along with emotional support and validation surrounding her experience. Managing her trauma and acute stress symptoms were key to her recovery. Those symptoms included guilt, shame, emotional shock, powerlessness, anxiety, fear, anger, and doubting her judgment. We processed Rita’s emotional dysregulation and sense of outrage over what happened. Over the weeks that followed, we also explored Rita’s relationship to her immediate and extended family and how they had high expectations for her and her future. Rita’s shame over the assault prevented her from telling her family for fear they would also be shamed and judge her for accepting a ride from someone she did not know well. We discussed the policy for reporting a sexual assault to the police in our state and how Rita only had a 90-day window to report the crime after her forensic evidence was obtained. After 90 days, the forensic kit would be destroyed.

The problem with the current 90-day hold policy in our state for victims like Rita is that a person in crisis experiences strong and conflicting emotions and is faced with an acute sense of disequilibrium and disorientation. This, in turn, affects her or his ability to retain information and make decisions. The person, therefore, has barely enough time to make sense of what happened to her or him, let alone decide what to do about it. The 90-day hold policy may not afford a traumatized victim of sexual assault enough time to make a decision to report to law enforcement.

I utilized a strengths-based model in my treatment with Rita to help her address the decision to report the crime. A strengths-based framework is client-led with a focus on future outcomes and strengths that the client brings to a problem or crisis. It is an effective helping strategy that builds on a person’s resiliency and ego strength. An integrative strengths-based intervention can contribute to the development of a positive outcome for clients in crisis.

I counseled Rita for 6 months. After 5 months, Rita felt strong enough to disclose to her family and file a report with the police. However, because the 90-day window had closed by the time she was stabilized and emotionally ready to file, her forensic evidence was unavailable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Discussion 2: Evaluating Policy Implications

 

When developing, implementing, or revising organizational policies, it is important that all potential consequences be considered. Social workers must be particularly sensitive to any negative consequences or unintentional harm the policies might cause for any individual or group.

 

For this Discussion, review this week’s resources, including the Johnson Family video. Consider the campus’ policies on how sexual assault accusations are addressed. How might the current procedures and policies negatively affect survivors of sexual assault? What changes might you suggest to the campus policies to better protect survivors? Finally, describe how you might evaluate the success of these policy changes.

 

·      Post an identification of how the current campus policies on sexual assault might negatively affect survivors and an explanation of the changes you might make to these policies that would protect sexual assault survivors.
 
·      Be sure to reference the Talia Johnson case in your post.
 

·      Finally, explain how you might evaluate the success of these policy changes.

 

Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

Johnson Family Episode 4

Program Transcript

 

[MUSIC PLAYING]

 

MALE SPEAKER: There are two things I want you to think about as we go forward, process and possible outcomes.

 

As I explained on the phone to each of you, the university’s policy in cases like this is for me to give each of you the opportunity to tell your side of the story. This is a university procedure. It does not involve the police. Once I’ve heard both

sides it will be up to me to decide what action to take. Do you understand?

 

BOTH: Yes.

 

MALE SPEAKER: Now, possible outcomes. Talia’s claims could be dismissed. However, if her claims are accepted as true Eric could be suspended for a semester, or an entire year, or he could be expelled. This all depends on how the university rules. Am I clear? Are there any questions before we get started?

 

ERIC: What if you decide she’s lying? What happens to her then?

 

MALE SPEAKER: I’ve already described the potential outcomes. That’s it.

 

TALIA: You’re the one who’s lying. You told people we had sex when you raped me.

 

ERIC: Slut.

 

BOTH: Liar! Rapist!

 

MALE SPEAKER: End of conversation. I’ll schedule a meeting next week. Use that time to prepare. Do I make myself clear?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Discussion 3: The Social Work Advocate in Politics

Social workers often have commitments to specific policies, laws, or funding of programs that are vital to the population they serve or an issue that they strongly support. Such commitments often lead social workers to become involved in political issues and the campaigns of specific candidates. Being a social worker, such campaign experiences, the outcomes of your efforts, and how effective you felt you were may affect your view of the political process and the likelihood of becoming involved in similar campaigns in the future.

