HSE 310 Final Project Milestone One Guidelines and Ru
ic
Overview: As a human services practitioner, you could be in a position where you will be required to address the identified needs of families, communities, or
oth. In such cases, you will need to assess the use of potential intervention models, develop strategies for addressing needs, and possibly assess the available
appropriate resources to assist these families in negotiating the complex system of organizations in their communities. In doing so, you will be exposed to many
situations that involve trauma, and thus prepare yourself by composing a self-care plan to ensure a lengthy career.
The summative assessment for this course will require you to analyze a case scenario using family and community systems assessment models (i.e., sociograms,
culturegrams, ecomaps, genograms, etc.). After analyzing the case, use the data derived to design family and community interventions, being sure to justify the
use for all parties involved. Finally, you will be required to create a
ief reflection that will examine the potential personal and professional impact that situations
(such as the one presented in the case scenario) may have on you as a practitioner. In addition, you will
iefly identify your emerging self-care plan.
The overall objective of this assessment is to allow you to demonstrate your practice competencies and your enduring understanding of how family and
community systems operate and change. Predicated on the systems’ foundational principle that when one thing in a system changes, the entire system changes,
your completion of this assessment will allow you to craft a plan to create change that benefits the family and community in a dynamic way. Moreover, it will to
allow you to reflect on and plan how to best maintain your wellness as you embark on your career in human services.
Prompt: Submit a one-page draft of the Section I: Introduction to Case Scenario Part A (see critical elements below). Note that you will be completing Part B of
this critical element as part of your final project, which is due in Module Seven. You will provide a

2. What strengths are apparent in the family and community that can provide leverage to overcome the issues?
3. What small groups are present in the community that may help to facilitate change?
