Explain whether motivational interviewing would be effective with this client.

Psychotherapy for Addictive Disorders
“A long-standing debate has roiled over whether addicts have a choice over their behaviors. The disease creates distortions in thinking, feelings, and perceptions, which drive people to behave in ways that are not understandable to others around them. Simply put, addiction is not a choice. Addictive behaviors are a manifestation of the disease, not a cause.”
–Dr. Raju Hajela, former president of the Canadian Society of Addiction Medicine
A common misconception is that addiction is a choice, and addicts are often labeled as individuals who lack morals, willpower, or responsibility. However, addiction is a clinical disorder that must be treated with the support of a health care professional. Although many people who are exposed to potentially addictive substances and behaviors continue life unaltered by their experiences, some people are fueled by these experiences and spiral out of control. In your role as the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, you must be prepared to not only work with these individuals who struggle with addiction, but also help them and their families overcome the social stigmas associated with addictive behavior.
This week, as you explore psychotherapy for addiction, you assess clients presenting with addictive disorders. You also examine therapies for treating these clients and consider potential outcomes. Finally, you develop diagnoses for clients receiving psychotherapy and consider legal and ethical implications of counseling these clients.

Compose a 2-to 3-page academic paper detailing a program evaluation method/process and why it would be appropriate within a specific human services organization.

Compose a 2-to 3-page academic paper detailing a program evaluation method/process and why it would be appropriate within a specific human services organization. When you conduct your research, it may be helpful to have a specific type of organization in mind, such as a government welfare office, an outpatient addiction program, a domestic violence crisis center, or any human services organization.
When you research and write, use the following questions as a guide:
What are the components of the evaluation’s approach (client questionnaires, focus groups, numerical tracking of site visits, for example)?
Why is the evaluation method you selected applicable to a human services program?
What does it specifically include or exclude that makes it applicable to human services programs?
How has this method been used successfully within other organizations?
Your paper must support your claims with at least three appropriate references beyond the textbook and be formatted according to apa

Ensuring employee safety should be an organizational priority, not only from a legal standpoint but also an ethical standpoint. When an employee is injured at work, it can invoke several different employment laws depending on the employer, such as: OSHA, ADA, FMLA, and workers’ compensation. HR professionals are put to the test when such injuries occur as balancing these areas can be difficult, and regrettably work injuries, despite safety measures put in place, occur. Sometimes, however, injuries happen due to disregard to the safety rules or for not reporting a potentially unsafe condition. How can organizations encourage employees to follow the safety rules and minimize work injuries? Be specific in your response.

2,. Throughout this course we explored many aspects of HRM, and none draws more heartburn for HR professionals than compensation and benefits. Let’s be honest, for most of us the reason we work is that we need the money and/or benefits. Compensation practices have a simple history: the organization pays as little as it can while the employee tries to earn as much as he or she can. This very struggle helped give rise to unions.
But today’s workforce is more complex than ever. We now refer to compensation and benefits as Total Rewards. Research has proven that for many employees, money isn’t everything because although money is needed to survive, at some point it begins to lose its motivational value for myriad of reasons. In this way, HR professionals can interpret total rewards to mean more than just compensation and benefits and divide the system between extrinsic and intrinsic values. For this final discussion, if money is not the chief motivator, what other extrinsic and intrinsic values can HR professionals recommend to leadership to help attract and retain a quality workforce?

Compare and Contrast Human Services Organizations

Assignment 3: Compare and Contrast Human Services Organizations
It is important to understand that human services are broad in spectrum and consist of many types of service delivery, including mental health, child welfare, medical care, public assistance, and corrections. In addition, human services organizations have varying organizational structures. There are different types of funding sources, legislation, and standards that influence how an agency will function to serve the clients in its community. For example, some agencies receive public funding to operate and must follow standards set down by those funding sources when providing services and running the agency. On the other hand, there are facilities that receive their revenues primarily from private funding, commercial insurance, or self-payment from clients and may not have to follow the same guidelines to operate the agency.
In this assignment, you will explore different types of human services organizations and select two types of organizations (for example, health, mental health, child welfare, or education) to draw comparisons between them. You will examine how the related funding sources, legislation, and standards interact with one another to influence service delivery.
Tasks:
Using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, complete the following:

In a 3- to 4-page report, address the following:

The history and scope of services of the selected human services organizations
The administrative operations of each agency
The legislation that has influenced the services and type of agencies selected
The major differences between the agency models of service delivery, organizational structure, funding sources, and how they evaluate their effectiveness (for example, outcome measures)


Identify two provisional factors (for example, performance outcome measures) that have direct implications on direct service.

Discuss their effects, positive or negative, on the agency as well as the service provider.
Provide your opinion on the costs and benefits of regulated operational standards on the effectiveness of services.
