Policy advocacy is one of the key roles of human services professionals. It differs from advocating for clients in that it looks to inform those who are responsible for policy formation, such as politicians and leaders of large-scale organizations. Whether at a national, regional, or state level, policy advocacy efforts will have broad implications for how and when human services are delivered. In today’s world of diminished resources, policy advocacy can be the difference between being funded and not having the funds needed to help your clients. By engaging in opportunities with programs and organizations that receive federal or state funding, you may further support your advocacy effects and gain greater access to necessary resources. By watching the media presentation in the Weekly Resources you will get a feeling about how community organizations can engage in advocacy.

Chahana Fisher has applied for a part-time position in this Community Center in the role of advocacy support person. In this role she is going to identify the needs for advocacy for the populations served by the Center and draft information that will be used in advocacy for the Community Center. For this Discussion, review Chapter 7, “Visit The New Harbor Community” in the Weekly Resources. Then explore the Community Center in the Weekly Resources and read the description of the Community Center and the people who work there currently.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post a brief description of what you see as possible advocacy needs for this Community Center. Examples may be the needs for youth programming, immigrant language skills support, or recreational facilities for latchkey children after school. Explain how this Community Center could be involved in policy advocacy. Then, from the perspective of the community center and one organization from your area of interest, explain one benefit and one limitation of engaging in policy advocacy. Be specific and provide examples.

In this section you will describe the study that you are proposing to conduct to test your hypothesis. 

You will also write the Budget Justification section and the Budget for your grant proposal. The Budget Justification section will contain a description of your proposed budget including how grant funds will be used and justifying costs. Proposed costs must be reasonable, necessary and allocable to carry out the project’s goals and objectives. 

The Budget, which will be Appendix A of your grant proposal, will follow the format of the budget in the Sample Grant Proposal Template (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Appendix A . There is also a Budget Calculation spreadsheet (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. that you can use to determine the direct and indirect costs for your proposed study.

After writing the Proposed Study,  Budget Justification and Budget sections, combine them with the completed sections you have done in Weeks Two and Three (with feedback incorporated), and create the first draft of your grant proposal. Submit your draft grant proposal this week for the Week Five Grant Proposal – Peer Review assignment. 

Included every you need to know let me know asap. Looking forward to working with you again. Each section is due weekly any questions ask.

Case Background: Tracey is a 25 year old divorced woman and has been divorced for a year now. Her ex husband was abusive and she now has full custody of her daughter. She has little to no time for herself because she is too busy taking care of her daughter as a single parent. Tracey experiences extreme anxiety since the divorce but never took time to focus on it because she simply only has time to focus on what her child needs. Tracey only has a short time to herself and that is when she puts her daughter to sleep. During this down time, Tracey eats uncontrollably. She has even gained weight due to the unhealthy habit. Tracey even shares that she prefers to stay home and eat versus going out with family or friends.  

Search key words of possible diagnoses such as anxiety, eating disorder, depression, etc. into the MMY search box and it will provide many articles of assessments to choose from.  

By Day 3 of Week 7

Post your assessment selections and reasons why you selected these assessments. What would be the pros and cons of using each? Which would you select for this client?

References: 

The references will be the articles of which you chose for the assessments. There is a “cite” option to the right of page. You will choose the APA citing format.

Identify the US, CS, CR and provide an example of how you would work with the client to extinguish or replace the current CR.

Incorporate what you learned in this week’s assigned readings. Post should be at least 300 words.

Instrumental Conditioning

Learning theorists and psychologists seek to understand behavior, what promotes the continuation of behavior and what extinguishes it. Punishment is used as one tool in instrumental conditioning as modifying or exterminating a behavior.

Describe an instance in therapy that might call for use of punishment. After reading the APA code of conduct assigned in the week’s required readings discuss the ethical limitations (including the concepts of “Principle A: Beneficence and Nonmaleficence”–(http://www.apa.org/ethics/code2002.html#principle_a (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) towards using the use of this method of learning.

Post should be at least 300 words.

Learned Helplessness

Review the concept of learned helplessness in the assigned readings in the text and the supplemental article by Bargai, Ben-Shakhar, & Shalev (2007).

Analyze the role that learned helplessness plays in depression.

Discuss cognitive interventions that could be used in treating a client who is presenting with depression associated with learned helplessness.

Post should be at least 300 words.

Motivation

Every learning experience involves motivation, which the learner may be aware of prior to the learning experience or realizes only after reflection. Reviewing this weeks resources, compare the differences between extrinsic (incentive) and intrinsic motivation.

Is one form of motivation better for learning than the other? How so?

How does motivation play a role in the different theories of learning that you have read about up to this point?

Describe a learning experience of yours and determine if the motivation was intrinsic or extrinsic (or both).

Disruption in Memory

Disruption in memory can occur at different stages: retention, encoding, storage, or retrieval. Describe two factors that interfere in recall. Give examples of how this may be present in a client seeking counseling and how you would address the problem. Post should be at least 300 words

Learning Styles

How we differ in the ways that we learn has been of interest to psychologists and educators alike for the last several decades.

Distinguish between the three most supported learning style typologies: visualizer-verbalizer dimension, Kolb’s theory, and Sternberg’s theory. How does learning style influence counseling intervention and/or approach?

Post should be at least 300 words.
