Your task is to analyze the mental health and developmental disability services in your community. Assume you need to develop a pamphlet to help educate the community, which may consist of clients, potential clients, and family and loved ones trying to assist an individual in need. Most often, family and loved ones do not know where to turn for help.

As part of your pamphlet, address the following points:

• Describe the services that are available for:
  • Mental health
  • Developmental disabilities
• Assess the following services by neighborhoods
  • Accessibility
  • Staffing
  • Hours
  • Ethnic needs
• Identify the types of service providers
  • Faith-based
  • Community clinic
  • Private
  • Group homes
  • Advocacy organizations 

In conclusion, submit a brief Video Note in NCUOne with a recommendation for one area of improvement. To create a video note, select the Record video option in the assignment submission area. You will need your webcam to complete this video. Press the New Recording button when you are ready to record your video note and the Stop Recording when finished. Click the Add button to include the video in your assignment submission. Note, the Video Note tool records a maximum of 3 minutes. Plan on splitting your video into multiple segments if need be.

Alternate assignment: If you do not have access to a webcam, prepare a 1-2 page paper addressing your recommendation.

Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included. 

Length: 3-5 pages plus short video clip, not including title or reference pages

Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards where appropriate. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.
