Respond to at least two colleagues by providing respectful feedback on their goal and measurable outcomes. Evaluate whether your colleagues have included all three properties of measurability (performance, conditions, and criteria). If they have not, suggest how they may include an additional property.

Briefly describe the overarching aim/goal of your proposed program.

The overarching goal related to my proposed program is to keep people in their homes and communities by exploring ways to increase direct care supports and alternatives to those face-face supports. This goal will also reduce the financial burdens to communities by housing those who are aging and disabled in the community, as alternatives to nursing home/institutions placements.

Select two outcomes from your program-level logic model and write them in a sentence format that includes performance, conditions, and criteria. 

1. The agency will identify how many clients qualify for medically necessary services but cannot access services due to lack of providers by 12/31/24.
2. The agency will interview one electronic/remote DSP provider option weekly for two months to identify three options for service delivery.

Explain how these outcomes would support the overarching aim/goal of the program.

The outcomes assess how many clients within the agency do not receive the required supports needed. This collection of data will highlight the issues with the program and justify the need to explore other alternatives. The data would also prove the direct line to correlate how many direct cares staff are needed to fit the needs of the clients. Dudley (2020) discussed that practice and program goals having the ability to have the same goal, tend to be effective when interrelated.  These outcomes aim to address the problem and structural format for how the program is delivered, making it functional and accessible. Remote services increase the healthcare workers ability to meet the needs without being physically present (Haleem et al., 2021).

Briefly describe the overarching aim/goal of your proposed program. 

The goal of the trauma-informed care program for at-risk youth is to improve youths emotional, behavioral, and mental well-being.  The ability to effectively regulate emotions is thus a crucial element of wellbeing and functioning, perhaps more importantly for youth given that brain structures involved in regulating behavioral expression of emotions are the last to mature (Bell & McBride, 2010).This program will provide the youth with the ability to feel safe and supportive. The aim will also be to help the youth develop and build their coping skills, while also recovering from the negative effects of trauma. In addition, this program can help families, and the community build strong connections. 

Select two outcomes from your program-level logic model and write them in a sentence format that includes performance, conditions, and criteria.  

Within 6 months of participation in the program the youth will demonstrate improved emotional regulation. 75% of participants showed increased emotional awareness and coping skills. This was assessed using pre- and post- program standardized assessments such as emotional regulation questionnaire. Within 6 months of participation 80% of participants will become more engaged in their academic schoolwork which will be measured by self-report data. The youth will improve their grade by at least one letter grade. 

Explain how these outcomes would support the overarching aim/goal of the program. 

These outcomes support the aim and goal of the program because if the youth feel safe and connected to their educational environment it can facilitate less stress, anxiety, and overall improve mental health.  The way individuals regulate their emotions has an influence on their mental wellbeing and functioning (Chang et al., 2023). Emotional regulation skills can help the youth build positive relationships and reduce behaviors.