 

For this Discussion, reflect on your experiences if you have ever participated in a political campaign. What was the outcome of your participation? If you have not participated in a campaign, choose a campaign topic you support or oppose and consider the ways you might like to participate in that campaign. Likewise, think about your experiences if you have ever lobbied on a topic. If you have not, choose a topic for which you might like to lobby in favor or against. Finally, consider how you think social workers might have a powerful and positive effect as elected officials.

 

·      Post an explanation of the role of lobbying and campaigning in social work practice.
 
·      Then, explain how you think social workers might have a powerful and positive effect as elected officials.
 
·      Finally, explain of the impact, if any, the experiences and opinions of your colleagues have had on your own experiences and opinions.
 

Support your post with specific references to the resources. Be sure to provide full APA citations for your references.

DISCUSSION 4: Systems Perspective and Social Change

Zastrow and Kirst-Ashman (2016) stated, “Clients are affected by and in constant dynamic interactions with other systems, including families, groups, organizations, and communities” (p. 35-36). As a social worker, when you address the needs of an individual client, you also take into account the systems with which the client interacts. Obtaining information about these systems helps you better assess your client’s situation. These systems may provide support to the client, or they may contribute to the client’s presenting problem.

 

For this Discussion, review “Working With People With Disabilities: The Case of Lester.”Consider the systems with which Lester Johnson, the client, interacts. Think about ways you might apply a systems perspective to his case. Also, consider the significance of the systems perspective for social work in general.

·      Post a Discussion in which you explain how multiple systems interact to impact individuals.
 
·      Explain how you, as a social worker, might apply a systems perspective to your work with Lester Johnson.
 

·      Finally, explain how you might apply a systems perspective to social work practice.

 

Be sure to support your posts with specific references to the resources. If you are using additional articles, be sure to provide full APA-formatted citations for your references.

Working With Clients With Disabilities: The Case of Lester

Lester is a 59-year-old, African American widower with two adult children. He lives in a medium-sized Midwestern city. Four months ago, he was a driver in a multiple vehicle crash while visiting his daughter in another city and was injured in the accident, although he was not at fault. Prior to the accident he was an electrician and lived on his own in a single-family home. He was an active member in his church and a worship leader. He has a supportive brother and sister-in-law who also live nearby. Both of his children have left the family home, and his son is married and lives in a nearby large metropolitan area.

When he was admitted to the hospital, Lester’s CT showed some intracerebral hemorrhaging, and the follow-up scans showed a decrease in bleeding but some midline shift. He seemed to have only limited cognition of his hospitalization. When his children came to visit, he smiled and verbalized in short words but could not communicate in sentences; he winced and moaned to indicate when he was in pain. He had problems with balance and could not stand independently nor walk without assistance. Past medical history includes type 2 diabetes; elevated blood pressure; a long history of smoking, with some emphysema; and a 30-day in-house treatment for binge alcoholism 6 years ago following his wife’s long illness with breast cancer and her subsequent death.

One month ago he was discharged from the hospital to a rehabilitation facility, and at his last medical review it was estimated he will need an additional 2 months’ minimum treatment and follow-up therapies in the facility.

As the social worker at the rehab center, I conducted a psychosocial assessment after his admission to rehabilitation.

At the time of the assessment, Lester was impulsive and was screened for self-harm, which was deemed low risk. He did not have insight into the extent of his injury or changes resulting from the accident but was frustrated and cried when he could not manipulate his hands. Lester’s children jointly hold power of attorney (POA), but had not expressed any interest to date in his status or care. His brother is his shared decision making (SDM) proxy, but his sister-in-law seemed to be the most actively involved in planning for his follow-up care. His son and daughter called but had not visited, but his sister-in-law had visited him almost daily; praying with him at the bedside; and managing his household financials, mail, and house security during this period. His brother kept asking when Lester would be back to “normal” and able to manage on his own and was eager to take him out of the rehabilitation center.

