As a member of the Executive Team for an organization serving vulnerable children, you have been tasked to prepare a report summarizing the development of a program to support these children. Your task as an experienced manager hoping to convince others to address the problem is to prepare an Issue. It is to be presented in a format that clearly outlines content marked with headings for the following sections: Topic: Dual Status Youth also known as Crossover Youth Nature of the Problem: facts on the nature of this problem, (incidence, prevalence, special needs of this population) Risk Factors: the individual, familial and community risks that have contributed to the problem, Policy Implications: relevant policy initiatives or laws around the problem, Case for Support: why it makes sense (and cents) for the community to support this population and fund programs to support the problem, Collaborating Systems: other systems that may also be serving these children, Protective Factors: the protective factors that may be lacking in the families of these children, Program Models: at least three program models or evidence-based interventions to improve the outcomes for these specific children and families in the child welfare system, Current Resources Available- resources already available to address the issue and support the population, and Prevention: discuss ways that the problem could have been prevented from affecting children altogether.
