This first assignment gave me a chance to reflect on my prior knowledge of trauma and grief, and even led me to open my notebook from a class in 2019 to gather information for my introduction post. It was nice to review some things that may have slipped out of my mind over the years and to know what areas I will need to improve my knowledge in. In a way, it started the foundation for my graduate school career. 
"This course will be very beneficial in the position of a youth community impact coordinator. Having experience and knowledge in crisis management, trauma, and group facilitating will help me thrive in communities and help our youth. As a youth community coordinator, it will be important to implement these experiences and the aspects learned in this course in future programs, projects, and communities."

This assignment was fun to do. I felt that I was refreshing my memory in the disorders I learned about in some undergrad classes and even learned more as I did research. Working with excel also gave me the opportunity to practice that skill on the computer. I know I will save this reference guide and use it in my future role, and I even showed my family how neat it was to just have around. ]]> 2022-02-14 05:01:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lgallegos51/cmsihjsq35vojm2x/wish/2045448160 Unit 2 Assignment 2 lgallegos51 https://padlet.com/lgallegos51/cmsihjsq35vojm2x/wish/2045460991 Developmental Discussion on Trauma.
These discussion boards gave me the chance to get out of a comfort zone and watch something I knew would be uncomfortable and heartbreaking. Although it was difficult to watch the Trials of Gabriel Fernandez, I learned a lot about child abuse and the many failures of child protection services that should not have happened. I was able to watch this documentary and reflect on what I learned from it. The resources in this unit were very helpful and informational in trauma and the many types. I enjoyed reading the ACE Studies and looking more into their demographic statistics. ]]> 2022-02-14 05:12:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lgallegos51/cmsihjsq35vojm2x/wish/2045460991 Unit 3 Assignment 1 lgallegos51 https://padlet.com/lgallegos51/cmsihjsq35vojm2x/wish/2086991036 Psychological First Aid Online Certification.
The videos and interactive course play through was very helpful. Disasters can happen anywhere at anytime. I really enjoyed the different people and scenarios in this online certification as it did not just focus primarily on one person or group who may need help in times of crises. Learning how to aid victims during times of crises will be important in my line of work as a mental health professional.

Working as a group gave me the opportunity to communicate professionally with my other classmates. It also gave me a chance to get to know them a bit more and research this topic of dating violence together. My group and I were able create a well put together presentation and learn how to research a crisis prevention plan.

This assignment gave me the opportunity to analyze the specific parts their case study and essentially break it down to three main components: Achieving a Relationship, Breaking Down the Problem, and Commitment to Action. Using the ABC Model of Crisis Intervention, I was able to put myself in a position as a counselor and analyze a case that could be seen in my future role in the mental health field. ]]> 2022-03-09 22:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lgallegos51/cmsihjsq35vojm2x/wish/2087019031 Graph on unmet need for mental health services (2021) lgallegos51 https://padlet.com/lgallegos51/cmsihjsq35vojm2x/wish/2087039521 "Despite upward trends in the receipt of mental health services, the percentage of adults with perceived unmet need for mental health services also trended upward across all racial and ethnic groups" (Conroy et al., 2021).]]> 2022-03-09 22:58:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lgallegos51/cmsihjsq35vojm2x/wish/2087039521 Mental Health Awareness lgallegos51 https://padlet.com/lgallegos51/cmsihjsq35vojm2x/wish/2087044383 2022-03-09 23:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lgallegos51/cmsihjsq35vojm2x/wish/2087044383 Referral Processes lgallegos51 https://padlet.com/lgallegos51/cmsihjsq35vojm2x/wish/2087060926 Criteria to be considered for referral:

Our culturally diverse community may hold different and unique needs that health services should accommodate for.  
Some questions to ask: 
Do we ask families how we can meet their needs?
Are we examining shelters and other items for cultural relevancy? Have we made efforts to collaborate with under-served communities?