Lester seemed depressed, showed some flat affect, did not exhibit competency or show interest in decision making, and needed ongoing help from his POA and SDM. His medical prognosis for full recovery remains limited, with his Glasgow Coma Scale at less than 9, which means his injury is categorized as catastrophic.

Lester currently has limited mobility and is continent, but he is not yet able to self-feed and cannot self-care for cleanliness; he currently needs assistance washing, shaving, cleaning his teeth, and dressing. He continues with daily occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT) sessions.

He will also need legal assistance to apply for his professional association pension and benefits and possible long-term disability. He will also need help identifying services for OT and PT after discharge.

He will need assistance from family members as the determination is made whether he can return to his residence with support or seek housing in a long-term care facility.

Final Project: Addiction Assessment and Intervention Plan

For your Final Project, you will apply the information you have learned in this course to critically analyze a case study and develop an Assessment and Intervention Plan based on it. Your Final Project must explain the choices you made in your plan and be supported with scholarly references from peer-reviewed literature and your course text. The case study for your project will be selected by you from published media (literature or film). The subject of the case study should be at least 16 years of age, and meet criteria for a substance-related or addictive disorder. You can find the full instructions for the Final Project document is attached. I would choose Denzel Washington in “Flight”.

This is taken from the template:

Overview of the Client

In this section, you should provide an overview of the client using the biopsychosocial model.  Included should be biological predispositions, family influences, cultural considerations, and other systemic factors as applicable.  It is suggested that you have at least one paragraph each for the above areas.  These paragraphs should review the research related the areas, and then apply back to the client/case.

Please do not just summarize the character/client here.  Give me content that I couldn’t read or watch about this case.  You should include RESEARCH related to biology, family, culture, etc.  How do these interact with addiction?  Think back to early weeks of the course where we covered these issues.  Review the research and then link it back to the case.  You need to demonstrate some insight here, don’t just review the movie, book, etc.

If you have questions about this, please let me know.  All sections of the paper should work this way….interaction between research and the case.

I am going to post a few ideas for the case study here that have been compiled by some faculty members.  This list is not exhaustive.  You may also use a character from television. I am also going to attach a template for the final project.  You do not have to use this template, but I suggest you consider it for organization or your paper, consideration of what should go into the sections, etc.  Please note, your final paper should not provide a summary of the movie/book that you select.  You will only be using the character as the case study and the rest should flow from that.  Please take some time to look over the assignment and ask questions in advance of the due date.  You can post your questions in the Contact the Instructor Tab as the answer might benefit your peers.  The rubric is essential to follow for this assignment!

“The case study for your project will be selected by you from published media (literature or film). The subject of the case study should be at least 16 years of age, and meet criteria for a substance-related or addictive disorder.

Happenstance vs. Holland Theory

Top of Form

John Holland’s “Trait and Factor” theory relies on cognitive thinking and problem solving. He lends heavily to the idea that every vocation requires a certain set of personality traits and that people enjoy working in settings with others who are like them (Niles & Harris Bowlsbey, 2017). Assessments determine that a person is 1 of 6 different personality types, and based off this information a job can be acquired that best fits a person’s unique abilities. When people work in environments that lend to their personal skills, they are more likely to feel successful and satisfied. While an assessment-based approach considers a multitude of factors, and is often thorough and extensive in understanding the makeup of an individual, there are some elements that lack in this approach. It limits an individual to their specific test results, which could cause a person to be biased against their untapped potential. Additionally, always planning leaves little room for the unknown and the unexpected positives that might arise from chance encounters. Unknown events can take place in a job which would require the person to be out of their specific element (Niles & Harris-Bowlsbey, 2017).

