Imagine you are a social service agency director and you have been contacted by a foundation to obtain funding to develop collaborative community-based services to meet the needs of the population of your choice. (You may continue to focus on the population or issue you identified in Week 6, or you may select a different group.) They have asked for you to develop and present a logic model to address the gap as well as innovative
programs to meet the needs of the population you serve.
You need to assess the current resources that are available within your community, the gap in services, and the use of best practices to identify recommendations for the new program to enhance interventions for clinical practice with families groups, organizations, and communities. You will present this logic model in a video-recorded presentation to the hypothetical grant funders in which you will also discuss and defend your recommended interventions.
Instructions
Building from the topic or population you chose for your Week 6 group assignment or using a different topic of your choice, you will create a logic model that you will also present in a video-recorded presentation that identifies resources and best practices that address your chosen issue or population. Please complete the logic model and share it during your video-recorded presentation. You will submit the presentation and completed
logic model for your assignment. Visit the following for an example of a completed logic model:
