Organizational Analysis & Design Plan: Project Description and Scoring Guide
HSE 310 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Ru
ic
Overview: As a human services practitioner, you have a variety of tools at your disposal to help with analyzing the strengths and needs of the families you work
with and the communities in which they reside. In this milestone, you will choose at least two tools, which you practiced with in the Module Two and Three
discussion topics, to apply to and analyze the needs and strengths of the Riverez family, which is the family you will be focusing on for the submission of your
final care plan in Module Seven.
Prompt: Choose at least two of the tools you explored in the Modules Two and Three discussion assignments and apply them to analyze the needs of the Riverez
family and the community in which they reside.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
II. Systemic Analysis of the Family
A. Select one or more systemic family analysis instrument(s) (i.e., sociograms, culturagrams, ecomaps, genograms, etc.) for determining what is
appropriate in the case scenario. Provide justification as to which assessment instrument(s) would best flesh out the issues that exist in this
scenario. Use the selected instrument(s) and apply it to the case scenario.
1. What information did you derive from the assessment?
2. How do you think your selected assessment will help to frame your approach to working with the family? What interventions or
esources could be beneficial to this family based on your assessment?
III. Systemic Analysis of the Community
A. Select one or more systemic community analysis instrument(s) (i.e., sociograms, culturagrams, ecomaps, genograms, etc.) for determining what
is appropriate in the case scenario. Provide justification as to which assessment instrument(s) would best flesh out the systemic cultural, social,
economic, and educational issues and strengths that exist in this scenario? Use the selected instrument(s) and apply it to the case.
1. What information did you derive from the assessment?
2. How will your selected assessment help to frame your approach to working within the community? What interventions or resources
could be beneficial for this community based on your assessment?
Instrument options for this assignment:
ï‚· Ecomaps: Video: How to Draw Ecomaps (8:20)
ï‚· Genograms: Video: How to Draw Genograms (14:03)
ï‚· Sociogram: PDF: Exploring Sociometric Models and Sociograms and Template: Sociogram Template
ï‚· Culturagram: Book Chapter: Diagramming Families for Assessment
Guidelines for Submission: You will address the questions posed in the critical elements above in a single 1–2 page Word Document with double spacing, 12-
point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and proper APA style for formatting and citations. Utilize clear headings for each section (i.e., Systemic Analysis

instructor to review and provide feedback. If you decide to submit the completed instruments, you can attach a scanned version. Another option would be to
capture a picture on your smartphone and submit the image if it is clear enough and of good quality.

HSE 310 Final Project Guidelines and Ru

Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a family/community care plan and self-care plan.
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 both. 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
esources 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,
culturagrams, 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 scenarios 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
allow you to reflect on and plan how to best maintain your wellness as you embark on your career in human services.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final
submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Two, Three, and Five. The final submission will occur in Module Seven.
This assessment addresses the following course outcomes:
ï‚· Differentiate between the various systemic intervention models used for addressing family and community needs
ï‚· Evaluate the efficacy of systemic human services interventions for addressing identified family and community needs
ï‚· Develop goals and evidence-based strategies for addressing identified family and community needs
ï‚· Assess available resources for their ability to address family and community needs
ï‚· Assess the impact of ethics, legal responsibilities and limitations, and case-specific needs for developing self-care plans
Case Scenario
Family
Julio (age 33) and Quianna Riverez (age 30) live in Chicago, Illinois with their five children, ages one, three, four, seven, and 15. Both parents dropped out of high
school when Quianna became pregnant with their oldest child, Rico. Initially they lived with Quianna’s parents, later getting an apartment in the Englewood area
of the city, where they still cu
ently reside. Right after they moved into their own residence, they were relieved to be on their own, in part due to the chronic
conflict between Julio and Quianna’s parents that continues to this day. A few weeks after moving to Englewood, they realized that the violence the
neighborhood was known for would make an indelible mark on each of their lives. Julio was shot in the chest when rival gang members fought for turf in front of
the family’s apartment. Although he survived, he was left with lingering health issues resulting from extensive scar tissue in his lungs. For her part, Quianna
continues to struggle with the emotional impact of Julio’s shooting. Both parents have seen plenty of violence in the vicinity of their home, yet they feel trapped
since there is no money for daily necessities, much less relocation. Their feelings of helplessness and fear have intensified since a shoot-out last week left three
dead, including a one-year-old infant in a stroller. The incident played out in front of the entire
