    The Community Counseling Services organization does not seem to explain their goals and objectives clearly. When first visiting the website it is clear what their list of programs and services are. It is also made clear who is able to utilize these services. Although each program states a specific purpose and need in which it is meeting, there are no direct measureable goals or objectives that are specifically listed. However, the programs and services descriptions seems to have their own goals because they each answer a different type of societal problem like outpatient services for those in times of life changes, and type 50 services for those who need behavioral health care, or mobile therapy for children and families who need one on one counseling, substance abuse programs and even senior programs. All of these could be considered societal problems that are areas of concern and Chambers and Wedel, 2005 states that “a program should answer societal problems of concern and provide a consistent standard for performance’. Also these programs and services do operate in way that services program participants and the greater good.…

    The role grants play in the Human Services field is critical in the funding stream. The program which the human services agency is trying to accomplish is dealt by requesting financial needs from government or local agencies. When an agency is trying to create a program to help the needs of the community, usually there are not any or enough monies to support the program through. “A grant is a sum of money given to an agency or person to address a problem or need in the community” (Coley and Scheinberg 1990). This is what an organization is going to receive after a request for proposal. It’s not guaranteed deal whether they’re going…

    The agencies were chosen because they are the ideal candidates who have the ability to help individuals in our community who don’t have a program that fits their needs. These local stakeholders have experience and expertise in the prospective programs that will be utilized to serve individuals fitting the eligibility requirements. What makes this an efficient collaboration of stakeholders is the plenitude of programs which they provide, to include: behavioral health professionals, housing providers, law enforcement, social services, advocacy groups, education, probation, community based non-profits, faith based organizations, individuals impacted by the justice system and housing navigators. There are also stakeholders who would indirectly participate in the program to include: prosecutors, food service providers, defense attorneys and the court system. These agencies would cover the services that would be needed in order to serve our stated target population…

    Participation across the program as well as community outreach contacted indicated 717 contacts on average per day in the Clubhouse programs surveyed (Potnick and Salzer, 2008). Researchers in this study also discuss another widely used, evidence-based model that is standard in Pennsylvania called the Partial Hospitalization Model (PHP) which encompasses community housing of clients, but involves clients spending up to seven days a week in a Community Mental Health Center or hospital setting (Potnick and Salzer, 2008). So this section of the study in essence compares a model where SPMI individuals participate in informal community support (Clubhouse) to SPMI individuals who commute to formal community support services (institutions). The researchers assert that both programs make a substantial impact on reducing psychiatric inpatient admissions and address various symptoms/concerns in this population. Potnick and Salzer (2008) do maintain both Clubhouse mode as well as PHPs as evidence based practices and strongly argue in favor of their benefits and necessity, but in an analysis of cost to outcomes, conclude that in Pennsylvania that Clubhouses yield 43 percent less cost than the PHP’s. Contributors to this may include the fact that PHP’s are reimbursed higher, although they provide less hours of contact than Clubhouses. The researchers note that if the PHP provided as many units of services, due to this increase, the difference state wide in cost would be around 7.5 million dollars (Potnick and Salzer,…

    The Administration for Children & Families or the ACF is known as an important Department of Health & Human Services America. ACF supports the economic and social well-being of children, families, communities, and individuals through offering many state of the art programs. ACF’s human services provide a vast range of groups consisting of individuals and families earning low income, Native Americans, refugees, and many others. (ACF, 2013) ACF has a mission to fulfill, and is also struggling to do so. They want to be able to provide grants to non-profit groups, state and local governments, faith and community-based organizations, Native American communities, and American Indian tribes. ACF also provides technical assistance, supervision, and administration to fund beneficiaries that, in turn, are responsible for direct delivery of services. (ACF, 2013) There are many barriers and issues in providing the grants to the end recipients for which the initiative is taken to implement the interoperability. “Interoperability” is acknowledged as a national effort of technological and programmatic coordination to mitigate and even diminish those barriers. Today, the emergence of…

    The American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA) was established in order to accommodate this growing population. In 1977, AMHCA held their first annual conference. During another conference held the same year, the organization held several competency-based workshops and discussed issues concerning licensure, third-party payments, how counselors should treat special populations in the settings they found themselves working within (William, 1985). The AMHCA went on to establish the “Blueprint for the Mental Health Counseling Profession” in order to provide direction in this growing field. As AMHCA continued to grow in membership, the association was able to institute certification for counselors; publications that included a newspaper and journal; and a history of strong leadership that increased the association’s visibility (William, 1985). Finally, the 1990’s ushered in a major influence amongst the many counseling associations due to mental health counselor’s unique skills and approach, overall contributions and impact on clients’ mental health and well…
