Respite services for post-adoption families transitioning from the child welfare system| A grant proposal

Renteria, Yadira 03 February 2016 (has links)
<p> The purpose of the grant proposal was to collaborate with a host agency to incorporate respite care as an additional support for post-adoption families adopting from the Los Angeles child welfare system. A literature review was conducted to examine the needs and challenges of post adoptive families as well as the benefits of respite care within other populations faced with similar needs and challenges. The respite care program will be implemented at Olive Crest in Los Angeles County as part of the Adoption Promotion and Support Services Program (APSS). The goal of this program is to provide additional supportive services to parents caring for children with special needs and prevent adoption disruption or dissolution. Submission and funding of this grant was not a requirement for the completion of the project.</p>

Stress and self-efficacy among Latino immigrant parents| A quantitative study

Maga?a, Cynthia Guadalupe 04 February 2016 (has links)
<p> The purpose of this study was to examine stress and general self-efficacy among Latino immigrant parents in California. This was achieved through quantitative cross-sectional research. The results revealed that the older Latino immigrant parents indicated higher perceived stress. Living in the United States for a longer period was associated with a higher general self-efficacy. Past or current fear of deportation was associated with higher perceived stress. Latino immigrant parents in the lowest income categories indicated higher perceived stress, as did those with a greater number of children. Latino immigrant parents who reported a smaller household size indicated greater general self-efficacy. The results may be beneficial to families, professionals, and agencies so that they may better understand and help Latino immigrant parents and their families and work to implement programs specifically for this population.</p>

An evaluative study of the progress of adult mentally ill residents in a Fulton County group home

Robinson, John Lee, Sr. 01 May 1991 (has links)
The overall purpose of this research was to evaluate the progress of the residents who were living in a group home for the mentally ill located in the Fulton County area of Atlanta, Georgia. The study focused on evaluating residents functioning in daily activities, the extent to which they function in the group home and perform routine assignments by the use of an Individual Progress Rating Scale. Scores were obtained from March 19, through April 15, 1990 and from December 17, 1990 through January 13, 1991. The composite scores were used for the analysis of the data. The ecological perspective addresses environmental problems and needs which can thwart functioning in group home residents. The single system research methodology was employed to evaluate how effectively residents' needs in functioning were met. The study has been to effect a heightened awareness of how intervention strategies, when appropriately employed, can help to improve functioning in group home residents according to goals and objectives of the agency. There were only three residents who remained in the group home studied for a period of nine months in satisfying the evaluation. There was a 94.5% improvement shown in residents' functioning during the December 17, 1990 to January 13, 1991 period.

An exploratory study of the relationship between anger expression and hypertension in an African American population

Person, Lisa A. 01 May 1999 (has links)
This study examined the relationship between anger expression and hypertension in the African American population. Fifty African American males and females receiving services in an African American hair salon in Riverdale, Georgia were enrolled in the study. The Spielberger State Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI) which provides concise measures of the experience and expression of anger was administered to each participant. The exploratory research design was utilized in this study to examine whether there was a significant relationship between anger expression and hypertension. A stratified analysis was conducted to identify and evaluate confounding and interactive factors such as gender, belief that white racism exists in today's society, whether one has experienced racial discrimination within the last six months, and whether one believes racial discrimination affects one's stress level. However, there was no evidence of interaction between any of the factors and anger expression in the African American population. The hypothesis indicated that there will be a statistically significant relationship between anger expression and hypertension. Findings indicated that there is no statistically significant relationship between anger expression and hypertension. The conclusion drawn from this study demonstrated that more research is needed to determine the relationship between emotions and health in the African American population.

An employment assistance program for homeless men| A grant proposal

Watanabe, Anthony 16 March 2016 (has links)
<p> The purpose of this project was to locate a potential funding source and write a grant to provide an employment assistance program for homeless men at The Salvation Army Hospitality House in Santa Ana, California. Homelessness and the resulting health, economic, and social problems are significant public concerns and men are overrepresented among the homeless. Unemployment is one of the most cited reasons for being homeless among men residing at the host agency. The proposed program would provide these men with work/trade skills and job placement assistance and help them move from homelessness to self-sufficiency. The Carrie Estelle Doheny Foundation was selected as the most appropriate funding source. If funded, the program would reduce the number of homeless men in the area. The evaluation of the program would also contribute to the knowledge base of social work by demonstrating techniques to implement strength-based, evidence-based practices.</p>
