/in /by

Vulnerable Population: Abused Individuals, focused on Children   

Imagine you are a policymaker or
city council member and are actively involved in improving the lives of the
vulnerable.  Via the first two written assignments, you have already
selected one vulnerable population, which is in need of a new program or
service within your community. You will research and design a presentation (APA
style Paper or PowerPoint Presentation), which you will present at the next
city meeting to advocate for your special population group.
The Final Project should demonstrate an understanding of the reading
assignments, class discussions, as well as your own research and application of
new knowledge. It must contain the following elements below and be re-written
in your own words (you are welcome to refer to your previous assignments for
guidance, but do not copy and paste from them):

  1. A description of why this population group is
    vulnerable and in desperate need for help within your community.
  2. Identification of the health service needs of this
    special population.
  3. In order to support your claims and opinions, cite
    statistical data obtained from the county health department, state health
    department, and/or other organizations and agencies.

Design a model program or service, which is needed to improve the lives of your
chosen population within your community. Remember to design a new program not
currently existent within your community.  In your design, include the
following:


  1. A description of the continuum of care level (preventive,
    treatment, or long-term care) your program or service fall into and how it
    meets the needs of your selected group.  
  2. An analysis of the delivery modes of health services to
    be included.
  3. A discussion regarding the multidisciplinary approach
    that is incorporated into the program.
  4. An analysis of the role of legal and ethical
    requirements in the design of the program.
  5. Identification of a minimum of two community
    agencies/organizations you would like to partner with in some way(s) in
    order to implement this program/service.  Explain why you would like
    to partner with these organizations and how can they help or benefit you
    with the implementation of your program/service.
  6. Analysis of the current funding sources for provision
    of health services to this special population. Discuss the use of
    integrated funding. Based on your research, identify a minimum of two
    funding sources that may potentially provide monetary sponsorship for your
    program or service.  Explain why these entities would be likely funding
    sources.


Be detailed and convincing in describing the above elements, as you are
attempting to win as much support from the attending members as possible.
