WEEK 8 Discussion

*community chosen Brooklyn, NY 

For this discussion, conduct an audit of the resources available for your chosen client if you were going to work with them in your community. You will integrate these resources into the treatment plan you will be creating for the Week 9 assignment.

Use the Internet, the telephone book, and the local newspaper, as well as speak with counseling professionals in your locale to locate resources. Use the

to record both the details of the resources and the experience of locating them.

Once you have completed your audit, upload the Community Resources Log to this discussion.

For your post, complete the following:

1. Share the demographic information for the community in which you live with your peers. This should include:

   Population.
   Ethnic breakdown.
   Socioeconomic information.
   Education levels.
   Primary industries or sources of income.

2. Describe the resources available in your area.

   How difficult, in general, was it to research and identify these resources?
   Do you feel they adequately meet the needs of your community? If not, what steps will you need to take to ensure that your clients have the resources they need?
