Health Campaign – Part I • Resources: Health Campaign grading criteria on the student Web site • Read the following: Physical activity is one of many indicators of health defined in the most current version of Healthy People. A nearby community created a Get Out and Race in Racine campaign to respond to this indicator. Federal, state, and local agencies have suggested that communities assess how issues affect the community and specific target populations. As an advisor to the city council, you have been asked to recommend a possible response to a nationally identified health objective for your community. • Choose a public health issue aligned with a nationally identified health objective.
Back ground Research for the Intergenerational Project The inspiration for the project comes for the Onley IP project which was organised by Nacro, which saw young offenders gain valuable insight in working with sufferers of dementia. (Grandville & Laidlaw 2000 p8-10, p22) The outcomes were positive because ground rules were developed and implemented and the concept of equality was pivotal from the start of the project hence this contributed to the building of social capital between the two groups who would not normally have had any kind of interaction. The report ‘Reducing Re-offending the Enterprise Option’, Delroy Fletcher, 2004 and the Nacro website both agree that re-offending is greatly reduce when an offender is in gainful training or employment and on the positive effect that mentoring has on disaffected youths and young offenders.
The article discusses how important it is to tailor the drug and alcohol education to the Amish specific needs. It gives a model that will create an “interface between Amish and non-Amish culture, respects their spiritual beliefs, and maximizes learning and motivation to change behaviors” (Weber, Cates, & Carey, 2010, p. 97). The first section of the article discusses how the Amish youth have increasingly been involved in the criminal justice system due to drug and/or alcohol use. Because of this, the agencies have had to find a way to best serve this sensitive culture. We are then introduced to a model program that has been provided by the Elkhart-LaGrange settlement of Indiana (Weber, Cates, & Carey, 2010, p.
My position on this I believe could impact the paper. I think that if you are really passionate about something you could possibly not see the other side of the topic. You have to come at a topic that you have a lot of emotion about and be open to learning about the other side. The papers scope and majors sections will be first to look into how a child is diagnosed with a mental disorder. I would check and see what drugs are typically described to a child.
(Kathleen Stassen Berger, 2011 p. 57). The biological development of a young child’s brain directly assists the cognitive development of the brain and vice versus. According to Lev Vygotsky’s sociocultural idea, all children have the ability to learn despite of all mental disabilities (p.49). The knowledge and capabilities that are acquired depends on what is deemed important by their culture. To further understand a how a crime can be committed by a young child, Albert Bandura’s theory that humans can learn without reinforcement called “modeling” is a good explanation.
Seeing how the department of behavioral health has been with my own two sons, has really taught me a lot. “Parent teen mediation is a helpful alternative that promotes healthy communication between parents and teen about their issues” (Petryshyn, 2004). Most parents are at a lost on why their child has behavioral issues, and that is why they will go and seek help from a professional. Mediation offers a safe environment for both parties involved to be able to communicate with each other, without having judgment. This will allow the parents to be able to talk with their teen about their behavior and why they are acting this way.
Describe primary, secondary, and tertiary methods of health prevention for this topic. Research community and state resources and describe at least two of these for your chosen topic. What nursing interventions could you use to assist an adolescent you suspect is depressed beyond referring the adolescent to a state or community resource? Teen depression is a serious medical
We also provide Makaton to children with learning difficulties and provide with communication passports as this helps as learn more and understand better on each child. While working in the youth centre I also came across dealing with young teenagers who are addicted to drugs. To make sure that these young teenagers are helped, we provide with physiological support. Giving up drugs doesn’t have much physical effects but may have physiological effects. Some may have a low mood and physiological support will help with this.
AP Psychology Summer Assignment Hello AP PSYCHERS! The purpose of this summer assignment is to get you ready for the fast pace at which we travel through the AP Psychology curriculum; get you all set with Edmodo registration (already completed, or you would not be able to see this! ), and to become familiar with not only the AP Psych textbook website we use at LRHS, but also to know a bit about what psychology is, where it came from, and it’s history as well. DIRECTIONS: 1) Go to http://bcs.worthpublishers.com/myers7e (corrected Textbook Website). 2) Register as a student user using the name you wish me to call you in my class.
These classes have a huge impact on a child’s thought process at such a young age. If a lesson on gun safety were to be added to the curriculum, it would greatly benefit the cause to reduce fatalities associated with firearms. I am requesting that the D.A.R.E. programs existing within the schools of Virginia be revised to include information on proper gun safety, which is to be administered by law enforcement (who have been previously educated on the subject). This is a reasonable and necessary step in resolving an emotionally charged issue in a responsible manner.
