Attached you have my last Assignment# 5, along with Instructions and Rubrics. Please! pay very close attention to instructions, especially where the PowerPoint requirement is concerned. Please, pay attention to the highlighted portions and the very IMPORTANT comments in red for emphasis. I have also attached a narrative example as well as the PowerPoint to support the narrative. Also, make sure that the PowerPoint presentation has speaker notes to support actions being made that cannot go on the slide itself, and support that speaker note with a citation. There should be a minimum of twenty (20) pages of PowerPoint, not including the Cover and Reference page. Therefore, it should be 22 PowerPoint pages all combined. Also, make sure that the paper is at least three full pages, not counting cover and reference page, making a total of 5 pages for the paper. If any other questions or concerns, let me know. Thank you.

• Create and record a presentation for new employees and volunteers to understand how key historical events in U.S. history are connected to their work and impact society today.

Note: The first three assessments in this course build on each other; therefore, it is essential that you complete them in the order presented.

As you complete your Lessons From History Presentation assessment, you will combine all of the four skills you have practiced in this course to create and present a report about a specific issue based on historical events and sources. Just as if you were running for political office, you will need to understand the key principles of your presentation and maximize the capabilities of the medium you are using. And while this assessment focuses on one medium—a presentation in PowerPoint—your agility skill gives you the ability to choose other mediums (such as email, an academic paper, a video recording, or a public speech) in the future. No matter whether you are presenting at an industry event, welcoming a group of donors to an appreciation brunch, fighting a traffic ticket in court, speaking at your child’s career day, or petitioning your local town board, these same skills can help you continue to drive your message home in your life and career.

• Essential Skills

If you are getting a group of close friends together for lunch, you probably wouldn’t type up a formal invitation and mail it to them. If you are throwing a fancy wedding, you most likely wouldn’t tell your guests about it through a hasty text message with lots of misspelled words. If you decide to run for office, you probably would not announce your candidacy through a shaky video on a private Instagram account. You wouldn’t do these things because they would not send the right message (what you’re saying) to your audience, nor would they deliver that message through the best medium (how you’re saying it).

Being able to share relevant information in a way that is easily accessible and appropriate requires a combination of your technology, problem-solving, and communication skills, as well as your agility skill to help you understand when and how to pivot to reach your goals. You will continue learning to create and deliver a message (through your presentation) using your communication skill, and you will practice how to deliver that message using your technology skill.

Counselors As Contributors to Health Care Reform

The training of counselor educators and supervisors provides for instruction in the wellness model, developmental stages of lifetime adjustment, early intervention and prevention, and empowerment of clients. These values seem perfectly matched for the re-focusing of health care on the early stages of care rather than end-of-life care. An example of a health care model that utilizes early identification of mental health issues and has a client-centered approach to care is Intermountain Healthcare’s Mental Health Integration model.

Intermountain’s Mental Health Integration involves licensed mental health professionals working side-by-side with primary care physicians. Together they are administering or reviewing clients’ mental health screening instruments, consulting with physicians on mental health issues, providing same-day brief counseling and psycho-education, recommending referral for chronic and severe patients, and working in a health care team along with other professionals. This model engages community agencies such as the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) to support patients and families in the treatment process. Studies at Intermountain indicate that the Mental Health Integration model provides higher quality health care at revenue-neutral or reduced costs. The idea is for mental health workers to collaborate across professional fields to increase quality health care.

The Committee on Crossing the Quality Chasm: Adaptation to Mental Health and Addictive Disorders offers the following six aims to achieve high-quality health care:

“The Six Aims of High-Quality Health Care:

• Safe—avoiding injuries to patients from the care that is intended to help them.
• Effective—providing services based on scientific knowledge to all who could benefit and refraining from providing services to those not likely to benefit.
• Patient-centered—providing care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values and ensuring that patient values guide all clinical decisions.
• Timely—reducing waits and sometimes harmful delays for both those who receive and those who give care.
• Efficient—avoiding waste, in particular waste of equipment, supplies, ideas, and energy.
• Equitable—providing care that does not vary in quality because of personal characteristics such as gender, ethnicity, geographic location, and socioeconomic status”

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review the article, “Integration of Mental Health into Primary Health care in Uganda: Opportunities and Challenges.” Consider the challenges to integrating mental health care into primary care and think about strategies for overcoming these challenges.
• Review the article, “Far West Area Health Service Mental Health Integration Project: Model for Rural Australia,” and think about how mental health care can be improved by using a primary health care model.
• Review the article, “Reducing Harm Through Quality Improvement.” Consider the challenges and opportunities presented by Intermountain Healthcare’s mental health integration quality improvement program.
• Think about how you think the implementation of the mental health integration model might affect you personally.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 an explanation of how you think you would be affected personally by the implementation of the mental heath integration model. Be specific, using the model and your situation to illustrate your points.

 respond to listed statement in at least 170 words. Do you agree or disagree with the statement.  

As a leader, it is more effective to combine both the qualities of transactional and transformational leadership to improve the criminal justice organization.  When in a position of authority, the interest and personalities of all employees have to be taken into consideration.  To consider the workers, leaders should create a professional bond instilled with trust with their subordinates.  This bond is used as a place of security for employees in the criminal justice organization because they know they have strong leadership backing them up regardless of the situation.  Leaders are supposed to encourage these professionals to perform to the best of their ability. It is best to build and learn the individuals on your team strengths and weaknesses, so they can cohesively work together as a team.

Answer both questions 400 words with credible references.  Text attached.
