Please also <br />explain how the program aligns with the Town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro's Human Services Program <br />Results Framework and/or Orange County's BOCC Goals and Priorities (250 words or less). <br />Target Population <br />The program target population demographics table is included as an <br />attachement on the application cover page. Please download the excel <br />spreadsheet and fill out the demographic data in the table and then upload it <br />with your application. Provide one copy per program that you are requesting <br />funding for. <br />Program Cost <br />This cost per individual must reflect the total program budget divided by the <br />total number of program individuals in this application. <br />The program provides classes to 16 parents (all populations) at-risk for child <br />abuse and neglect. In 2021-2022, 1,000 children were reported abused or <br />neglected in Orange County which is a 21.19% increase from the previous year <br />and 95 children remain in custody (Duncan et al., 12/2023). The long-term <br />effects of COVID-19 on individual mental health and family systems have led to <br />issues increasing these numbers over the past years (Nguyen, 08/2021; & Reali <br />et al., 11/2022). Three courses are 12 weeks for 1.5-hour classes held in Chapel <br />Hill and in Hillsborough accessible to families and in cases of pandemic virtually. <br />The curriculum is evidence-informed and addresses issues of trauma prevention. <br />Barriers are reduced by providing snacks, childcare, and transportation. The <br />program aligns with Chapel Hill and Carrboro goals by increasing livelihoods <br />security by addressing poverty issues contributing to neglect, ensuring a high <br />quality of life through the absence of violence by preventing family violence, <br />improving health outcomes by increasing new healthy lifestyle behaviors, <br />promoting well-being, and increasing life skills. The program aligns with Orange <br />County goals and priorities by contributing to a network of basic human services <br />that promotes family well-being. The program also improves the quality of life for <br />individuals by treating trauma and teaching resiliency to protect from future <br />issues occurring or how to heal faster if they do occur. The program contributes <br />to society by helping clients make healthy choices, heal from trauma, and prevent <br />violence, poverty, substance abuse, and homelessness from being generational <br />cycles. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: A5B4FFD3-9664-4EA0-9937-6709C85D11FD