The “unknown” is the backbone of the Happenstance theory. It relies less on specific skills and talents, and doesn’t necessarily push finding a specific vocation based on tests or assessments. Happenstance instead emphasizes unpredictable events and chance occurrences could lead to finding one’s dream vocation (Niles & Harris-Bowlsbey, 2017). Krumboltz does a great job of getting Cassie to see life through the eyes of Happenstance Theory by asking her to first imagine her dream job, but also to consider what would happen if that dream job turned out to be one which she ends up hating. He presents the idea that even though she’s spent time and energy gaining education and training for something that didn’t work out, she should view this as a positive event because it is a learning experience (Microtraining Associates, 2009). The skills gained from one vocation can always be applied to another.

For this reason, I tend to enjoy the idea of Happenstance, because it mirrors the ideas presented by Barbara Fredrickson in her “Broaden and Build” theory (Murdock, 2008). Fredrickson also emphasizes flexibility, open mindedness and positive emotions as contributing factors to enhancing one’s abilities. Holland’s Theory only tells us what we are on paper, not what we could possibly become in reality. Krumboltz also emphasizes the concept to Cassie that one should always be a lifelong learner and the concept of mastery does not exist. Proverbs 12-1 says “Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but whoever hates correction is stupid.” One who thinks they know everything-even about themselves, will cease to grow. If someone limits themselves to their assessment results in trait and factor they would never explore their untapped potential. We should not limit ourselves in such a way or allow ourselves to be categorized when our potentials as God’s children are truly limitless.

“Clinical Formulation” section of final project

/in /by

Portion of ongoing assignment

 

Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric

Overview: For your final project, you will develop a conceptualization of an individual based on background information and the results of a few select tests. To do so, you will examine research to understand the purpose of the chosen tests, why they were utilized, and how they help inform the overall understanding of an individual’s presenting problems. Throughout the course, you will complete milestone assignments that are drafts of specific sections of the final project. Because these milestone assignments are drafts, you will notice that their critical elements and rubrics are similar to those in the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document.

In Milestone One, you focused on writing an introduction and completing critical elements A through D of the Test and Assessment Development Analysis section for each test.

In this second milestone, you will complete critical elements E through H of those sections, along with the “Clinical Formulation” section.

Prompt: You should have already chosen a vignette to focus on and research in the previous milestone. Reread the vignette thoroughly. Then, use the vignette and additional research to answer the critical elements listed below. Be sure to properly cite your resources; the final project requires you to include at least six references cited in APA format.

RESPONSE 1:

Respond to at least 2 of your colleagues and elaborate on their recommendations for cultural adaptation with the group they identified. For example, you might discuss a merit or limitation of the cultural adaptation that your colleague proposed. Or you might suggest an alternative application of one of Marsigilia and Booth’s cultural adaptation.

Colleague 1: Aimee

A tentative meaning of the quote presented by Knight et. al (2014) and how this would specifically inform an intervention recommendation for social work practice with the homeless.

“I discovered that my environment had a lot to do with my mental state. So, when I had my own place, I was in control of the environment. You know, there was no drama, everything was nice and mellow, and so I was able to function. Everything was on an even keel; that was fine. It was when other people and situations were introduced into my environment that I couldn’t get away from, that would send me over the edge” (Knight, Lopez, Shumway, Cohen, & Riley, 2014, p. 559).

The above mentioned quote provides a tentative meaning of safety in one’s own environment. The individual quoted correlates their physical and mental stability with their environment and recognizes the importance of feeling and being safe. One can abstract from this statement that the housing units allow for mental and physically stability to be gained because of the safety the units provide for them. The single room occupancy hotels (SRO’s) are “trauma-sensitive” and provide a sense of security and safety for the individual (Knight et al., 2014, p. 558). The homeless population struggles with where they will sleep from day to day, staying warm and dry out of the weather, and feeling rested as they do not receive much sleep because they are always on high alert due to their unstable environment. The units provided for the homeless women allows a sense of safety and security within their environment.

