7 Key Differences Between Adult And Juvenile Criminal Justice Systems
Trauma-informed care is one form of treatment for youth in the child welfare system, residential homes, and trainings for foster care programs. In your initial post, evaluate why you think trauma-informed care is being used in the child welfare system, especially in residential programs. In addition, address the following in your initial post:
Is trauma-informed care effective in the residential setting? Provide specific examples where possible.
Do you think high turnover of group home and residential staff may impact the treatment? Explain.
First, conduct independent research focused on two areas:
Identify two child abuse risk assessments that you would use in a child abuse evaluation.
Research the difficulties child welfare has with diversity and equity for youth.
Next, discuss the psychometrics of the two assessments you researched. Explain how the assessments you chose address diversity and equity concerns. Also, explain how you (as the evaluator) would account for the diversity and equity of the families you are assessing.
Using the Fred economic database (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/) find the total unemployed, plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force, plus total employed part time for economic reasons, as a percent of the civilian labor force plus all persons marginally attached to the labor force (U-6), then click edit graph and add line and find the unemployment rate both data on percent, quartly, seasonally, adjusted level (might need to change the monthly data to quartly).
Now add another line to find natural rate of unemployment (short-term) on percent, quartly, not seasonally adjusted level. Copy and paste your graph in answer sheet showing the percentages of each rate at Q3 2020, for all lines together. Graph the data from Q1 of 1991 to Q1 of 2023.
Finally interpret your graph according to what you have learned.
Review the collateral information of Case Scenario 5. In the Assessment Data section, review the raw data of the CAPI. Appropriately interpret the scores. Based on your review of Therapeutic Risk Typologies, provide a recommendations report for child protective services.
