Human Services Organization Structure
Not what you're looking for?
This hypothetical organization is entitled Prevention of Child Endangerment. The goal of this program is to prevent any child abuse (whether it be physical, verbal, mental, sexual, or any other type of abuse possible) that is suspected.
I think matrix structures would be the best for this type of organization. This would be a blend of both functional and divisional departmentalization. I would say that there needs to be an administration department, an individual counseling department, a group counseling department, a liaison department, and a legal authority department. Tasks would then be divided up by client characteristics, different programs needed, and the different areas that the clients reside in.
My section is to present on planning and designing the program and organization.
Any help will be very much appreciated and as always thank you for your input.
