Community Resources HandoutHuman service professionals who work in the community may be expected to develop the skills necessary to engage in outreach, provide education to community members, assume an advocacy role, and influence policymakers. As a human service professional, connecting clients with appropriate community resources can have a profound impact on their health and quality of life. Therefore, you must be aware of the resources in your community, where to refer clients for special help, and what support systems exist in your community. Human service professionals can assume an advocacy role for disenfranchised clients whose background makes it difficult for them to utilize professional assistance; a community perspective emphasizes social change rather than merely helping people adapt to their circumstances.Assignment DirectionsFor this assignment you will be creating a 1-page community handout that presents information about resources that address the needs of an at-risk population in your community. The handout can be used to educate your community, influence policymakers, advocate for additional resources, and even bring with you on an interview with a community agency.Please be sure to address all of the following in your assignment:Provide a quote that captures the spirit of a community.Describe the community and provide an overview of the demographic statistics of population in the community.Tip: You may begin with the city/town/county website to obtain this information.Identify an at-risk population within the community that will benefit from the community resource handout (i.e., community members of color, individuals with physical or developmental disabilities, children at low-performing schools, families of incarcerated individuals, etc.).Examine three reasons as to why this population is considered at-risk (i.e., risk factors may be related to institutional or social conditions within the community, oppression, discrimination, access to care, etc.).Describe three specific challenges human service professionals may encounter when working with the at-risk population identified.Examples include: stigma related to the helping process, resistance to receiving outside help, challenges for this population in utilizing professional assistance, lack of trust between the population and helpers, social factors within the community that are barriers in accessing care, and/or institutional or social conditions that contribute to the community problems.Tip: Use the Purdue Global Library and APA in-text citations.Explore three local community resources that are available to the at-risk population (i.e., support groups, community health/mental health centers, community service programs, resources that address a particular basic need insecurity, etc.). Please include:a brief description of the resource (1–2 sentences)how clients would access the resources, anda link to the resource website.Using your previous assignments as a basis, analyze three professional skills you possess as they relate to work of advocating for the needs of the at-risk population.Assignment Guidelines: Your assignment should be 1-page handout and should include the following elements:Title: Insert a header to provide your name, title of assignment, course and section number, and date.Body: Answer all the questions. You may be creative in your handout design, though keep in mind the readability of the content (i.e., think about the colors/font used and accessibility).Your responses should reflect professional writing standards, using proper tone and language. The writing and writing style should be correct and accurate, and reflect knowledge of skills and practice in the human service profession.Reference page: Sources listed in APA format.Include a minimum of three scholarly or academic sources to support your responses and conclusions.Use Arial or Times New Roman 12-point font, double-spaced and left aligned.Use standard 1" margins on all sides.Use APA formatting and citation style.

1-Bambara's "The Lesson" and Barthelme's "The Balloon"In your discussions, be sure to cover the Postmodern elements "attached" in these stories.http://www.iupui.edu/~l105onln/docs/The_Lesson.pdfhttps://people.unica.it/fiorenzoiuliano/files/2016...a-Write a 300-500 word response to the assigned story. Grades on these responses will assess the depth of analysis and engagement with the text.How closely did you examine the assigned reading? What conclusions did you draw, and why? Did you provide evidence (quotes, paraphrases) from the text to support your assertions? If your reactions to what you read are purely emotional (the reading made you mad, sad, bored, etc.) then you haven’t thought enough about what you read. WHY did you have that reaction? Also under consideration: is your response organized, with full paragraphs, carefully proofread, and submitted on time?b- In addition to the post, please post THREE paragraph-length peer responses that respond to specific points made in your peers’ posts. You may agree or disagree, but be sure to respond with an aim towards deepening class discussions, not being “right” or correcting anyone._______________________ 2-Creative Response #2 https://people.unica.it/fiorenzoiuliano/files/2016...Write a story inspired by Donald Barthelme's "The Balloon" where an object (invented or otherwise) takes over a town or city. Your story can be playful, like Barthelme's story, or ominous. Be sure to use the collective narrative voice to approach the responses to the object. Use any other elements of Postmodernism you like in your story. Limit: 400 words.
