    Write a 5–7-page research paper on one of the topics from your reading related to stress reactions.  You may not write about stress management techniques, only about stress reactions…i.e. family stress, children as caregivers, single parent families, etc.  You could write about a theory of stress that is briefly mentioned in your reading that you want to research and learn more about.  Or you can write a paper about some leading stress researchers such as Robert Sapolsky, Ph.D., Lazarus, Ph.D. and Folkman, Ph.D. or many others. If you choose a person to write about, write about their research, not their personal life.  In other words, don’t write a biography. What research did they do and why was it noteworthy?

    Include a minimum of four peer reviewed articles that are cited in the body of your paper and listed in the References section.

  • “Theories of Prevention for Addressing Unemployment among People with Severe Mental Health Illness in Detroit, Michigan”

    This assignment is for Part 3 of a more extensive portfolio. My social change portfolio focuses on the prevention of unemployment among people with severe mental health illness (SMI) in my community (Detroit, Michigan). 
    In my social change class, we are focusing on building out this portfolio one week at a time. We are in week 5/10. I have written the introduction, Part 1: Scope and Consequences, and Part 2: Social-Ecological Model. I will attach the portfolio and the references needed for this week’s assignment. (Please feel free to add any additional references that you can find that fit my topic). 
    Theories of prevention can guide practitioners in studying a health or societal problem and in planning solutions (National Cancer Institute, 2005). For this Assignment, you will consider which theories are applicable to the community problem you are investigating, and you will evaluate the implications for solutions.
    To Prepare:
    Review and incorporate the previous feedback you received from your instructor and colleagues on the Introduction, Parts 1 and 2 of your Social Change Portfolio and finalize these parts for final review.