The statement also represents a control. The individual who made the comment is sharing that she finally feels control over her life where when things that are out of her control can send her “over the edge” (Knight et al., 2014, p. 559). An intervention can be suggested through the use of this statement. The intervention that could be used is how to maintain self-control when outside factors are introduced which make the individual uncomfortable and teach coping skills that the individual could use to de-escalate their feelings.

Adapting coping skills which are culturally sensitive and relevant for African Americans and their application for cognitive adaptations.

“Culture is fluid and ever-changing, the process of cultural adaptation is complex and dynamic” (Marsiglia & Booth, 2014, p. 423).  Cultural adaptation on the behalf of the social work intervention is important in order to provide culturally diverse intervention to the populations we are serving. Not all cultures will respond the same way to coping mechanisms that are introduced. Understanding the diversity in culture will enable us to provide the most beneficial teaching of coping skills.

The Latino population has a history of drug use and abuse which indicates that family-based interventions are culturally relevant as this population is family oriented and utilizes their families as their support system (Marsiglia & Booth, 2014, p. 425). As cited by Marsiglia & Booth, “Culturally grounded social work challenges practitioners to see themselves as the other and to recognize that the responsibility of cultural adaptation resides not solely on the clients but involves everyone in the relationship” (Marsiglia & Kulis, 2009).  Cognitive adaptations need to be considered so we are aware of potential challenges such as language barriers or suggesting coping strategies which may not be relevant to the family (p. 426). This is a reciprocal relationship so we need to understand where the client is and where they want to go moving forward. In order to provide the best service, we need to meet them where they are.

Qualitative Findings

This quote is from the article by Knight, Lopez, Comfort, Shumway, Cohen, & Riley, 2014, pp. 559.

Oh, it’s (my room’s) beautiful, it’s comfortable and it’s quiet and it’s clean!  I mean

The manager there is up on it.  He’s got security cameras now.  It’s secure, I’m high up.

The only way you can get into my window is if you try to do it.  And if you try to do it

and you fall, you’re going to die.  It’s out of the way (out of the neighborhood), yeah.

And so the (public) bus takes me to school.  Takes me straight to school, straight home.

Boom, no chaos.  Walgreen’s right there.  Boom, psych meds, boom right there, boom.

Bus pas (the bank) is right on the corner, boom.  I’m just – McDonald’s everything,

Grocery store, laundromat, everything, is just right there in my commute.  I don’t have to

go a block to go to the laundromat.  I don’t have to go a block to go to grocery shopping.

So, everything is just perfect for me.

For this woman, she is feeling safe and secure in her environment, which will allow her to work on her mental health and well-being.  She is not afraid to do the daily tasks that need to be done and is even attending school.  By being able to feel comfortable in her sing room occupancy (SRO), she is being able to manage her life without fear of being abused/raped, or felt pressured to use drugs.  She is trying to maintain a constant life and take care of her mental illness without being in conditions that are not conducive to this type of lifestyle.

Intervention Recommendation

I believe that when working with the homeless, understanding and acknowledging how the environment can affect outcomes of future progress is extremely important.  Just finding someone a place to live will not always provide the opportunity for an otherwise homeless individual the opportunity to change other issues about his or her life.  Even though the person is living indoors and not on the streets, if there is chaos, danger, and the conditions of the property are not well maintained, the indoor environment may still prove to be just as bad if not worse than living on the street (Knight, et. al., 2014).  On the macro level, using the funding to provide safety and security along with well-maintained SRO’s is imperative to this population.

