Community Program Planning: Development and Training

Most correctional mental health services suffer from diffi culties in recruiting and maintaining well-qualified staff members and from producing much nonfunctional work. The use of a Clinical Resources Center (CRC), in which staff and functions are directed toward specific performance objectives, is suggested as an alternative organization of services. The CRC would offer (1) screening, targeted to actual transfer and organizational de cisions and conducted at the lowest staff level necessary; (2) in tensive individual evaluations for early identification and agency program planning; (3) direct treatment services; (4) field and consultation services throughout the system and within the in stitution, including management and training functions; and (5) program development, personnel development and training, and research. By concentrating substantial numbers of behavioral professionals in one location, the CRC mobilizes their skills toward meeting specific departmental objectives. It is designed to serve as both a test laboratory for program ideas and a means of extending mental health resources and skills through a cor rectional system.

Planning Development

School nurses often find themselves developing health-related programs for children and adolescents. One way to create compelling and interesting programs that meet the needs of students is to include them in the planning, development, and evaluation of such programs through focus groups. Children provide a perspective about their particular needs, interests, and understandings that cannot be obtained from adults or health care professionals. When children take part in program planning, the programs become more appealing to children because of the feedback from their perspective. This article describes ways focus groups can be used to examine the effectiveness and usability of health-related programs. Included is a discussion of the pros and cons of using focus groups with school-age children for planning and evaluating programs and guidelines for conducting focus groups.

Planning Development

Public health benchmarks are indicators for well-being and health status that help inform program planning and policy development. In Oregon, recent efforts by a group of state agencies and community partners led to the adoption of a Positive Youth Development (PYD) benchmark by the Oregon Progress Board in 2006. In this paper, we describe the process of creating the state benchmark and present research evidence showing strong relationships that link high levels of PYD to reduced levels of risk behaviors and increased levels of positive, healthy behaviors among Oregon youth. The creation of this benchmark allows better planning, development and monitoring of PYD programs by state agencies, schools and community partners. In addition, results reinforce the finding that the promotion of programs that boost one or more elements of PYD may help reduce risky behaviors and improve positive, healthy behaviors among adolescents.

Descriptive Method

This study aims to find out the organizational, recruitment, and training management of pencak silat coaching in IPSI Klaten Regency. This study was carried out at the pencak silat hermitage, Klaten Regency, using qualitative-descriptive method. The analysis unit was IPSI Klaten Regency. Data collection techniques included documentation, in-depth interview, and observation. The data were obtained from the management, coaches, and athletes of pencak silat coaching in IPSI Klaten Regency. It was found that (1) in the organizational management of pencak silat coaching in Klaten Regency, fairly good cooperation between the management and the coaches and athletes have been established; (2) the recruitment implementation has been good enough with the invitation of participants from each pencak silat school by giving a circular letter for the IPSI management to participate in several stages of selection; (3) the training management is carried out by providing a training program planning with the coordination of the management and the coach according to the athlete's needs; the planned training program can be developed according to circumstances and needs of the athlete. Therefore, based on the data analysis, it is concluded that the management of pencak silat coaching in IPSI Klaten Regency has been running quite well, but there is still a weakness. In athlete recruitment, some IPSI schools have not sent their athletes to take part in the selection yet. This needs to be solved, and IPSI Klaten Regency should always make improvements in their management for a better performance.
