Crisis and Trauma Resources by Alicia Burley https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus Alicia Burley-6332-DM1 en-us 2023-08-28 02:40:56 UTC 2023-10-11 00:10:25 UTC hello@padlet.com Introduction aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706596644 Greetings! I'm Alicia Burley and I am working towards earning a Master of Arts degree in Mental Health and Wellness Counseling. Upon completion, I plan to enroll in the LPC bridge program, with a goal of becoming Licensed Professional Counselor. In the future, I want to provide counseling and social work services to foster youth and young adults who have aged out of the foster care system. I hope to also provide some level of services to survivors of domestic violence. My goal for this course is to increase my knowledge of crisis and trauma, and how both impact lives.

The reference guide created serves as a great resource that includes quick definitions of depressive, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse, and psychotic disorders. I learned about the different subtypes of the disorders and each category noted that early intervention was important. One of the common reasons for early intervention was to prevent/minimize worsening of symptoms.]]> 2023-09-16 05:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706600502 aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706601040 This is a helpful resource as it explains bipolar disorder in detail, using audio/visual, and differentiates amongst the three types of bipolar disorder.]]> 2023-09-16 05:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706601040 aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706601456 The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) is a great resource as it provides a wealth of education for those newly diagnosed, recommendations for treatment, and provides information on online, local support groups.]]> 2023-09-16 05:40:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706601456 aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706601776 988 is a great resource as it is a crisis and suicide prevention hotline, that allows people of all ages to reach out and receive free support/resources.]]> 2023-09-16 05:41:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706601776 aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706602062 This video is resourceful as it demonstrates a breathing technique that can be used to reduce the anxiety of someone experiencing a panic attack.]]> 2023-09-16 05:43:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706602062 aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706602384 The Anxiety and Depression Association of America is a helpful resource as it has a find a provider tool, that helps individuals locate mental health professionals who have experience in anxiety and other related disorders.]]> 2023-09-16 05:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706602384 Additional Helpful Resource Links aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706602816 Narcotics Anonymous is a great resource to provide support to individuals with other substance use disorders. https://na.org/

There are requirements for academic and supervisor needs. There are also requirements for continuing education and experience. I hope to become a Licensed Professional Counselor one day and I will be responsible for following this Code.]]> 2023-09-16 05:50:55 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706603648 Reflection on Introductions and Assessing Prior Knowledge aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706605994 There is a great deal of trauma and mental health needs in the world. I did have some general knowledge about mental health, but not a lot of concrete information on trauma. One of my biggest take aways from reading the materials during the first week was that there is a large youth population in need of mental health treatment. I have experienced traumatic events as a child and as an adult. I also have several family members with mental health diagnoses. Most of them do not or have not sought mental health treatment.

I saw complex trauma and generational trauma from Cyntoia's grandmother, mother, and Cyntoia. I learned more about some of the signs of trauma and impact on individuals: academically, socially, and emotionally. Cyntoia was a sex trafficked child, who ended up committing murder. She ended up in prison for 15 years and I believe this added to her traumatic experiences.]]> 2023-09-16 06:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2706607696 35 Techniques Every Counselor Should Know aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737417409 Great list of different techniques counselors can use while working with individuals, at different stages.]]> 2023-10-09 00:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737417409 Reflection on Psychological First Aid Online Certificate aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737421572 This course was fantastic! After Hurricane Rita, there were many evacuees who came to Nacogdoches, Texas (where I went to college). This would have been a great certificate to have during that time. I would like to maintain this Psychological First Aid certificate and go out with different organizations if/when disaster hits our local area. The scenarios and and information on cultural competence will be very beneficial in my future.]]> 2023-10-09 00:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737421572 Reflection on Crisis Prevention and Threat Assessment Prevention and Culture Competence aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737421972 This group project was challenging, but very beneficial. My group was tasked with developing a crisis prevention and threat assessment plan for suicide and non-suicidal self-injury. I learned about different screening and assessment tools related to suicidal ideation, such as the SOARS risk assessment. I also learned about the different ways to incorporate cultural competence in this plan, such as: self awareness, knowledge of different culture groups in the area you are serving, and maintaining an empathetic and caring attitude.]]> 2023-10-09 00:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737421972 Reflection on ABC Model of Crisis Intervention aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737422576 The ABC Model was a challenging, yet beneficial assignment. I appreciated learning how to break down a person's problem/needs/issues. I had not thought about the different steps that a counselor and client would need to approach. I do think it's important to identify what the most important need is identified by the client, but also being sensitive to/aware of risks that might require immediate attention.]]> 2023-10-09 00:45:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737422576 Reflection on Crisis and Trauma Resource Padlet aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737423126 This padlet was one of the best assignments in this course!

I learned about several new resources during this course.]]> 2023-10-09 00:46:15 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737423126 Goal Setting aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737517474 Helpful article on goal setting, making goals SMART and positive.]]> 2023-10-09 03:12:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737517474 References aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2737520942 ADAA_Anxiety.

I would keep a list of providers and/or outreach to their insurance provider to find in network providers (if insured). If they need a higher level of care, I might refer them to the closest ER or psychiatric hospital who offers 24/7 assessments, and will determine the appropriate level of care. I could also reach out to the local Community Mental Health Center.]]> 2023-10-10 02:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2739086152 Local Emergency and Non-Emergency Support Services aburley2 https://padlet.com/aburley2/mo7tj1fxtfv2ryus/wish/2739101616 https://www.mhmrtarrant.org/crisis-services/
