I have read their mission and the services they
provide, abuse and neglect, adoption, behavioral care, crisis intervention
counseling, and family support center. This
is a service for Arlington, Texas: a source and example for others to
follow. This organization has been in existence
since 1915. Their funding partner is the Texas Department of Family and
Protective Services. This is not
necessarily a government agency but it is supported by the state of Texas.
WebMD, retrieved from http://children.webmd.com/features/your-childs-nutrition-power-parents
WebMD is a medical consultant group of doctors that
give their expertise for your question, and yet they advise seeking a local
doctor if the condition is serious. This
particular article has lots of information about good nutrition for children
and ideas for parents. I have used this
website personally and had good information.
After consulting my physician, I was encouraged that WebMD is a good
resource. My physician said that she
would validate WebMD.
The goals and purpose of the ACH Child and Family
Services is the ultimate goal and I admire them. I wish I had time to get to that goal. I hope that my CoP will be just a small
service that follows their example.

This website is an introduction for eighty-one
different agencies that award grants and loans for single parents.
National Alliance for Nutrition & Activity, Retrieved from http://www.cspinet.org/nutritionpolicy/nana.html
This organization advocates policies and programs
within the federal government healthy eating and activity to reduce illness, diabetes,
and other disabilities and costs that are caused by cancer, heart disease, and
blood pressure.
My skills that are needed to provide any services to
my ideal community of single parents are communication, advertising, teaching
and loving each person contacted. I
believe that I have the skill of communication, teaching and loving but will
need assistance in advertising or notification of the program and how it is
designed to minister.
Dear Barbara, I think the jobs you have chosen sounds very interesting especially the Federal grants Wire. I have always been interesting in having a non-profit organization but I never heard of this till now. It sounds very rewarding and can help single families get a head start on life-skills to help them to be successful. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteBarbara,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post this week and I found a lot of interesting ideas from your information. I especially liked the information on Federal Grants Wire. I am a grand reviewer for the Office of Head Start and when I first started, I did not have any clue what I was doing. I felt very over my head and confused on many avenues regarding grant writing and reviewing. It took a lot of practice, reading and working late hours but I finally got it. I believe anyone that wants to work within a non-profit organization should have some experience with grants.
Barb,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great resources, especially Federal Grants Wire. Many programs depend on grant monies to operate. Grant money would be greatly needed and appreciated for those trying to get a program started that benefits young parents.
My daughter was a family and consumer science teacher but switched fields to ensure a job because schools are cutting this valuable program. She taught nutrition and parenting classes.

Hi Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI found your sites interesting. I have also used WebMD, for personal use, but agree that it is a valuable website. It gives great resources to those who may have questions, concerns, but are not able to call a doctor immediately on the phone. Also, the website for nutrition and healthy eating should be a exceptional website to apply and use for your capstone project and challenge. I wish you the best of luck and know that you will achieve what you are wanting to.
Barbara,
ReplyDeleteI really like that you included the federal grant site; that could be a resource for many of us based on our challenges for the Capstone project. The nutrition sites are definitely sites that I would use to teach parents as well as children about proper nutrition. Thank you for sharing!
