he purpose of your Signature Assignment is to apply the forensic psychology diversity information obtained throughout the course to the development of a culturally competent forensic psychology program. Your program must address diversity, but you can choose which setting you want it to be implemented in. Examples include cultural diversity curriculum for law enforcement, culturally competent forensic interview format, remediation or intervention for a specific population (women, children, minorities, mentally ill, substance users, etc.).

Your program proposal should:

  1. Explain the purpose of your program, specifying the need for services. Identifying a current gap in services may be helpful, or you can model your program off an already developed approach.
  2. Provide background information (population served, problem it is addressing, etc.) about the program.
  3. Describe the organization of the program. Who will run it? Where will services be implemented? How long is the program? Who is incorporated (parents, family, community engagement)? If it is an intervention, provide the structure of the sessions.
  4. Develop a plan for implementation. How long will it take to implement?
  5. Discuss any ethical, legal, and moral concerns that may arise

Support your proposal with at least ten peer-reviewed references. Remember to incorporate your professor’s feedback from your outline submitted in Week 5 into your final proposal.

Lead is useful but also open to the metals that present health compilations. Exposure to lead is harmful to human well-being irrespective of their age.  However, studies show lead exposure is more poisonous to children than adults. In the US, lead exposure among children remains a concerning issue. The CDC and various state Departments of Health are coming up with prevention programs geared towards addressing the issue.  Regardless of its concentration levels in the blood, lead presents serious cognitive and health difficulties to children. Environmental factors are the major cause of lead exposure in children. Today, the most common lead poisoning source among the children population is dust and chips, mainly from deteriorating paint interior surfaces and lead pipes in old constructions. Hon, Fung, & Leung (2017) found that children who developed lead encephalopathy with a blood concentration of over 100g/dL lived in homes with deteriorating lead paints and lead pipes.
