Your recommendation in the policy brief you presented, in Topic 5, has been accepted by the committee, taken through the legislative process, and is now ready for implementation. Create an action plan for implementation. Once you have your ideas outlined you will prepare an implementation presentation for the legislator to communicate to all stakeholders. Your 10 slide presentation should include:
Any stakeholders (any individual or group that would be impacted by the policy)
Required resources and who provides them (what is needed to implement the policy)
Challenges that might be encountered
Time Frame (time frame should be reasonable)
Evaluation processes ( how will you ensure the policy is effective)
Summarize how agencies, personnel, and public involved in the implementation of the policy will be impacted. Include a description of the considerations needed for seamless implementation of the policy for all stakeholders.
Use three to five scholarly resources to support your explanations.
Include speaker notes below each content-related slide that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Expand upon the information included in the slide and do not simply restate it. Please ensure the speaker notes include 50-75 words per slide.

Group Experience
Analyze what you discovered about yourself while observing a counseling or support group. Please focus on the following when developing your response:
· Evaluation of group processes: Identify the type of group. To what extent were you able to assess group organization, and goals.
· Application of ethics: Was confidentiality amply discussed or reiterated at the onset of the group meeting, and to what extent did the facilitator gauge the members’ understanding? Was the setting appropriate to facilitate confidentiality?
· Effective group leadership: Assess the facilitator’s style and application of group management techniques. How does this compare to your increased knowledge of clinical processes associated with group therapy? If there was a co-leader, describe your observation of roles and cohesiveness.
· Personal reflection: Using anonymous examples, describe how insight of this process might influence your theoretical perspective, facilitation style, and appreciation of group work. How does this compare to points raised in the 2016 article by Weiss and Rutan.

Journal on group simulation
In 450-500 words, discuss your experience in the self-help simulation this week. If you facilitated this week, discuss what you liked, disliked, learned, and felt. If you were a group member, discuss what it was like trying to change your identified behavior. Include any internal struggles with changing your behavior. Also discuss what you liked, disliked, or learned from the facilitator’s approach. You do not need to use APA style, but I will score on grammar and mechanics

I am the facilitator during this power point. We met to discuss the power point and who was going to do what. We also research for the presentation and got information. A lot of communication went on for this power point and as a team communication plays a big part with our team because we all work and have different schedules and some of us are married meaning that we can only meet during certain hours. We did our first group meeting at UOP and also through text and emails.

We talked about the high and lows that a person goes through, although that seems funny the high from cocaine is an all time high but the low is in fact so low it can deteriorate your life and kill you. What stood out to me is how common this drug is used and it come to no surprise because I’m aware of what it does to the user and also how it destroys families, but the negatives do not seem to out weigh the positives with this drug. During our meeting we talked about how famous people such as Tim Allen, Whitney Houston, Thomas Edison, Chris Farley, Len Bias and the list goes on all had deaths relating to cocaine use. Not only were they effected but also their family and we saw Whitney’s daughter fall in the same footsteps of her mother and even died of a drug overdose. Cocaine use is also more common and how its portrayed in movies, to music, and how frequently you see celebrities busted with it I feel it is becoming almost socially acceptable and this is a problem.
