A logic model is a tool that can be used in planning a program. Using a logic model, social workers can
systematically analyze a proposed new program and how the various elements involved in a program relate to
each other. At the program level, social workers consider the range of problems and needs that members of a
particular population present. Furthermore, at the program level, the logic model establishes the connection
between the resources needed for the program, the planned interventions, the anticipated outcomes, and ways
of measuring success. The logic model provides a clear picture of the program for all stakeholders involved.
To prepare for this Assignment, review the case study of the Petrakis family, located in this week’s resources.
Conduct research to locate information on an evidence-based program for caregivers like Helen Petrakis that
will help you understand her needs as someone who is a caregiver for multiple generations of her family. You
can use the NREPP registry. Use this information to generate two logic models for a support group that might
help Helen manage her stress and anxiety.
First, consider the practice level. Focus on Helen’s needs and interventions that would address those needs
and lead to improved outcomes. Then consider the support group on a new program level. Think about the
resources that would be required to implement such a program (inputs) and about how you can measure the
outcomes
