Voices from the Community

Summary

When community members are allowed to participate in the planning and implementation process of a program, they are empowering themselves and their community. The CHAMP Family Program uses a collaborative programming approach with a focus on building the capacities of community members to deliver a family-based HIV prevention program. The CHAMP Program has a Collaborative Board that oversees all aspects of the research project. Using an empowerment framework, this article explores Community Board members' perspectives on their experience in working on CHAMP. Recommendations to researchers in the form of ten key ingredients for community collaboration are presented. The key points primarily focus on building trust with the community, recognizing community strengths, developing skills, building intragroup relations, and involving the community as partners from the beginning to the end.     

BPD and the Need for Community

SUMMARY

This chapter emphasizes the importance of a community/systems approach in managing the treatment of individuals with borderline personality disorder. The natural systems existing around patient, clinician and family are recognized, and we examine how working teams are built from these systems. The Borderline Center at McLean Hospital is used as an illustration of an organizational model that utilizes the concept of the “holding environment” (Winnicott, 1965) to provide comprehensive services to borderline patients and their families. As patients move through various levels of care and exhibit typical borderline symptomatology, the importance of communication and coordination on the part of the treatment team is highlighted. This chapter also will illustrate the essential ways in which patients, clinicians and families are able to join together in the treatment of this disorder, with special emphasis on the necessity of family involvement. We also will examine how the treatment teams provide the foundation for larger communities, which are critical to sustaining the ongoing work of its members.

中央与地方权力场域视野下的弱势群体权益保障

弱势群体权益保障是与该群体在不同范围的社会公共空间中,得到的特定的、具体形态的主体界定相联系的。只有区分中央与地方不同权力场域所对应的公共空间,才能明确不同群体所需要获得权益保障的"弱势"状况。在我国目前的现实条件下,体现为中央与地方政府之间形成了一个分工、协作的权益保障体系。     

Inter-organisational collaboration in family-centred practice: A framework for analysis and action

Inter-organisational collaboration in the human services is challenging because of the multiple and complex nature of the inherent potential sources of conflict. In this paper, a conceptual framework is advanced for assessing the sources of conflict at five levels of analysis: (i) inter-organisational; (ii) intra-organisational; (iii) inter-professional; (iv) inter-personal; and (v) intra-personal. While yet to be systematically tested, this conceptual framework may assist practitioners, managers and policy makers in the human services to enhance collaboration across organisational and sectoral boundaries.

文化变迁的个例分析——清代“改土归流”对黔中苗族文化的影响

清代“改土归流”对西南各民族文化产生了深远的影响。本文仅以“改土归流”对黔中苗族文化影响为例 ,从生产工具、生产技术操作、生产组织、生产资料结构、生活习俗等的变迁进行分析 ,认为文化变迁是一个逐渐的过程 ,在变迁中 ,不断吸收、消化外来文化 ,丰富发展本民族文化。而本民族固有的文化因子 ,有的因功能的丧失而被淘汰 ,有的功能发生了转向。因此 ,要认识了解一个民族文化的变迁历程 ,要从多层次、多视角加以分析。     

课例研究中教师合作的阻碍与改进措施

本文分析了在课例研究过程中阻碍教师合作的原因,主要集中在以下几个方面:教师在课例研究中"问题意识""责任意识"淡薄,教师存在孤立主义的教学观念。教师水平差异小、时间上的限制影响教师的合作,教师对课例研究中合作的效果抱有很低的期望。针对这些阻碍教师合作的原因,本文提出了以下改进措施:研究课的选课要围绕教师共同关注的问题进行,课例研究中要有明确分工,课例研究要让教师看到合作的效果。     

An investigation into E-business service in the UK telecommunication manufacturing industry

Nowadays, suppliers’ product and service quality has risen in importance with a manufacturer’s push to develop core competencies and capitalise on global operations and markets. However, due to the complex features of business service, suppliers are facing significant challenges in providing service effectively and developing business collaboration. This is further complicated by the development of information and communication technologies (ICTs). This paper thus attempts to investigate the factors influencing buyers’ e-service (EBS) requirements and the impact of these requirements on business collaboration. Based on a questionnaire survey with 500 UK telecommunication manufacturers, this research identifies buyers’ different EBS requirements for different types of suppliers and the impact of ICTs on EBS requirements. While for suppliers our findings provide insights into buyers’ EBS requirements, they can help buyers to develop appropriate supplier selection criteria. The findings also contribute to a better understanding of the development of buyer and supplier business collaboration.     

Assessing the value of family safety networks in child protective services: Early findings from Minnesota

The considerable number of families served continues to place systemic challenges on the child welfare system. Jurisdictions are turning to new strategies to increase family engagement in services and to leverage taxed or limited resources. Signs of Safety® is a strengths‐based and safety‐focused approach to child protection work that is grounded in partnership and collaboration. This exploratory pilot study with a referred participant sample used interviews with 26 parents and 32 safety network members to explore respondents' perceptions and use of a safety plan and safety network, core components of the Signs of Safety framework. Findings from this pilot investigation include insights about how safety plans and safety networks are established, how they function, and opportunities for enhancing their use with families with the goal of providing supports that increase the likelihood of continued safety for children after case closure. Preliminary results also suggest these tools may contribute to reduced re‐reports to child protection.