Culturally Sensitive

In the Hispanic culture, family is a very large part of the culture.  As part of the macro-level intervention with the SRO’s would be to incorporate a family gathering area that can be used by tenants in the SRO.  This would hopefully allow these individuals to spend time with family members and regain/rebuild relationships that may have been torn apart in the past.  Mental illness and drug abuse can become a family’s detriment and being able to have a place in the SRO to have and enjoy family together time may prove helpful in a Hispanic culture.  Women tend to break away from family when there is trauma, because of embarrassment, the need to self-medicate, fear of retaliation on the perpetrator, or just not being able to understand oneself the issues surrounding a mental illness or trauma causing the mental illness.  Bringing families back together in this type of environment will hopefully prove to give the woman a sense of comfort and security knowing the family is involved, once again.

Content Adaptation

Because content adaptation looks at the making adjustments to the original intervention (Marsiglia & Booth, 2015), being able to look at the SRO’s and how they can be changed to match a Hispanic culture of family importance would be a way to be culturally competent.  Understanding and identifying this type of cultural identity (Marsiglia & Booth, 2015) could play a huge role in the regaining of family interaction.  The content adaptation would then need to be tested and evaluated to make sure the adaptation for the culture is working (Marsiglia & Booth, 2015).  Working within the community at the macro level would be a good place to start this type of change in order to have funding as well as understanding of the importance of being culturally competent.

RESPONSE 2:

Respond to at least two colleagues by critiquing their short-term strategies for addressing the SPG case study.

Colleague 1: Sandra

Post an analysis of the change that took place in the SPG. 

The changes that took place at the Southeast Planning Group (SPG), was that the executive director who worked for the company for five years abruptly resigned amid rumors that she was forced out. It appears as if she was great in bringing people together, however, there were a lack of confidence in her ability to grow the organization. Nearly, a month after she resigned another director was brought in and her first priorities were to reconfigure the structure of the organization in order to increase efficiency. Resulting in the elimination of two positions.

Furthermore, suggest one strategy that might improve the organizational climate and return the organization to optimal functioning. Provide support for your suggested strategy, explaining why it would be effective.

According to Lauffer, 2011, pg.323, “we really are looking for someone who knows the community and has proven the ability to build structural relationships between CCFCS and other organizations,” however, the people who were let go from SPG had strong ties with the community. Resulting in loss of trust in the organization.

One strategy that might improve the organizational climate and return the organization to optional functioning was to maintain those two positions since they have been with the organization from the beginning. These two employees seemed as if they were very productive and they helped to create a positive work environment both internally and externally. This created a lot of suspicions and the community lost trust in the organization.

Social agency management requires the performance of both internal and external coordination responsibilities. Agencies use numerous structural patterns to manage internal relationships and processes and maintain external relations to important people and organizations the organization’s real and potential stakeholders (Lauffer, 2011).

Colleague 2: Angela

Partnership between Southeast Planning Group (SPG) and stakeholders

In my opinion, the initial partnership between the stakeholders and SPG seemed to be a good relationship and on track with the main concept of combating homelessness and providing resources to the homeless population. The founder established a team who worked well within the community on issues addressing homelessness. Additionally, the founder was well known in the community for their passion to provided resources in an effort to end homelessness. For reason not explained, the Director/Founder resigned in addition to two of the top community organizers being forced out 5 years into the established program.

The Change

As explained by Plumber et al, when the community and SPG’s partners learned about the changes in leadership, there was suspicion about the new leadership and the direction they wanted to take the organization (Plummer, et al, 2014). A strategy that may improve the organizational climate and return the organization to optimal functioning is providing a vision. Northouse explains an effective leader creates a compelling vision that guide people’s behavior additionally, charismatic leaders create change by linking their vision and its values to the self-concept of followers. (Northouse, 2018, pg. 141). I believe this strategy would be effective because of the uncertainty of the stakeholders, employees and community members. Everyone is nervous about the direction of the company, in order to calm the fears providing a vison seems to be the best avenue. The vision can provide a road map of what the new ownership is envisioning. A lack of vision can affect future funding and established relationships with current partners causing stakeholders and the community to become nervous and have questions about the way forward for the company and the mission they initially signed up to be a part of. This may also bring fears and concerns to the many homeless people they vowed to helped.
