Abstract: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) homeless adults continue to be understudied and underserved despite the known healthcare and mental health disparities among the LGBT and risk factors associated with homelessness. Insufficient research and programs for the LGBT homeless adult population further perpetuates systematic discrimination due to the lack of culturally competent social service programs addressing their complex needs. The purpose of this project was to identify the health and mental health needs of LGBT homeless adults and to write a grant to fund an integrated mobile health team to increase access to health and mental services in the Skid Row and Hollywood areas of Los Angeles. The host agency for the grant proposal is the John Wesley Community Health Institute Incorporation in Skid Row downtown Los Angeles, California. The actual submission of this grant to California Community Foundation was not required to successfully complete this thesis project.
Hey, This is me... Heather Marie sharing the mistakes I've made in my life. The ups and the downs the laughter and the frowns. This is my second edition of my memoirs. When you read the first, you too will see how far God has brought me. I'm not where I want to be, but I'm on my way, and having a personal relationship with God always saves the day! Everyone needs to get to know God for themselves, and not for anyone else. We came in this world by ourselves and we're leaving the same way. Why not get closer to the One who created you today. With God by your side, there's nothing you can't do. Put God first, and He'll show you!. I'm no prophet, evangelist, or preacher but if you want to give me a title I'll be a teacher. And my class is, Building your relationship with God 101. If reading my struggles brings anyone closer to our Creator, I will do cartwheels and jump for joy sooner than later. I can't thank you enough for taking the time out of your busy day to read what I have to say. #blessingscomingyourway
The outcomes of a 12-week social skills program that had been implemented in various Head Start programs were compared to the outcomes of a 24-week program. The differences in scores between preschool-age externalizers and internalizers from pre- to posttest on the Early Screening Project (ESP) questionnaires were examined. The length of the social skills training program made no difference on the overall posttest scores for both externalizers and internalizers. Also, internalizers scored significantly better than externalizers scored at posttesting. Discussion focuses on the need for more research on the number of social skills training sessions and the outcomes of the programs on preschool-age students attending Head Start programs.
There are numerous interpersonal and intrapersonal factors that may affect children's coping and the level of distress experienced during forensic medical evaluations for alleged child sexual abuse. Children's temperament, previous experiences with medical procedures, parental presence during the examination, and parental psychopathology are factors that have been found to influence children's coping and their distress during general medical procedures. However, although much empirical attention has been given to children's adjustment to general medical procedures, there appears to be a dearth of research addressing adjustment to forensic medical evaluations. Thus, the purpose of this study was to identify factors predictive of children's coping and distress during these evaluations. Fifty-two 6- to 10-year-old children, their maternal caregivers, and agency staff completed standardized measures. Children were administered coping measures and rated their level of distress. Maternal caregivers completed measures assessing child temperament, parental psychopathology, and state anxiety. Agency staff completed distress ratings based on their behavioral observations of the children. As expected, temperament, parental psychopathology, and state anxiety were related to children's coping and distress, but only during the medical examination. Previous medical experiences were related to children's distress, but not coping. Finally, contrary to hypotheses, coping did not mediate the relationship between temperament and distress. Overall, these findings suggest that children's adjustment to forensic medical evaluations are influenced by many different interpersonal and intrapersonal factors. Understanding these influential factors is important in promoting change and exploring different approaches during these sensitive examinations.
