July 24, 2023July 24, 2023 Discipline: Other

Please follow these instructions to get to the data for your county from the U.S. Census Bureau. Be sure to look at the data about the mean income and the cultural, ethnic, and racial groups that live in your area. As you review the data, consider what other information is important for you to know as a human services professional working in the area of child and family welfare. This data will be explored in this week’s discussion.

  1. Go to the U.S. Department of Commerce Census Bureau site. (https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045216)
  2. Then, in the search box in the upper left, enter your state. This will populate Quick Facts about your state.
  3. Then, enter your county. If you choose, you can enter your city as well for more specific information.

In addition, review the data on children in your county at the Kids Count website by following these directions:

  1. Go to the Kids Count Data Center site (https://datacenter.aecf.org/locations)
  2. Click on your state.
  3. On the left navigation, under “Locations”, click “By County” or “By City.”
  4. From here, you can review the data for various topics/indicators.

Please respond to the following:

  • Identify what county (and/or city, if you choose to use that data) you live in, and then give a demographic account of the population that comprises your location. Be sure to include an overview of the cultural, ethnic, and racial groups that live in your area.
  • As you review your county or city’s statistics, consider what other information is important for us to know as human services professionals working in the area of child and family welfare.
  • Pick a cultural group (based on the readings this week) that is different from your own and discuss this culture’s communication style, values, and religious beliefs. How is this culture different and similar to your own culture?
  • Describe a way human service professionals can provide culturally sensitive services.
  • What is family resilience and what things help a family become resilient?
