Safe education environment for gays and lesbians : a plan to implement GLBT youth education in schools : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis project is to develop an implementation plan in order to complete the final steps in the process of creating the new program SEEGL, an educational program aimed at combating GLBT youth suicide. The program implementation framework, described in Netting, Kettner, and McMurty's (2008) textbook Social Work Macro Practice, will be applied. Before the discussion of the implementation plan, the problem ofGLBT suicide will be identified, the need for the program will be assessed, and the details of the program will be explained. The action plan will then be explained, beginning first with a discussion of the goals, and followed by the outcome and process objectives. Both the outcome and process objectives will include specific time frames, target populations, specified results, and criteria for measuring the completion of the objective. Lastly, a detailed plan for evaluating the program will then be explained.
