...HSM 230: Ethical Issues in Human Services Management Week 9: Final Project: Building an Ethical Organization part 2 Title: Job Placement Program By Penelope Foretich August 20, 2015 Introduction Statement Here in the city of Commerce, TX, there is a rising problem that has to deal with the economic crisis of the town. The town has approximately 9,000 residents in it, but only a handful of employment opportunities for these residents to find work. The highest employer in town is the Texas A and M University with an average of 900 employees. However, once school is out, their job opportunities for the town drop drastically. Many employers lose their staff, since most are from the University. As a result, it has possibly added to the cause of the poverty rate increase in the town. As a Human Service Advocate and a resident of the town itself, I propose a Job Placement program to bring the economy of the town back up. The people of Commerce need a way to revive the town and bring the economy of their residents back up and out of poverty. I believe creating a job placement program for the residents could help in solving the issue of the drop rate in available jobs in Commerce. This is a growing problem and there are many that need help with finding jobs. What will also help is providing the right job training for those part of the program. Description of the Organization The type of organization that I will be to be Director of is a non-profit Job placement program through...

In 2002, Charles G. Curie, Administrator for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHA) within the U.S. Department of Mental Health and Human Services (DHHS), stated that addressing the needs of persons with occurring disorders had become one of the highest priorities for the agency. The two systems of care have different approaches to identifying key symptoms, making assessments or diagnosis, deciding between quiet disparate treatment approaches and figuring out which State block grant funding category should be used to obtain coverage and reimbursement for services. The systems, Federal, State, and local levels challenge consumers and service providers alike in some cases to create divisions between providers and consumers and between providers and themselves.

...The Brain and Behavior Essay Frederica Phoenix BEH/225 Melodie Miller, Facilitator The Frontal Lobe is the part of the Brain that extends from what is known as the frontal pole of the brain and it extends down to the central sulcus. The lobe is located for the most part in the anterior cranial fossa, and parts of it have a shallow more concave low surface. This is designed for it to be able to fit its orbital roof.

The motor cortex is located within the frontal lobe of the brain and this is the area of which we utilize our fine motor skills almost pre-rehearsing them before we actually make any sort of movement. There is also the area for the production of speech which is located within the premotor cortex and is known as Broca’s area. Broca’s aphasia is named after the French neuroanatomist Paul Broca who is responsible for discovering a certain area of the brain in 1861 from his dealings with an aphasic man who went by the name of “Tan”. Once this gentleman died, Broca performed his autopsy and discovered that there was damage done to the left hemisphere of his brain in the frontal lobe which is why this area was named after him.
