...Executive Summary City Area Parent Support (CAPS) are looking into the development of a new project, the project will serve parents and carers whom are caring for a loved one struggling with substance misuse issues or addiction. Evening Support Sessions (The ESS Group) will give carers an opportunity to engage in structured group support sessions. CAPS have identified through research a gap in provision for those carers who perhaps can’t access support because of other responsibilities such as needing to work, within the typical service delivery hours of between 9am & 5pm. This project will serve any parent or carer living in the City area including surrounding areas. This will be a pilot short term project with the hope of development in the future depending on the outcomes and its success. It is a simple plan which will promote social inclusion, tackle isolation and provide an opportunity for carers to build effective relationships and friendships with others in a similar situation. Introduction City Area Parent Support (CAPS) is a registered charitable organisation established since 2007 and based in the xxxx Area of City. CAPS provide both practical and emotional support to parents and carers whom are troubled by addiction within the family across the city.

The operations market team who are responsible for putting the quarterly meeting consist of six staff. Five of the staff in the group has been with the company over six years. The last member on the team was a recent transfer from another department, though has also been with the company for about six years as well. Therefore, the majority of the team had taken part in previous market meetings except for the new member. We received an email directed to the team from the Partner in charge of the meeting with bullet points of what each person was expected to do prior to the meeting. The meeting was scheduled one month from the time of the initial email. We knew we had a deadline to meet and what was expected had been outlined in the email. We all proceeded to work on our respective parts, as each part was involved with the other therefore keeping constant communication was key to meeting the deadline. The team noticed that the new team member was not being responsive to emails and it was extremely important we know of her progress since all parts were integral of each other and without her input we were lost. Her non-responsiveness caused stress among the team because we did not know if her portion was completed, and this was imperative for the rest of us to complete our part....

Denial of Service are attacks where the objective is to bring down the server and to render services unavailable to others. This can be done by ping attacks and SYN flood attacks. To prevent these DOS attacks you want to make sure you are running an IPS on your network or your hosting provider has one. An IPS can detect when a SYN flood is happening and block the connections from the malicious machine. It can also detect when more than usual requests are being made for your network and reroute the traffic. If a DOS attack is already taking...

...University of Phoenix Material Scholarship, Practice, and Leadership in Motion: Part One Learning Team Project Students are grouped into teams of three to five according to established criteria. Then, teams engage in a project that integrates collaborative and reflective practice in the following steps: • Identify a problem or need that exists in your emerging doctoral community. The identified problem or need should be intrinsic and unique to your specific cohort. Your team must provide empirical evidence of the problem or need. • Design an intervention to address the problem or need. The intervention’s design should include a systematic means of qualitatively assessing the intervention’s effect and a means of implementing changes to the intervention to ensure its long-term effectiveness in the community. In other words, build into the design explicit opportunities for praxis-oriented feedback loops and adjustments throughout the implementation process. • As a team, critically reflect on the team dynamics and processes that emerged during your teamwork. For example, what kinds of power exist in the team, and where does power reside? How does the team privilege or silence voices? Whose voices are privileged or silenced? What kinds of authority does the team use, and where does that authority reside? What tensions exist between explicit and implicit dynamics and processes? • As a team, articulate ideas for responding to and addressing issues of previously...

Preparation The initial planning of the meeting will take some extra preparation. The next couple of days will entail gathering information that is necessary on the training staff that will be needed for the two days of training. The Human Resources department will be responsible for providing the list. Along with the preparation we also need to look at the facilities that will be available for the company to use. The list should be reviewed within a timely manner to narrow down the possibilities and setting one location for the accommodations and training room.

The IT department will be responsible for creating a list of all necessary hardware which will be needed for the training session, during this period. Training Staff Once the list of trainers that will be available for the training session is complete and obtained the best thing to do would be to categorize the trainers by experience. Anyone requiring recommendations should speak to the managers and trainers for assistance.

...Briefly outline and describe the essential elements of a solution-based, short-term pastoral counseling strategy such as its goal-orientation; brief (i.e., number of sessions) and time-limited (i.e., length of each session) nature; basic tenets and guiding assumptions (briefly explain each tenet and assumption), essential interpersonal skills, and possible behavioral positions (i.e., attending, blaming, willing). The goal-orientation for the short-term pastoral counseling should be to get the counselee to focus on their own goals that they have for themselves, and not so much what others or the counselor has for them. The class presentation, Overview of a Solution-Based, Short-Term Strategy, presents that you should limit the counseling to four sessions of either 50, 60, or 90 minutes. These limits fit well within the examples that Kollar gives throughout chapters 8 through 11. Phase 1 – Getting the Present Story The main purpose of this phase is to intently listen to the counselee and gain a solid understanding of where they are coming from. The goal is for the counselor is to actively listen to the counselee. “Active listening mirrors or paraphrases back to the speaker what he has just said, thus confirming for the speaker that he has been heard.” (Kollar, 2011, p. 92) The chief aim to this counseling session is to develop an overall solid picture of the present state of where the counselee is coming from. The counselor’s role in this phase is as a listener and confidant...
