Imagine you are a human services professional working in a child care center. Under direction of your supervisor, you have been asked to see if you can find out why a child seems to be developing more slowly, than is typical for her age. In your initial post. Identify a theory that may explain why this is happening. In list, 1 to 2 factors that may be impeding her development as it relates to that theory. Rubric and guidelines will be in photo below no need to do peer responses. Please and thank you

I have done steps 1 and 3. I need step 2 done which entails ten bullet points about low-income people that make too much money to be on Medi-Cal, but do not earn enough to pay high premiums, deductibles, and co-payments. These people may not be able to afford their healthcare costs and rent, but have to choose medical care or a place to live. In the bullet points (1 to 2 pages) must have in text citations. One of these must be a peer reviewed article. Also, my last assignment on here is the first part of this assignment. You can use the references listed on there for the bullet points. Also, I will need a reference page in APA style. If possible, I would like the same writer as last time. However, if he/she is not available please make it consistent with the same writer. My professor told me the last paper was good but said that the references page “needed work.” Some or all of the same references can be used as last time, but one has to be peer reviewed article if you use different ones. The points I want to make in the bullet points (3-5 sentences each) include low-income people not being able to afford both rent and medical care. Premiums and deductibles need to be lowered. The rich often do not have high premiums and deductibles even though they are the ones that can afford it. Please review the last assignment “Affordable Healthcare” on here to give you an idea of how to write it. Text me with any questions 714 853 5419. Thank you

Questions: As Christians our point of view on suicide begins with an affirmation of faith that nothing, including suicide, separates us from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39). What are various levels of prevention? Read the article by Bazley et al (2019), in your opinion what is the most important view they presented? How can we use the Christian world view in prevention programs?
