Professional Blueprint

Overview: Submit a complete, polished community psychology (CP) professional blueprint that incorporates revised content from the project milestones along with additional content on Systems Thinking, your role in the system, and a topic of your choice. The blueprint should address all of the topics and questions outlined below, and it must be a structured paper that includes a number of specific elements that link your expanding knowledge of CP with your professional goals and interests.

Note: You should use the resources that you collect in your annotated bibliography to inform your project, and any additional resources relevant to the blueprint. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

1. Systems View

Write a two-page response to the following questions:

a. As a systems thinker, how do various agencies and their goals interact in the community? Pick two agencies and demonstrate how their goals, missions, and outcomes support the community.

 

b. Does your community have any interagency associations that coordinate planning and social change efforts? For example, does the community have a human service association such as United Way? (These efforts may deal with prevention, crisis response, building community resilience, and so on.)

 

2. Your Role in the System

Write a two-page response to the following questions:

a. In your current role, what system are you part of?

 

b. What specific ideas and issues drive that system? (Example: the benefits of elder day-care services or of youth diversion courts.)

Case Assignment

Review the brief case study below (adopted from Understanding Cultural Diversity in Healthcare, 2019):

Amiya Nidhi was a young woman in her twenties who had recently immigrated to the United States from India. She was in the hospital to give birth. Her support person was her sister, Marala. Marala kept telling her to get an epidural, but Amiya said that even though she would like one, she could not get one; her husband would not allow it. Cindy, her nurse, overheard the conversation. Having learned that husbands are the authority figure in the traditional Indian household, she went to speak with Mr. Nidhi. She explained why an epidural would be advisable. She said that he seemed pleased that she came to him about it. He said he would think about it, and let her know.
