Policy advocacy is one of the key roles of human services professionals. It differs from advocating for clients in that it looks to inform those who are responsible for policy formation, such as politicians and leaders of large-scale organizations. Whether at a national, regional, or state level, policy advocacy efforts will have broad implications for how and when human services are delivered. In today’s world of diminished resources, policy advocacy can be the difference between being funded and not having the funds needed to help your clients. By engaging in opportunities with programs and organizations that receive federal or state funding, you may further support your advocacy effects and gain greater access to necessary resources.
Post a brief description of two different human services organizations. Explain how the organizations you selected are involved in policy advocacy. Then, from each organization’s perspective, explain one benefit and one limitation of engaging in policy advocacy. Be specific and provide examples. For this Select and explore one human services organization from this week’s media presentation and one organization from your own area of interest (Mental health counseling)

Topic: Curb Bullying In Adolescents with ADHD
For this component, you will develop a presentation that articulates a convincing need for the proposal you have developed. The presentation should be engaging and appealing to your target audience(s). You should envision yourself giving this presentation before your target audience(s). This could be, for example, a boss, fellow scholars at a conference, or a grant provider.
This is your opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of the problem you have identified and the need to conduct research or implement and evaluate an intervention. Remember that you are seeking support of the proposal, so knowing your audience and tailoring your message to them is crucial. Since you will not actually deliver this presentation in person, you must create a self-sustaining presentation. A narrated presentation is strongly suggested.
The presentation should adhere to the principles of an effective presentation, and all of your sources should be cited properly. There is no minimum or maximum number of slides required. You should use your judgment to create a presentation of appropriate length that will convey all of the necessary information while keeping the attention of your audience. The post project 2 – Powerpoint first appeared on Nursing School Essays.

Evaluating Objective and Projective Asessments 4pgs. Don’t plagiarize because I will check!!

In this assignment, you will compare projective and objective methods of personality assessment. Research a minimum of three peer-reviewed articles in the Ashford University Library that were published within the last 15 years on these techniques. In your paper, you will provide an evaluation of these techniques organized according to the outline provided below.

Summarize the features of objective methods of personality assessment, and provide at least three examples of these types of measures.
Explain the assumptions on which objective methods are based, and provide an analysis of empirical research testing the validity of the assumptions you identified.
Appraise the research exploring the technical adequacy (i.e., reliability and validity) of objective tests.
Describe the impact of social and culture variability on the administration and interpretation of objective tests.

Section 2: Projective Personality Assesment

Define the term projective in projective methods of personality assessment.
Summarize the features of projective methods of personality assessment, and provide at least three examples of these types of measures.
Explain the assumptions on which projective methods are based, and provide an analysis of empirical research testing the validity of the assumptions you identified.
Appraise the research exploring the technical adequacy (i.e., reliability and validity) of projective tests.

Section 3: Synthesis, Conclusions, and Recommendations

Write a brief one-paragraph scenario for a fictitious client. Include the following information: presenting concerns (reason for referral), age, gender, ethnicity, language(s), and any other significant information (e.g., military status, health issues, marital status, sexual orientation, etc.).
Debate the arguments supporting and opposing the use of projective and objective personality assessments with your identified client.
Select a minimum of one objective and one projective measure to use with your client. Compare the use of the selected projective and objective personality measures with your identified client.
Analyze the advantages and limitations of each assessment measure you selected.
Compose recommendations to improve the validity of personality assessment.
