A professional goal I have for myself is to become a working clinician within three years. I personal goal I am working on is learning stress management skills. What I hope to get out of this course it to be knowledgeable about crisis and trauma in order to help my future clients.]]> 2023-01-31 02:36:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2462349376 hmcfatridge https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2462352708 The American counseling code of ethics is a guide for how counselors should conduct themselves with clients, peers and the greater society. I will use this code of ethics everyday as a counselor to maintain professionalism and follow an ethical practice.]]> 2023-01-31 02:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2462352708 hmcfatridge https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2462360170 In this assignment we introduced ourselves and explained our previous knowledge of trauma. Reflecting on this assignment my knowledge of trauma before this course was limited to my own experiences with trauma and not the knowledge level I need as a LPC.This assignment also showed me that American society has a mental health crisis that we are not currently treating properly. ]]> 2023-01-31 02:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2462360170 hmcfatridge https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2473129566 While doing research for the resource guide, I learned that America has a mental health crisis. In the resources guide we sectioned off different kinds of mental illness and sectioned that further into specific diagnosis. Many of the diagnosis such as substance abuse disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder are directly caused by trauma. I also learned that the majority of mental illness are genetic and are likely to affect a patient's physical health as well.]]> 2023-02-08 09:34:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2473129566 hmcfatridge https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2473139884 Trauma is caused by many different things in our life, adverse experiences in childhood have lifelong consequences. For the discussion on trauma, I watched the documentary "The Wisdom of Trauma" Dr. Gabe went over multiple types of traumas such as adverse childhood experiences, environmental trauma and generational trauma. He also discussed how a big event does not need to be present for trauma to appear. A baby crying at night and parents ignoring it is traumatic for the baby. Childrens who's brains have been traumatized are less developed than those who have not experienced adversity.]]> 2023-02-08 09:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2473139884 hmcfatridge https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2500259548 As I was taking the psychology fist aid course, I realized that this was a need that I have never thought about for this in a natural disaster. As stated by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, Psychological First Aid (PFA) is an evidence-informed modular approach to help children, adolescents, adults, and families in the immediate aftermath of disaster and terrorism. Individuals affected by a disaster or traumatic incident, whether survivors, witnesses, or responders to such events, may struggle with or face new challenges following the event. PFA was developed by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network and the National Center for PTSD, with contributions from individuals involved in disaster research and response (National child traumatic stress network,2020). Emotions and stress are at the height during natural disasters and Terriots events, worries about what happens next and small concerns become amplified, so having mental health professionals on sight can help the survivors, who need it.]]> 2023-03-01 22:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2500259548 hmcfatridge https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2500263378 My groups crisis prevention and threat assisgnment was on bullying. Bullying can happen in person or online. The assignment was to create a prevention and threat assesment plan. Schools need to have trainings for children and staff to be able to identify bullying and the specific steps that their schools need to use. Who contacts the trainers? What does an individual who is being bullied need to do to, what forms to fill out, etc. ]]> 2023-03-01 22:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2500263378 hmcfatridge https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2501548978 The ABC model of crisis intervention starts with achieving contact and building a good relationship with the client through eye contact, empathy, body language. The next step is to break down the problem, ask what happened, how the client feels. Then the last step is to commit to action, what does the couselor and client need to do to help improve the situation?]]> 2023-03-02 18:28:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2501548978 hmcfatridge https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2503732903 Psychiatry.org - DSM-5 Fact Sheets- download DSM 5 fact sheets of changes.

Cultural competency means to understand each client's unique cultural experiences and take that into consideration when working with them. It is important as mental health professionals that we respect cultural traditions, standards and customs of our clients and not try to insert our beliefs into how a client lives their lives. Every client and counselor exist within contexts of systemic privilege and oppression, and these dynamics are present in the counseling session, just as they are in other settings. The belief that cultures is not relevant to counseling, or “has not come up,” is thereby nonsensical. Issues of power and privilege seep into all aspects of professional counselors’ and clients’ lived experiences, making the recognition and appreciation of cultural dynamics critical for effective work with clients and students (O'Hara C & et.al.,2021).]]> 2023-03-05 15:18:20 UTC https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2503997846 hmcfatridge https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2504002536 2023-03-05 15:27:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2504002536 hmcfatridge https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2504002990 2023-03-05 15:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/hmcfatridge/eohom8o8ipanzey8/wish/2504002990
