exploration of how funding can be maximized to support such a culture shift. Specifically, the following strategies and activities will be carried out.
1. Identify and enhance existing programmatic and legislative policy areas in which there is a lack of, or barriers to two-generation strategy.
Indiana’s Core Team will perform an in depth analysis on each of the state programmatic and legislative policies that currently exist within the scope of each state agency. Each representative will prepare an overview of the key areas of policy, such as enrollment into their respective programs, to later be analyzed as part of a group discussion. A matrix will be utilized in order to identify areas in which a two-generation approach across programs

Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) no longer exists. A new era has arrived and the nation has moved in a completely different direction. In 1996, new legislation, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, was passed. Under this new Act, " The state and local governments wide –ranging autonomy, discretion and responsibility for serving poor women and children were returned to them. It does this by repealing AFDC, the nation’s welfare employment program (the Job Opportunity and Basic Skills Training Program), and the AFDC emergency assistance program. In its place, Congress and the president have authorized an unprecedented amount of block grant funding to states through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)".
The two types of physician-hospital partnerships that I have selected are the IPA and FIO. IPAs and FIOs are arrangements at the opposite end of the professional integration spectrum. The major points for each type are described below.
The family unit is recognized as an importance in the field of social work. If a family is in need of temporary assistance, social workers are in full support of this, because
Therefore due to previous interaction, I decided to study the leadership of the Brantwood Children’s Home here in Montgomery, Alabama. Brantwood is a well-known children’s home that provides a place of stability, safety, and structure for abused, neglected, and at-risk children (About Us: Brantwood Children's Home, 2013). There are several types of residential programs that are available through Brantwood such as the basic residential treatment program; the transitional living program; and the independent living program. For each individual program there are age group restriction along with other restrictions. Brantwood also have an on-site educational program for grades 5th through 8th grade. According to the text book from my understanding, Brantwood is an example of the fourth type of organization that was presented.
As a matter of fact, on the one hand, PHFS emerged from the efforts of a group of Presbyterian churches that came together to address their welfare responsibility by founding an orphanage. However, as the status of orphan was changing, the federal government was fostering children’s’ return to a family or community setting rather than group care. Consequently, demand for group homes declined and, although the organization included adult housing services for individuals with disabilities and later on offered a few community-based services, it faced a declining donor base and was losing its relevance. On the other hand, the Family Alliance resulted from a community outreach tentative by several churches in Lynchburg. FA focused on services targeted at the Lynchburg community, fostering neighborhood leadership, young training, prevention, and intervention. However, the organization was approximately 85% funded, thus relied heavily on federal and local grants. As the state of the economy declined, the statewide support on foster care declined. The organization lost funds and had to stretch the funds it had left while keeping the quality of its services. Ultimately, both companies were facing challenges that drew attention to the need to modify their tactics and respond to ...
CHF is a determined fund that brings with it a goal to help the unfortunate and homeless children. This foundation has done much work to build such a strong financial support system for all its programs. They have been able to gather four different sources to help generate funds for their programs: private individuals corporate, aid by Congress and government health insurance programs. These programs and groups that are organized by the foundation are nearly in all parts of the country.
Before we can look at the purpose and the controversy around Family Resource Centers, we must first consider their background and what Family Resource Centers are. According to an Orientation Guide for Newly Employed FR/YSC Coordinators published by Morehead State University's College of Education, Family Resource Centers originated in the Kentucky Education Reform Act of 1990. Section 18 of the historical document called for the establishment of a system of statewide coordination of child service agencies though a school base...

...opment is a good way to define the upcoming changes for a company from within. The first goal will pertain to the efforts of expanding the culture from inside Mayo Clinic, due to the high number of diversity seen, culture is a key goal that should integrated into play. The second goal will be used in organizational development in terms of teamwork. By the 1940s, behavioral scientists in the United States already were recognizing the value of teamwork according to Wesner (2010). “Teamwork and teambuilding are considered effective ways to improve organizational performance and development” (Wesner, 2010, p. 42). Finally the third goal is to help promote the medical school that is here located at Mayo Clinic. Since there is a threat of losing the expertise that is currently offered the organizational development and strategically planning should be driven by this fear.
Developmental disability services come from someone outside your family unit who works in Human Services. This support is referred to as “services” and comes from medical, educational, and federal and state government programs.
Problems in the society such as poverty, homelessness, unemployment, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, unequal education, family and community violence, and racism all can affect families and impact child welfare and the system itself (Chipungu and Goodley, pp. 76, 2004) There is often a incongruity between the services being offered to children and families in foster care and what they actually need. One example that Chipungu and Goodley (2004) made was birth parents being offered training and counseling when services such as housing assistance and childcare are more critically needed but not available (pp. 79).
