Select a social problem affecting the community described

B. Community Intervention Proposal Paper

Social workers should develop a thorough plan before intervening in a community. They can develop a plan by using problem-solving skills with a community social problem. The social problem-solving model includes steps presented in the class and course materials. These include:

Identifying and defining the problem

Establishing Objectives

Creating an action plan

Preparing to implement the plan

Evaluating the results of the intervention

Such planning guides intervention.

1.Select a social problem affecting the community described in Part A ( Community Analysis paper).

(TIP: Pick a relatively familiar problem-one for which you already have at least a minimum knowledge base). Examples: police brutality and African Americans, disproportional policing of minorities, disparities in prosecution and sentencing for various crimes relating to minorities.

2.Develop a proposal which identifies why the issue is a problem for the community and how you would develop a program or plan to solve the problem. Many of the information sources for the paper will be the same as those used for Part A of the assignment.

3.Assess group member’s coping strategies to reinforce and improve adaptation to life situations, circumstances and events. For example, some African Americans have been known to place ski rackson their vehicles, although they may not know how to ski, in an effort to ward off the police.

4.Develop a proposal which identifies why the issue is a problem for the community and how you would develop a program or plan to solve the problem. You must connect theoretical frameworks, perspectives and evidenced-based models to inform your intervention. For example, describe how an Afrocentric perspective could be used as your interpretative lens and inform your intervention when working with oppressed African Americans.

5.Be sure to gather information regarding diverse populations in the community, including

characteristics such as age, race, sexual orientation, ability levels, income levels, gender, ethnicity,

and religion. Identify power differentials within the community as it relates to race and gender.

6.Using a strengths approach, identify sources of strength within the select population and the community.

7.Identify your personal values that may influence your work with the identified population and demonstrate how you would allow professional values to guide your practice. For example, you may identify biases related to African Americans and your view on criminality. Another example would be your religious values which may not coincide with the affected population.

8.Assess social services within the community and make recommendations on improving or developing culturally responsive therapeutic services with the affected population that foster acceptance and engagement.

9.Select and use evaluation methods to examine the effectiveness of services and outcomes.

10.The assignment must be 7 pages(excluding title and reference page) of double-spaced, typed content (no pictures).

Each section will be discussed in class to assist you in writing the proposal. Writing style tips and required reference style are found in the American Psychological

Association Publication Manual (5th edition)

Below I am going to attach part A, Please review it and integrate anything suitable to the assignment. Great work means I will work with you again 😀

Community Analysis Paper

Social workers should develop a thorough understanding of community structure and dynamics before actively intervening in a community. They develop understanding by gathering information from a variety of sources, and by critically analyzing the information. Careful analysis of community data provides an essential foundation for intervention. When you complete this assignment , you should have identified barriers, problems or concerns that will benefit from intervention.The student is expected to:

1.Select a geographic community for study, using guidelines discussed in class.

2.Prepare a community profile, using, at a minimum the contents of your community plan. Use written and other information obtained through interviews with community residents and/or leaders.

3.Be sure to gather information regarding diverse populations in the community, including characteristics

such as age, race, sexual orientation, ability levels, income levels, gender, ethnicity, and religion.

Possible sources for this information are: city government, county government, local planning council, United Way, Chamber of Commerce, neighborhood associations, public library, and local newspapers. Students should also talk with people who live and work in the community.

4.The student can use photos and maps to illustrate issues in the community. For example, photos of the schools, churches, hospitals can indicate the major institutions of the community. The photographs must have captions to illustrate issues and demographics.

5.Be sure to identify the area of concern you would like to focus on in your “Community Intervention Proposal” paper.

6.The assignment must be pages(excluding title and reference page)of double-spaced, typed content. If you are using pictures they must be on a separate page(with heading and information about picture)after the page of content addressing

the picture. Each section will be discussed in class to assist you in writing your analysis. Writing style tips and required reference style are found in the American Psychological Association Publication Manual (5th Edition).

That’s Part A but altogether its just 7 pages but this is the full describtion of everything to help you fully understand Part B

Can you do that? blend it all together Part A and B ? I know Part B is What I Post to be answered but I thought it was similar just one more detailed. see this is why I though Part B is the main thing
