research two specific diversion programs in use today in two different states, and conduct a program review. Before starting, ensure that you fully understand what is and what is not a diversion program. You are researching diversion programs that divert the youth from the formal system; do not select programs that occur within the formal system (i.e. probation, detention, training schools, etc.). Also, ensure that you locate specific programs (i.e. Sacramento 601 Diversion Project), not just information regarding a type of diversion program (i.e. family crisis intervention program). In your paper, use the below questions as a guideline to get you started; depending on the program selected and information available, you may include additional information. Each response must be written in complete sentences, with correct grammar and punctuation, and in essay format.

This assignment is designed to see if you are reading and understanding the material from your textbook and learning modules, so these should be the sources you are citing in your work. You should not need to do research from additional resources unless the question specifically asks you to do so; you should not be Googling the answers for these questions.
Please review the APA module under the “Getting Started” area if you need assistance. As a criminal justice professional, it is imperative that you learn the finer aspects of writing. Citing and referencing are part of the gradable criteria for your weekly work.

Read Thinking Critically 7.2 Olympus – Paying the price for doing what’s right? and Thinking Critically 7.3 Theranos – Chasing a Unicorn and watch these videos about whistle-blowers. The fall of Theranos and several other companies were based on whistle-blowers who came forward. Many of you have watched movies about whistle-blowers like Erin Brockovich or Karen Silkwood. These additional resources provide insight on the history and perceptions of whistle-blowers. Many people do not think they will be a whistle-blower but find themselves in an unfortunate ethical position facing a line in the sand that they feel they can’t cross. Others take the position they don’t want to jeopardize their career or get involved because they need their job to pay their bills and take care of their families. The questions are what motivates whistle-blowers to come forward knowing that their career and reputation could suffer and could you be a whistle-blower?
For this assignment, please prepare a written analysis (minimum of 3 full pages of discussion) explaining both sides of this issue and answering the following questions. Please be sure to support your opinions with details from the learning segments or scholarly research with proper citation.
Summarize the history of whistle-blowing including how the laws have changed. Have these changes in the law served to further protect whistle-blowers? Explain.
You are faced with knowing that a new program in your company is based on faulty data. Would you report it knowing you could lose your job? Would it change your position if the program could affect people’s lives like Theranos?
How can companies distinguish between whistle-blowers or just a disgruntled employee who doesn’t like new programs or technologies?
What lessons should companies and investors learn from these cases?
Explain what potential changes you would make to identify a more ethical solution for this issue.

1. List
and describe the four basic financial statements.
The
four basic financial statements include the balance sheet, which presents a
record of an organization’s assets, liabilities, and net assets or equity at a
specific point in time. It is a financial snapshot of the business at a certain
date (Cleverley & Cleverley, 2018, p. 212). The statement of operations
also known as the income statement or income statement of revenues and expenses
details the organization’s revenues and expenses during the accounting period
usually for one year (Cleverley & Cleverley, 2018, p. 212). The statement
of changes in net assets also known as the statement of changes in
shareholder’s equity lists how net assets or equity changed during the period
(Cleverley & Cleverley, 2018, p. 212). The statement of cash flow is the final
primary financial statement. It describes how cash was generated and used
(Cleverley & Cleverley, 2018, p. 212).
2. What
are some ways in which accounting for healthcare organizations (HCOs),
especially not for-profit (NFP) ones, tend to differ from accounting in other
industries?
For-profit corporations keep a balance sheet
that reflects the assets the corporation owns, which can be distributed as
retained earnings to shareholders. Meanwhile, a non-profit keeps a statement of
financial position, which reflects the assets on hand that can be used to
further the mission of the organization. Equally, a for-profit uses its
accounting system to track net income, whereas a non-profit track the excess of
revenues over expenditures (Masters, 2019). For-profit companies track revenue
and expenses typically related to the sale of products and services in a
general ledger, which is a single, self-balancing account that represents the
business activity of a single entity. A nonprofit doesn’t sell goods and
services for a profit that can be tracked within an ordinary chart of accounts
in a general ledger. Normally, a nonprofit’s revenue is made up of donations
and grants. Hence, a nonprofit’s accounting system is usually a series of
general ledgers, or funds, which enable the organization to track revenue and
expenses from where it all began (Masters, 2019).
3. What
are the primary responsibilities of a financial manager?
The
most important responsibility of a financial manager is effectively making
financial decisions. The rising importance of financial and cost criteria in
healthcare decision making is a factor creating the need for more knowledge of
financial information (Cleverley & Cleverley, 2018, p. 4). Financial
managers are responsible for the financial health of an organization. They
produce financial reports, direct investment activities, and develop strategies
and plans for the long-term financial goals of their organizations. Financial
Executives International categorized financial management as either
controllership or treasurer ship (Cleverley & Cleverley, 2018, p. 7).
4. What
are the primary uses of financial information?
The
primary uses of financial information are evaluating the financial conditions
of an entity, evaluating stewardship within an entity, assessing the efficiency
of operations, assessing the effectiveness of operations, and determining the
compliance of operations with directives (Cleverley & Cleverley, 2018, p.
5).

Suicide prevention therapy as related to life stage

The article below details the use of Constructivist Therapy to aid a college student with Depression and Suicidal Ideation. There is much debate in the clinical world regarding the effectiveness of Constructivist Therapies as opposed to Empiricist Psychotherapies regarding treatment and prevention of suicide. I will throw another thought into this debate and add that age is a factor to consider when choosing how you will approach a suicidal patient.
In this post, I will ask that you debate how effective you believe Constructivist Therapy would be on the following stages of life:
1. Childhood (0-17)
2. College age/ Early Career (18-34)
3. Middle Age/ Developed Career (35-64)
4. Retired/Older Adult (65-Death)
In your responses (should be four paragraphs or bullet points), please include at least 3 key terms from the chapter and back up your positions with content from the readings.
