Analyze the graphs and figures noted and describe your findings in behavioral health Analyze the graphs and figures noted and describe your findings in behavioral health Behavioral Health Overview ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS Epidemiologic data on the prevalence of psychiatric and substance disorders compared with the nation’s behavioral health care needs highlights gaps in service adequacy. Continuing changes in organization and fiscal structures resulting from the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), specifically how Medicaid expansion impacts behavioral health services, is an important area of concern. In addition, there are special challenges of the homeless and incarcerated mentally ill populations. Behavioral health also has a workforce shortage. This is another area for improvement in health care organizations throughout the nation. Review and analyze the graphs in Figure 10-1, Prevalence of any Mental Illness Among U. S. Adults; Figure 10-2, Prevalence of Serious Mental Illness Among U.S. Adults; Figure 10-3, Top Leading Disease or Disorder Categories Contributing to U.S. Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) (2010), and Figure 10-4, U.S. DALYs for Mental and Behavioral Disorders as a Percent of Total U.S. DALYs. Some of the barriers to care are provider geographic distribution, financial limitations, lack of or inadequate health insurance, stigma, misunderstandings about the treatability of conditions, personal and provider attitudes, cultural issues, and a poorly organized care delivery system (see page 285 of the textbook). Consider also the mental health services of children and adolescents. Consider the current events with mass shootings at schools, movie theaters, concerts, et cetera and have tough conversations about mental health. Instructions Write a three to four-page paper in which you: Explain the Mental Health Parity and Addition Equity Act of 2008. Explain the role of the National Institute of Mental Health and its influence on access to and utilization of health care services within the current health care system. Use at least three recent (that is, last five years) quality academic resources in this assignment.

Compare and contrast the door-in-the-face technique with the lowball technique Compare and contrast the door-in-the-face technique with the lowball technique Essay Topic: Compare and contrast the door-in-the-face technique with the lowball technique . ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS Require: Introduction Body Conclusion Reference: Social Psychology Saul Kassin, 2020CengageISBN.13: 978-0-357-12284-6 Answer preview to compare and contrast the door-in-the-face technique with the lowball technique. You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes. Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages. Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor. The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument. ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS Discussion Questions (DQ) Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses. Weekly Participation Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week. APA Format and Writing Quality Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition. Use of Direct Quotes I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source. LopesWrite Policy For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score. Late Policy The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading. Communication Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages.

