As a community health professional, it is important that you have knowledge of the primary concerns of the aging population. As you work within the field, you will identify risk and protective factors specific to your community. As you become familiar with these risk and protective factors, you can work with people within the community to minimize risks to the aging population.

Prompt

This milestone should encompass Section III: Primary Concern of the final project.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

1. Primary Concern: In this section, you will continue to analyze the chosen primary concern, drawing connections between the concern and the well-being of an individual, as well as identifying both factors that put the aging population at risk with respect to the chosen concern as well as protective factors with respect to the concern.
2. Concern Impacts Well-Being: Explain how the identified primary concern impacts the overall well-being of the aging population, supporting your explanation with evidence. Consider how the concern impacts the mental, physical, and emotional well-being of the aging population. In other words, discuss how the concern impacts the well-being of the population.
3. Well-Being Impacts Concern: Explain how the overall well-being of individuals in the aging population might affect how the individuals are impacted by the primary concern, supporting your explanation with evidence. For example, if an individual is physically active, he or she may have a decreased risk of acquiring a chronic illness. In other words, discuss how individual lifestyles may impact the concern.
4. Factors Influence Health: Identify social, economic, and environmental factors that influence the health of the aging population with respect to the concern, substantiating your identifications with evidence. For example, an individual might not have transportation to receive his or her medication or might not be able to afford the medication.
5. Protective Factors: Explain how the previously identified factors are protective factors for the aging population with respect to the concern, supporting your explanation with evidence. For example, if the concern is chronic illness, a protective factor would be a support system in place for group exercise, or the ability to afford fresh fruits and vegetables.
6. Aging Populations at Risk: Explain how the previously identified factors put individuals in the aging population at risk for physical and mental health complications with respect to the identified concern, supporting your explanation with evidence.

As a case manager, you are facilitating an interdisciplinary meeting for a client. In the meeting, each team provides a report of the clients progress towards treatment goals. During the meeting, you notice that the client has been sitting with arms crossed and looking down most of the time. At the conclusion of the meeting, you ask the client how things are going, and the client only reports, I dont know. Following the meeting, you meet one-on-one with the client. The client expresses, No one cares what I want anyway, so I just dont say anything.

Instructions:

Conduct research on effective ways to facilitate interdisciplinary/team meetings. In a 1-2 page Microsoft Word document, explain at least two changes you would make to the meeting to enhance communication and how these changes could benefit the client.

For your Module 05 Course Project Assignment, you are continuing to assist your supervisor with her presentation for the conference on the Human Services Professionals ethical duties. You have been asked to research a case of a Human Services professional that ended up in the media due to allegations of violating civil or criminal law. After identifying at least two different resources on the case, address the following in a 2-3 page paper:

Requirements

1. The name or descriptions of the people involved (a) who was the victim? (b) who is the defendant? (c) What type of case is this? (d) where did the case take place?
2. What law or policy did they allegedly violate?
3. What was the harm to the client?
4. Did the professional violate any of the Human Services Ethical Standards that have previously been covered?
5. Are you able to identify something different the professional could have done to avoid this situation?

Valuing cultural diversity and honoring the cultural stories of the people we come into contact with begins with self-awareness and thoughtfulness. The purpose of this assignment is to encourage you to think about, define, and articulate your own cultural story and worldview, with the goal of identifying strengths and areas for growth. Understanding your own cultural beliefs and values can help to make you aware of potential bias and limitations. Culture is race and ethnicity, and also nationality, language, gender, religion and spirituality, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, disability or ability, and size, to name just a few identities. Belonging to a cultural group influences every aspect of one’s life, including beliefs, values, attitudes, and worldviews. When we understand our own cultural backgrounds, we can better understand how these identities affect others.

INSTRUCTIONS

Write a 4-5-page paper (not counting the title page and reference page) describing your culture and worldview. You do not need to write an abstract. Follow current APA professional style standards. Cite and reference our textbook, Cultural Engagement, by Chatraw and Prior

(2019), as a source used for support in each main section of your paper. This is the only source required for this paper, but you are welcome to use other course materials (course required videos, journal articles, and the two textbooks only; do not use other outside sources.

You may use Scripture as well. Because you are writing about your personal culture and worldview, it is appropriate to use first person pronouns (I, me, my, for example) for this assignment. Do not use any direct quotes.

Introduction: Begin with a brief paper introduction before going to your first section/heading (do not use a heading for the introduction). Provide a summary of the overall intent, purpose, or topic of your paper. This section should be no more than 12 page.

Use the following bold, centered headings to organize your paper.

Defining Culture

Define what is meant by culture in the first main section, defining culture. Explain how culture is defined in our text and then define and explain your own cultural identities in this context. Based on your cultural identities, provide a detailed description of the potential value differences and challenges that could arise in human services counseling settings. There should be multiple citations for our course text in this section. Faith and Culture

The next section of your paper should address faith and culture. This section is for you to articulate your current faith beliefs and practices that you identify with. How important is your faith to you? It is important to know what you believe and be able to clearly state this. How do you see your faith culture impacting counseling relationships, and how would you ethically address issues if a value or belief difference came up in the counseling relationship?

Contemporary Issues

The third main section, Contemporary Issues, contains your exploration of your personal culture and worldview beliefs regarding contemporary issues. Do not use subheadings for this section;

use paragraphs to separate main ideas. As you define your culture and worldview, focus on topics that are of the greatest significance to you personally (in our course reading, this concept is referred to as cultural salience). This is an important concept from our reading, that individuals place different priorities on aspects of their culture, and it is up to each person where this significance is placed. Explore at least three contemporary issues from our reading in this section. How would you ethically address these issues if a value or belief difference came up in a counseling relationship? You must cite our course text in this section multiple times to show how you are interacting with the text. Conclusion

End with a conclusion where you summarize what the paper covered and include closing thoughts. Discuss how this paper helped you and what you learned from the experience.

Approximately 12 page.

For this discussion, think about the intervention for your final project and create a draft of three goals and three objectives that are relevant and meaningful to attaining your identified goals. They should be specific and measurable. Consider the legal and ethical ramifications of these goals and their ability to assist in the provision of comprehensive and well-informed care.
