Jeff and Sandy Williams present themselves in your counseling agency. Sandy Williams has called for an appointment and cited family issues along with couple conflict between her and her husband. The office receptionist makes an appointment for the entire family of four.

Jeff and Sandy have been married 21 years. Jeff owns his own used car business, but the downturn in the economy has created financial difficulty for him and Sandy. Sandy has been employed as a teachers aide at a local elementary school for 10 years. Their oldest son, Jacob (18) was diagnosed with Aspergers syndrome several years ago. The youngest son, Leo (15) is having trouble at school.

You have seen the family for two sessions; thus far, the issues presented are that Jeff has a drinking problem. He drinks each day when he arrives home from work and continues until he goes to bed. The next day he remembers little of his late night behaviors or conversations. This has created conflict between him and Sandy.

Due to slow business at the car lot, financial pressure has added to family anxieties. You sense that spending behaviors and lack of financial management are areas that may need some skill building.

Over the last 45 years, Jacobs awkwardness has alienated him socially. Jacob suffers from depression and overall sadness. He feels alone, misunderstood, and struggles with any kind of social engagement. Although Jacob is present during the family counseling sessions, he is both disengaging and silent. He sits, looking at the floor and rocking back and forth. A couple of times when you attempted to draw him into the conversation, he became agitated and began screaming.

Both Sandy and Jeff are perplexed about Jacobss behavior, lack of social skills, and lack of empathy; however, Jeff reacts with anger toward Jacob more so than Sandy. This results in Sandy being angry with Jeff for his reaction toward Jacob. The couple also suffers from loneliness and believes that this may be connected to Jacobs disorder. They both voice that they feel that no one really understands Jacob or what they go through as a family. Due to Jacobs disorder, the family seldom visits with friends or extended family. Many times when they have attempted to do things socially, Jacob either acts out or wants to return home early. This, again, angers Jeff and saddens Sandy.

Sandy and Jeff are also extremely frustrated with various individuals connected with the school system. They indicated that the school is not doing enough to help either of their two sons.

Leo has not contributed much to the conversation while in counseling and seems distant and disengaged from his family. When you have made attempts to draw Leo into the conversation, he has responded with comments like, I guess so, or whatever. Leos grades have been slipping from a B average to a D average over the last couple of years. Leo has few close friends, stays home if he can when the family goes on an outing. He seldom goes out with the family anymore. He reported being increasingly frustrated over the last few years.

This discussion offers you an opportunity to identify the ethical and legal issues that will be most relevant to your program evaluation. Address how you will meet the guidelines adopted by the American Counseling Association, the American Evaluation Association, and other applicable ethical and legal standards, as you gather information for your evaluation.

Additionally, consider how you will evaluate the cultural sensitivity of the program by examining the following questions. What data will you need to collect in order to answer these questions?:

• Are the intended services being delivered to the intended persons? Do particular groups find the services problematic because of their cultural values or practices?
• Are there needy but unserved persons the program is not reaching? What is known about these unserved persons and why the program is not reaching them?
• Once in service, do clients complete service? Who drops out, and why? Do particular groups drop out more often than other groups? Could this mean that the services are not sensitive to their cultural needs?

Consider these questions as they apply to your own and your peers’ hypothetical program evaluations.

This will be an expanded post of at least 300350 words that will assist you in developing this part of your Program Evaluation Plan project.

Planning a group involves many steps. Once group members are recruited and screened, group leaders can prepare group members by helping them understand what to expect as a group member. This is part of informed consent and sets the stage for how the group will develop. After reviewing the assigned readings:

• Describe the challenges of preparing a potential group member who may be hesitant to attend due to concerns for privacy.
• Describe how group facilitation skills can be used to help new members join a group.

1. Complete all eight  program modules. 
2. Submit a written reflection, where you will give an overview of the program, reflect on how this program specifically applies to you, and identify which principles of Community Psychology (refer back to Ch.1) are incorporated into this program. More specifically, your entry must cover the following:
   • Explain what is the Moving Forward program (2 points)
   • Describe what type of problem-solver you are, based upon the quiz in the program (2 points)
   • Describe what strategies you’ve learned regarding problem-solving (2 points)
   • Comment on each Principle of Community Psychology (from Ch. 1) and if it is applied to this program, and comment, overall, on whether or not you think the Moving Forward program meets the spirit of Community Psychology (4 points)

• moving foward:

For this discussion:

Describe a theory of motivation in the workplace and how it can effectively increase employees engagement and/or workplace productivity. Make sure you cite research that shows effectiveness of your ideas.

Make sure to include at least two scholarly sources in your initial post that no one else has used if you choose the same theory by Wednesday.  Make one response, with at least one scholarly source, by Sunday. .

Assignment: Action Research Survey

Action research by its very nature is participatory and should allow all interested parties to participate in voicing their opinions, concerns, or ideas. Survey creation is often an attractive method by which to collect information from groups of people (though it is not the only method). Since action research is often less formalized than other types of research, survey creation can be more casual and conversational. The goal is for teams or groups to collect enough information from the surveys that they can then begin the next phases of action research: interpreting and implementing.

In this Assignment, you develop a survey that could be used in an action research project.

To Prepare

Imagine that you are implementing a well-being program for the staff at the human or social services organization at which you currently work or one at which you might work in the future. Consider how you might use an open-ended survey to determine the needs for this program.

The Assignment (12 pages):

• Briefly describe the human or social services organization (real or hypothetical) for which you are creating your survey.
• Create a 10-item, open-ended question survey that you could use to determine the needs for a well-being program for the staff.
• Briefly explain why you selected each question for the survey.
• Finally, describe the medium you would use to deliver the survey.

Assignment: Create a Logic Model

The process of creating a logic model allows a program planner to carefully think through the resources available, activities implemented, and short-, intermediate-, and long-term outcomes that a program hopes to achieve. For this Assignment, you create your own logic model for a program of your choosing. If you are a current human and social services professional (Behavioral Science), you may choose a program that you currently implement or would like to implement in the future. If you are not yet in the field, you may design a program that professionally interests you.

To Prepare

Examine the resources in this weeks Learning Resources for information that will help you create, develop, and complete your logic model.

The Assignment:

• Complete your own logic model by following the instructions in the Logic Model Workbook.
• Be sure to print and fill out the assignment sheets in Appendices A and C of the Logic Model Workbook. *You will need to print these pages in order to complete them, then scan them and submit them to your instructor.