Points of Distribution and importance in disaster situations attachment_1 LOG Point Of Distribution Points of Distribution (POD) can be extremely beneficial in disaster situations. They can also create concerns during an operation in regards to transporting supplies, safety, security and finding an optimum site for establishing a POD. Pick one area, either beneficial or detrimental; briefly explain how that would affect a disaster operation, and how you would improve upon the process. Remember you need to respond at least to two classmates’ posts 1st post Maureen Smyth Following a disaster, a point of distribution (POD) is where the community can go to obtain emergency supplies. When setting up POD’s, it is important to find a location with ample space for operations and storage of supplies, and consider accessibility for large scale deliveries of supplies, and for the public, whether it’s via car, foot, or mass transit. For safety reasons, it is recommended not to combine the mode of transportation. The US Army Corps of Engineers has recommended typing standards from smallest to largest below. They recommend servicing the public for up to 12 hours a day, from 7am-7pm. Shutting down access overnight provides the opportunity to resupply overnight, and it reduces operating in low light conditions, which may be a safety concern for the site, as well as supply recipients. Type 3: Dimensions: 150 x 300 feet Staffing: 19 personnel Loading Points: 3 Vehicle Lane(s): 1 Service Capacity: 5,000 people per day Type 2: Dimensions: 250 x 300 feet Staffing: 34 personnel Loading Points: 6 Vehicle Lane(s): 2 Service Capacity: 10,000 people per day Type 1: Dimensions: 250 x 500 feet Staffing: 78 personnel Loading Points: 12 Vehicle Lane(s): 4 Service Capacity: 20,000 people per day Type 1 is only used in large metropolitan areas As noted, POD’s may be the “Human Touch” element following a disaster. It may be a great opportunity to distribute additional information to the community. If the POD is a pedestrian-accessed location, it may be helpful to have a public address every 30 min, to provide updates on rescue efforts, disaster recovery, and how individuals can obtain assistance. If it is a vehicle-accessed POD, a public address could be unsafe, but a printed flier with information and avenues to assistance could be distributed along with water, food, and the emergency items being distributed. FEMA, 2010. IS-26: Guide to Points of Distribution. Retrieved from https://training.fema.gov/is/courseoverview.aspx?code=is-26. 2nd post Mohammed Alsulami Challenges in Setting Up Points of Distribution (POD) Points of distribution (POD) refer to the area that is one of the many central points from where supplies are disseminated to the public in a disaster-struck region. Supplies may include food, water, blankets, medicines, and other essential items for survival and sustenance. PODs have become a fundamental facet of humanitarian assistance in the event of a disaster. However, various challenges arise during rescue operations when making safety and transport arrangements along with locating a suitable area to set up these PODs (Sheu, 2007). They often require immense resources to establish and its operations are characterized by several logistical considerations. Funding Requirements for POD Setup Setting up a POD calls for the allocation of significant funding. This not only covers construction costs but also the cost of hiring adequate staff to keep the establishments running (Balcik & Beamon, 2008). In most cases, people volunteer their services at the POD. However, this may not always be the case. Therefore, funds need to be set aside to ensure smooth running of the PODs. In my opinion, these funds could instead be used to finance rescue operations and for compensating the victims and their families. Logistical Considerations For POD Setup Another drawback of having PODs is that they are time-consuming and involve plenty of logistics. POD sites are selected and finalized based on many factors and considerations. Some of the factors and deliberations include population density, traffic patterns, and design layouts of the POD. Hence, a significant amount of time is spent on planning a POD. In addition, the rescue teams have to decide and distribute the supplies proportionally among the victims. This by itself is a substantial responsibility and challenge. These factors would slow down a rescue operation during disaster management. Conclusion Planning well ahead of time would help with eliminating or minimizing the difficulties resulting from the creation of a POD. The success of a POD is measured by its ability to meet public needs. (Widener & Horner, 2011). To reduce costs, volunteers should be encouraged to come forth and assist victims during disaster operations. This would significantly cut down the cost of hiring additional staff for the rescue operations. References Balcik, B., & Beamon, B. M. (2008). Facility location in humanitarian relief.

POD comes in. Usually, PODs operate until the disaster is taken care of and power. The response team helps in the protection and salvage of the citizens’ possessions that have been ravaged by disaster. (Fikar, Gronalt, & Hirsch, 2016). However, to find an optimum side for the establishment of a POD is crucial to the success of disaster recovery. To ensure the establishment of a smooth-running POD, it is important to identify potential locations. Locations selected should be based on the population density of the area. A POD that takes advantage of a developed and a coordinated effort will ensure that disaster is handled efficiently (Rennemo et al., 2014).

They can also create concerns during an operation in regards to transporting supplies, safety, security and finding an optimum site for establishing a POD. Pick one area, either beneficial or detrimental; briefly explain how that would affect a disaster operation, and how you would improve upon the process. Security of a POD is extremely important and plays a vital role in ether a POD’s success or its failure. Without security measures at a POD the vulnerability of the POD increases. All dependent on the situation of the disaster, security of the supplies, people, transportation equipment, and staff are all very important in keeping a functioning POD. During a disaster incoming supplies hold very high value to the intended recipients, for this reason keeping the supplies safe from being stolen is beneficial in the overall disaster operation. Improving the process of security of a POD Contracts with ether local law enforcement to provide physical security at the location, or contracts with security agencies that can provide security guards. Location of POD, taking inconsideration it needs to have easy access for the public and good flow to move supplies in and out. Outer cordon should be established. Finding a place that is enclosed by ether walls fences or some natural barrier. This will deter people from trying to steal supplies. Organized entry and exits, that have switch backs that can keep the flow of people moving but also make it difficult for mobs to rush in. Points of Distribution and importance in disaster situations When first entering a disaster zone and establishing a POD, understanding the terrain, climate, people, and the magnitude of the disaster will dictate the amount of security needed. Using a Threat Assessment would provided a good bases on how much security would be needed.

