I am in the Mental Health and Wellness program because I believe that mental health is vital for everyone. We are now in a point in our history where mental health is not a joke but something that is being taken very seriously. I want to use my degree in order to help those around me and to help me be a better mother and wife. My husband and I evenutally want to open a community resource center and this will help me to help those in our community. I will put resources in here and positive quotes. I want to better understand trauma and put that with my own experience of trauma in order to be a better individual and better to those around me. I hope you find all of this information helpful and remember that You are Worthy!]]> 2023-08-28 10:24:25 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2674981063 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2674981901 2023-08-28 10:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2674981901 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2674982616 2023-08-28 10:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2674982616 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2705947506 2023-09-15 13:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2705947506 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2705954551 We had to watch a documentary and reflect on the trauma and these two weeks were a struggle for me and it took me 4 days to get through the 4 episode documentary of Unabomber: In His Own Words. You can find this on Netflix, but this assignment made me truly start to look at my own trauma. I had compassion for Ted and I truly looked at his life and realized that so many oppurtunities were missed to get him the help he so desperately needed. I thought back to my life and the traumas I had been through and how nobody really saw the signs until my actions were so loud that nobody could ignore them any longer. We have to do better for our society, we have to do better at identifying trauma, treating trauma, and not shaming those who have been through trauma. We have to take these traumas seriously and provide all the resouces and help that we can to anybody that is suffering. ]]> 2023-09-15 13:46:35 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2705954551 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707541262 You will find a google document that has a quick reference guide and that has different types of mental health and resources at the national, local and state level. This guide took me a very long time, but I also wanted to make sure that this could be a one stop shop that someone could look at and immediately find help. There are many local resources for those who suffer form a mental health disorder and their families. These can seem overwhelming and you may feel like you will be judged but I promise that you will not and their are people who want to help and who will help you, but you have to ask for that help. Please if you need help or a family member, friend or anyone you know needs help; please reach out to an organization and let them guide you and help you through this process. ]]> 2023-09-17 17:12:20 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707541262 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707543000 2023-09-17 17:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707543000 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707544678 This is where you can see the Code of Ethics for counselors, beacuse you need to know the ethics that surround those professionals that you intrust with your most vulnerable moments. This Code is what governs all counselors no matter who or where they work. Please know that if a counselor does not abide by these then they can be reported and in some instances persecuted for their acitons. ]]> 2023-09-17 17:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707544678 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707545298 2023-09-17 17:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707545298 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707545834 2023-09-17 17:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707545834 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707546745 2023-09-17 17:20:57 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707546745 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707547155 2023-09-17 17:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2707547155 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2710968393 This was an intereseting course to take and helped me have a better understanding of how to help those after a disaster or an event in our community. This truly was an eye opening course and one that I was thankful to take because it has allowed me in daily life to see things in a different light. ]]> 2023-09-19 14:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2710968393 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2732651715 This semester brought a unique assignment because I had to work with a group to make a plan for crisis intervention for domestic violence victims and their families. This was very personal as I am very open about my past and my past stuggle as a victim of domestic violence. Ironically, the week that this assignment was due I helped my sister escape a DV situation. I was able to use the resources that I had gathered in that assignment and through this padlet to find her help in my area. I do not favor group projects, but this one was enlightening and helpful and I enjoyed the process. ]]> 2023-10-04 19:08:08 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2732651715 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2732654124 This hit home because of the story I chose which was DV. I am a big supporter of DV victims and I eventually want to counsel DV victims and their families. I know the fear these individuals feel and the shame and I want them to have a place to share their story. This assignment took me some time and I truly dug deep to think about what would I have wanted from a counselor when I was going through all of my struggles. This semester has been full of unique assignments that have slowly allowed me to heal some more from my own truama and past. ]]> 2023-10-04 19:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2732654124 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2732658804 This is myself, my husband and our children. ]]> 2023-10-04 19:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2732658804 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2732661795 2023-10-04 19:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2732661795 texaspeanutgallery https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2732664810 My husband and I have a PI firm and a security firm that can help you escape a domestic violence situation.

We need to understand that not everybody was raised the same and we need to be understanding of the differences that we have because that is what makes us unique. We need to take into account social and cultural differences and even realize that there are certain resources that are geared for different cultures. Cultural competence is imperative as a trauma counselor because you will have clients from all walks of life and they all deserve peace and help. We as humans also need to have cultual competence in our every day life. We need to be understanding and compassionate and instead of degrading people for being different, we need to try and learn about their life because in the end we may not be so different from one another. ]]> 2023-10-04 19:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/texaspeanutgallery/bo7j9wk5uunky0iu/wish/2732672993
