Identify a resource in your own community that provides primary, secondary, and tertiary services or resources for the issue you selected.

Just as other areas of need and at-risk populations require additional resources and support, so do couples and families. As a helping professional, you will be required to be aware of and be able to evaluate the mental health services provided in your community, from treatment to primary preventative interventions.

For this Assignment, select one issue from the following list:

  • substance abuse
  • domestic violence
  • child abuse and neglect
  • child/adolescent drug/alcohol abuse
  • depression

Identify a resource in your own community that provides primary, secondary, and tertiary services or resources for the issue you selected. Then, consider any gaps that may exist and how you might address them.

The Assignment (2–3 pages)

  • Identify the issue you selected.
  • Describe the community resource you selected.
  • Explain how it provides primary, secondary, and/or tertiary services or resources specifically for families and couples.
  • Explain any gaps that may exist.
  • Explain how you might address these gaps.

How many classes of access management could be discerned in a formal manner? Does anybody know of such an approach?

In identity and access management an identity can request access to an information asset. This apparently simple premise immediately leads to staggering complexity.

1. If you own the asset then access can be granted and managed directly.

2. If you own the asset, but none of its access paths, you must negotiate a protocol with path owners, if you are to provide access.

3. Any (contractual) entitlement to access introduces entitlement and contract management.

Following this approach we have identified 3 types of access (one direct sample and 2 indirect examples).

How many classes of access management could be discerned in a formal manner? Does anybody know of such an approach?

Compare the mission statement with that of any of its competitors and identify the key differences

Review the vision and mission statements of any large Saudi company in the food, beverage or dairy industry. (such as: Almarai, Nadec, savola ….ect)

Identify a quality improvement opportunity in your organization or practice.

Identify a quality improvement opportunity in your organization or practice. In a 1,250-1,500 word paper, describe the problem or issue and propose a quality improvement initiative based on evidence-based practice. Apply “The Road to Evidence-Based Practice” process, illustrated in Chapter 4 of your textbook, to create your proposal.

Include the following:

  1. Provide an overview of the problem and the setting in which the problem or issue occurs.
  2. Explain why a quality improvement initiative is needed in this area and the expected outcome.
  3. Discuss how the results of previous research demonstrate support for the quality improvement initiative and its projected outcomes. Include a minimum of three peer-reviewed sources published within the last 5 years, not included in the course materials or textbook, that establish evidence in support of the quality improvement proposed.
  4. Discuss steps necessary to implement the quality improvement initiative. Provide evidence and rationale to support your answer.
  5. Explain how the quality improvement initiative will be evaluated to determine whether there was improvement.
  6. Support your explanation by identifying the variables, hypothesis test, and statistical test that you would need to prove that the quality improvement initiative succeeded.

Define clinical significance, and explain the difference between clinical and statistical significance.

Not all EBP projects result in statistically significant results. Define clinical significance, and explain the difference between clinical and statistical significance. How can you use clinical significance to support positive outcomes in your project?