Are teams a functional aspect of a working organization Are teams a functional aspect of a working organization Read the scenario below, and then answer the questions that follow in a 3-page analysis. The questions will guide your analysis of the situation, but they will need to be presented as part of an analysis on the stages of team building. ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS Scenario: “I can’t take it!” said Lacey. “This team has created nothing but problems ever since it began.” “That’s not true,” said Tim. “When the project team to select a new software system and create a training plan was first formed, people were very respectful to one another. But ever since they’ve had to make decisions to move forward, there’s been nothing but conflict.” “That’s not really true,” said Lacey. “I mean, there are some team members who seem to have forgotten that the primary focus of the team is to find the best vendor possible and to choose the best possible product. But others seem afraid to raise any objections at all. Take Lisa, from IT. She has greater knowledge than just about anyone on the team. But she avoids conflict at all costs.” “On the other hand, there is Steve, from HR . He knows almost nothing about IT, yet he always has an opinion about everything. He comes in late and leaves early. He makes a few comments and complains about the current system or about the work ethic of other members, clearly wanting to show off in front of our supervisor when he is in the room. But he offers no meaningful data to help our team reach its goal. I don’t think he’s done any research at all,” said Tim. “He has good ideas, but no follow-through.” Lacey sighed, thinking of how far the project was falling behind schedule and how much work she still had to tackle. “I think it’s time to call a team briefing to refocus our energies. We need to discuss the more general organizational objectives, engage in more effective messaging, and also enable team members to ask any questions they might have. We need to move our team into the next stage of performing, or at least set norms for behavior.” Are teams a functional aspect of a working organization “It’s also a great way, frankly, to let team members know that their performance is not up to the standard that’s expected by the supervisor. Perhaps we should ask him to be there,” said Tim. “I think it’s also important to look at our roles. Not just the formal ones, but also the informal ones. Too many people are simply thinking of themselves and what membership on the team can do for their own careers. But every team needs four key players: a producer, an administrator, an integrator, and an entrepreneur,” chimed in Lacey. “Let’s think in terms of how the team members can fulfill those roles. Take Liz, for example. She’s clearly the producer. She’s so focused on getting things done. Even though she’s quiet, she’s never happy unless we can cross something off our agenda by the end of the meeting,” said Tim. “We need to give her more responsibilities—and also more credit, publicly.” “You know, as much as Steve annoys us, I think that he could play a useful role as an entrepreneur, or a person who comes up with new ideas. If only we can channel his energies, and give him some productive outlet for his ideas, he might be a force for good.” “And you’re clearly a great integrator, Lacey. See how you’re always searching for a positive way to make lemonade out of lemons, and to find the best way to use every potential negative in a positive way? You’re great at building bridges.” Address the following questions in your response: Who pioneered the forming, storming, norming, and performing model? What are the five dysfunctions of a team identified by Lencioni? What does Tuckman’s model explain about team development? What is your ideal role in a team meeting? Dr. Ichak Adizes, founder of the Adizes Institute, created the PAEI model during the 1970s. What are the four roles defined by Adizes? How can PAEI roles be used when trying to build a well-rounded managerial team? What is the primary goal of a team? Who is the glue that binds teams and the organization, ensuring that all of the cogs remain headed toward the same goal? Are teams a functional aspect of a working organization?
