Discussion: Budget, Budget Narrative, & Sustainability Plan

The budget is a crucial piece in the logical progression of developing your proposal. Look back at the other key components—needs statement, objectives, goals, methodology, and evaluation—and consider how these pieces must be represented in and supported by the budget. One can see why a funding reviewer might begin by looking at a budget. It should fully, clearly, and succinctly depict the story of the project. The budget narrative expands upon the line items of a budget, offering further explanation of costs and needs, as appropriate.

A sustainability plan explains to funders how you will continue a project after funding has been exhausted. Not only does this plan demonstrate a proactive stance toward your project, but it also provides a funder assurance that its interests will be served beyond the project timeframe.

In preparation for this Discussion, consider the components of your project that you have determined to this point. Review this module’s Learning Resources that focus on the budget, budget narrative, and sustainability plan. Note: You may select one of the two budget formats for your Discussion post: the budget example on pp. 162–163 or use the Sample Budget Worksheet on p. 328 as a guide to develop your budget.

You are to select and interview a professional in your designated or related career field (faculty in your program of study may be a good place to start). You are to complete the interview in person or by phone. At the beginning of the interview, you will explain the P.R.I.C.E. elements to the interviewee and then ask these questions:

• Have you seen the impact of applying these elements in your career?
• Which element(s) is/are the most important in your career field?
• In what situations are these elements the most challenging to utilize?
• Would you add or subtract from this list of elements if you could?
• Do you feel these elements are applicable for careers in this field in the future?

While you have been given the questions for the interviewee to answer, you still need to take some time to be prepared in advance of the interview.  Be sure to either take notes during the interview or ask permission and tape responses so you can remember what was said while completing the Unit 1 worksheet.

Be sure to download, complete, upload, and submit the Unit 1 worksheet.

Create a initial post to the attached questions. 300 words, APA format, 3-4 references.

Read the following scenario about an Arab American family and their various challenges upon arrival in the United States:

           A recently resettled refugee family from Iraq has several challenges that need to be addressed by their caseworker upon arrival in the United States. First, the father and traditional primary breadwinner for the family was an orthopedic surgeon at home, but he has been imprisoned for several years because of his support for an opposing political party. Because of language barriers and educational requirements, he is unable to practice his previous job in the United States and is showing resistance to his new job as a factory worker at a plant that manufactures lamps. Upon intake, psychologists have also pointed out that he appears to be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder due to his prior imprisonment experience.

           Meanwhile, the oldest child in the family is wheelchair-bound and, at seven years of age, has never attended school because of physical barriers to access despite no apparent mental disabilities. Finally, the mother of three young children has never worked, speaks no English, and has received only an eighth-grade education. She is expressing some reticence to her job placement at a mixed-gender bakery due to her cultural and religious beliefs that women and men should not work side by side, and that she should be at home to watch her two youngest children, who are not yet old enough to attend school.

1. Consider what the role of assimilation and acculturation might play in this family’s case.
2. Which (if any) of the family’s challenges should be addressed first, and how might this affect the prescribed case management goals? For example, should the parents’ economic self-sufficiency and employment be addressed first, prior to any psychological treatment or efforts toward language learning and cultural assimilation?
3. a.) Consider how to involve the family in the case management process. Which challenges presented by this Arab American family are best addressed holistically as a family, and which might be better left to just the individual caseworker and client?

b.) Do the benefits of family support and mutual understanding override the need for client confidentiality? How can both of these issues be successfully addressed in the case management approach for this family?

1. How can a caseworker establish important goals and interventions for this family within the clients’ cultural context?

Healthy People 2020 targeted the identification of social factors as a priority in its national health promotion campaign. In your opinion, how effective has this campaign been in communicating the role of social justice as part of its mission? Share your opinion with class members. 

ANSWER THE ABOVE DISCUSSION AND THEN REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTION AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 150 WORDS or MORE)

                                                     CLASSMATE’S POST

I believe the initiative the Healthy People 2020 have consistently benefited the general public from several points of view. The first is the way that they permit to bring issues to light for many people. It tries to connect individuals with different social orders and social spaces together as a single element and get together. It shows us the different philosophies that we could follow to remain fit and healthy. It also raises worry about the possible risk that will bypass us in a long run on the off chance that we do not repair our approaches as well as could be expecting and understanding. It has been promoting these projects to be carried out more regularly, and its goal is to make the public aware of possible danger and preventive measures.
