Week 7 Assignment 2 HSM/230
Individual: Building an Ethical Organization Part 1
Family Helping Families is a program located in Northeast La and is one of ten non-profit resource centers all centers are. Operated by its own govern Board of Directors each staff and Board members is made-up of individuals and members with disabilities families helping families covers twelve parishes that is made-up of Region 8. I have seen family helping families help many of people in high school I would totally us the organization because children with disability are over looked and not given the same rights has others. In high school my mother fined this organization when she was trying to locate help for other classmates of mine I would never forget this ladies name her name was Lori. She was completely helpful with going beyond her call they even got in touch with the school and to give more assists to the family and the child. Their Mission and Vision was to provide information and referral, education and training and peer to peer support to all individuals living with disabilities and their families. Their Vision is to strengthen and support and empower the individuals and their families while providing home and the community inclusion. Point of information and Referral when a family is referred to the offices for Citizens with Developmental Disabilities they will determined to see their eligibility for the services and for their own they will referred to Families Helping Families then they will address any problems that need to handle. I would like to talk about three of the services Family Helping Families use one being Education & Support of those with Dual Diagnoses this program allow trouble students remain within their community and school. Personnel attends of ISC meetings and Evaluation & IEP meetings and they will also assist parents in handling services for their child that may have any mental illness and primarily emphasizing on the number of days they attend school and program design. The second program is Children’s Special Health Services Parent Liaisons this program deals, with parent Liaisons and attending and clinics and which basically consists of giving the parents emotional support, orientation material, and information that maybe available to services them, referrals and transition planning. Peer to Peer program is designed to give support to families of children living with disabilities chronic or terminal illness, prematurity or rare disorders. New families are matched to train volunteers Support Parents I choose family helping family because of it values you of working with family who have children with disabilities and the members of the board of made-up of people who have had experience with some type of disabilities.
I feels as if one could learn better from their other person because they have already walked a miles in those shoes. This organization simply is simply pin point them to the right place which they have already dealt with and do not have problem seeking new places to get the family the help she/he may need. The support they give to the parents is outstanding because it nothing like trying to get a child help who has a disability and you have no idea where to turn to and where are you going to get the help from. Some many families find themselves going through this emotional roll coaster because it’s hard to find the help they need some place do not have the time the hear the families out. I would use this corporate this organization because they stand by their word when they are accommodating families LA Teach promotes appropriate, inclusive education for all students. LA Teach works to make parents, educators, the general public, and state leadership informed and supportive of research based and effective practices used appropriately for each student. They have a team that works together to ensure that there is fairness that they work with the school to make sure that special need children is getting all the required things she/he need. A student here was at the high was a special needs child and they did not know for sure weather of not they were going to let him march like the rest of the students. Family helping families step in told them their no way you can hold this child back from marching like the rest of the classes mates you can either services him and his wheelie chair by marching. But you cannot stop him attending and receiving the same benefits as the others students when you work with them you build this family life and comfort that’s unforgettable. They believe and treating the child with the same respect as the other students is treated. I really love this organization because my mother has had training in it several times and when somebody is in need they call on her to get help my mother still receives newsletter for them today. I would like to say my mother is an advocated for helping other people it is many things’ I have witness in my old high school. Makes me want to reach out get work only with the best organization, and this organization trains all old and young I’m now considering doing my internship with them and getting my feet wet because. Working with these organization who have to know who is approved and who really stand by their and the work will show for itself. They have two programs that deal with bullying one is geared to work with Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and the parents. The other is designed to help teacher in the classroom teach their children about bullying and how to handle a bullying situation. Many people over look bullying because they do not think it affect people from all walks of like any children who are a handicap are used and abused because people feel like are make funny. Families Helping Families comes in and help teacher’s notices signs of bullying through the hand of other classes mates the that is something this is truly need in my state the hands on affected. They value are simply respecting the other person giving that person a fair and just change to win as well makes yourself aware of what is taking place with a child. I cannot wait to work with this organization and grow my learning experience.
