The introduction to Crisis & Mental Health class allowed me to understand what I know and what I need to learn regarding the crisis, trauma, and mental health.  This assignment also allowed me to meet my other classmates and learn about their backgrounds.  It was a great way for me to get excited about starting back to school.

This assignment allowed me to research each specific mental health disorder. My learning style is kinesthetic and visual so learning my doing is the best way for me to retain information. During this assignment I was able to watch videos ,take notes, research for additional information and create this spreadsheet which are all ways that I enjoy learning. I will also have this guide for future reference.

This is a link to all the resources that I have used during this course. This resource will be a valuable reference tool as I continue in my learning and my degree plan. I will also use it during my profession as a source when I need additional information. Having all of the references in one location will allow me to access the information quickly and easily.

This original resource guide was created by me in a previous course at Angelo State University. I'm including is so everyone can see what my school district started with regarding community resources. Before I created this, we did not have anything that was used in district. I shared the work with all the counselors in my district five years ago with access to add and edit as needed.

This is the current resource Google Folder that our school district counselors are able to share with parents that provides local help in all areas. The original copy was one entire document, as one can see in a separate post. Our district counselors have revised it and then it was taken over by one of our student support counselors to maintain. The link to the folder has the resources broken down by categories so it is easier for counselors in my district to just share the information parents need for their students.

This online training provided me with valuable information and training. It provided techniques to use when responding to disasters in order to help individuals affected. The way the training was formatted with situations, exact words to use along with checkpoints helped me learn the information. I especially benefitted from practicing with the different situations. I would definitely recommend this training to anyone that may deal with disasters and helping people cope with their situations.

This graphic gives a summary of information regarding ACES, impact, and statistics. I included it as something that can be shared with anyone that is interested or for someone that has been affected by ACES .  Being a visual learner, this helped me get a grasp on Adverse Childhood Experiences.

The group project helped us look at Substance Abuse in a school setting to create a Crisis and Threat Assessment plan. Although I did not initially like the idea of a group project due to this being an online class, I am thankful in the end it was a group project. This was a huge assignment that allowed us to work together. I was able to learn from my group members and appreciate their point of view.

This was an assignment I procrastinated on out of all the assignments. I do not enjoy documentaries as I would prefer to read. I was able to do post 1 & 2 quickly though. After watching the movie, I did realize that there is value in seeing and hearing one's voice. This format enabled me to gather more data and information about the character. I was able to experience more of the trauma and understand it.
