Elaborate on your practice-level model
The logic model above outlines an integrated approach to addressing the mental health needs of homeless veterans within housing programs. The primary problems identified include inadequate mental health support, difficulty in maintaining stable housing, and high rates of PTSD, depression, and substance abuse. Veterans need access to mental health care, ongoing case management, and a supportive community to address these issues.
To tackle these problems, the proposed interventions focus on providing on-site mental health services, case management, and peer support groups. These strategies aim to create a supportive environment where veterans can access necessary resources without stigma. Short-term outcomes include increased engagement with mental health services and improved housing retention rates, while long-term outcomes aim for sustained mental health stability and comprehensive care models.

Elaboration of Practice-Level Model:
This logic model focuses on addressing the complex needs of drug-exposed infants and their families in the NICU setting. Interventions such as specialized medical care, therapeutic support, and developmental assessments aim to stabilize the infant’s health and mitigate the impact of substance exposure. Providing emotional support and education to parents helps reduce stress and foster positive parent-infant interactions (Behnke, M., & Smith, V. C., 2013). Case management and care coordination are crucial for navigating healthcare systems, enhancing access to necessary resources, and improving long-term health outcomes.
Research highlights the importance of early intervention in mitigating developmental delays and improving long-term outcomes for infants exposed to substances (Behnke & Smith, 2013). Supportive parent education and engagement are also key to promoting infant health and parent-infant bonding (Lester & Tronick, 2004).
