The report must use appropriate theory and literature to support the following:
· Reflection on at least 3 aspects of your involvement in your group work, event management process and the event execution
· A critical assessment of the work you undertook, the event outcomes and what you could have improved on
· Consideration on how you may take forward your experiences and learning from your event and group work and apply it to your future practice in Events Management
Scenario: Mom (Non-Purp Doesn’t Believe There Is Sex Abuse Occurring).
You are investigating a case in which the Boyfriend (BF) of the mother is alleged to being sexually abusing the mother’s 7 and 6 year old sons. The school called it in saying the children are constantly falling asleep at school, acting sexual with the other children in school, sexually flirting with the teachers, and peeing on themselves.

That he ‘cuddles’ with the boys when they are watching TV making them uncomfortable. They also say mom works at night (3rd shift) and he watches them and comes upstairs to play games with them. The games include tag like ‘you grab my penis and you are it, then I grab your penis and you are it’. You go out to the home and the BF denies every doing this and if the boys are sexually acting out in school that he will take care of it later today. You interview the mother separately the same day and she says she doesn’t believe the allegations and the boys are jealous she has a man.

She says yes but that was when he was 30 and it was with this “16 year old slut girl and he wouldn’t do this to my boys because he is not Gay because he has sex with me daily”. How do you respond and how do you ensure the children remain safe?

For this assignment, you may find it helpful to review the Youtube video that is attached in the word document. Excel will be needed for this assignment. Show all your work.
Let Yt be the sales during month t (in thousands of dollars) for a photography studio. Let Pt be the price charged for the portraits during month t. The data will be in the file named week 4 assignment chapter 12 problem that is attached. Use regression to fit the following model to these data:
Yt = a + b1Yt−1 + b2Pt + et
This equation indicates that last month’s sales and the current month’s price are explanatory variables. The last term, et, is an error term.
For your assignment, complete the following:
Part A: If the price of a portrait during Month 21 is $10, what would you predict for sales in Month 21?
Part B: Does there appear to be a problem with autocorrelation of the residual? Explain your answer.
In your Excel spreadsheet,
-Utilize the regression model.
-Utilize the support tool of Excel.
-Predict sales as described in Part A.
-Explain any problem as described in Part B
Use the information in chapter five on how to structure a group proposal. Take time to review the proposals for groups in school or community settings presented in Chapter 10 (Groups in school settings) and Chapter 11 (groups in community settings).
Search for “substance abuse counseling activities” or some variation thereof and find a group activity suitable for a counseling group in a treatment facility. If you have an idea already you may use that. Create a group proposal and submit it on BlackBoard. This is a proposal for a single group activity. In addition to describing that activity and addressing the rationale behind it, you are to describe your imaginary group. How do you screen them? What characteristics would group members have? Overall what techniques will you use in your groups? What evaluation methods might you employ?
