My smart padlet by Patricia Newman https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi en-us 2023-08-26 14:03:22 UTC 2023-10-12 04:52:33 UTC hello@padlet.com Tricia Newman pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2683523293 Hello all,

I am in the Mental Health and Wellness program to complete the education requirements for Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and to gain more information and practice to help others. My current role is Program Supervisor for Substance Use Services treatment program in a juvenile justice facility. I am a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) that supervises LCDC-Interns. 

My main reason for choosing Intro to Trauma as my first course was to learn how to be more effective with my clients as they have had a lot of trauma. Prior to starting this class, I recognized that I had been under a lot of stress this year and noticed trauma responses being triggered, therefore I am looking forward to learning more to help myself so that I can be more effective with others. 

A goal for this class is to be more aware of trauma responses in the interns I supervise and the youth I work with, as well as more awareness personally and to be able to offer more resources.  

A goal that I have had for several years has been to bring more nature into my counseling practice, whether as an LCDC or LPC.

They will transfer to adult parole upon their 19th birthday if they do not transfer to an adult correctional facility. 

One thing I hear the youth say is that they did not mean to pull the trigger or kill the person. I would like to know how the trauma of killing someone coupled with being told that they are a menace to society and being removed from society affects them. Yes, I have heard several of them say that they have been told by their judges or others that they are a menace to society. 

I want to be able to bring more happiness into the youth's life that I work with. I am blessed to work for an agency that has implemented a more trauma-informed philosophy. ]]> 2023-09-17 03:07:57 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2707125354 Reflection on Reference Guide for Mental Health Disorders pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2707131834 I found that the DSM-V-TR is my source for mental health disorders. In my last position, I worked in insurance-driven treatment and even though diagnosing is out of my scope of practice, I still used the DSM to discuss clients with my team. The DSM always overwhelms me. I feel that at some point in my life, I could have been diagnosed with many of the disorders. In the past, I used the DSM-V. I found some of the changes in the TR interesting and more informative. ]]> 2023-09-17 03:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2707131834 Reflection on Introduction pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2707133280 I struggled to learn the platform and posted an empty introduction several times. I found that I know a fair amount about mental health and wellness. I guessed high on all the statistics most likely because I tend to more people with mental health issues than not. I was able to do some self-reflection during the process to see just how unbalanced and overwhelmed I had become over the past year. It was insightful and a reminder that I needed to practice what I teach. ]]> 2023-09-17 03:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2707133280 Reflection on Developmental Discussion on Trauma pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2707134984 This was very helpful. I work in a trauma-informed agency with youth that have a lot of trauma. I have not been very effective as counselor and had been experiencing a lot of stress. I was able to work through some of that and gain some insight on how to approach the youth I work with, as well as the interns I supervise. I also gained some information on the agency I work for and how that will apply to my position. I have trained in trauma-informed care in the past and utilized the training. I am not sure what happened when I began my position, but it was great to get the reminders of how to show up trauma-informed. ]]> 2023-09-17 03:42:13 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2707134984 pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2707692648 2023-09-17 21:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2707692648 Reference Guide for Mental Health Disorders pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2709592575 2023-09-18 22:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2709592575 Averting Targeted School Violence pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2727743428 2023-10-01 22:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2727743428 School Violence pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2727743657 2023-10-01 22:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2727743657 Introduction pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2727749488 2023-10-01 22:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2727749488 pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2727749661 2023-10-01 22:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2727749661 Reflection on Crisis pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2737204421 This was my first experience working in a group and using google docs/slides. I struggled with formatting the slide, but figured it out. I asked for help. I learned a lot about crisis plans in the group project. There is a lot that goes into it. I had some idea because I have talked to people that helped in various crises.

One of my goals is to help in a crisis by offering 5NP Auricular Acupuncture for stress. I belong to an organization that has been to several natural disasters, as well as mass shootings and have been invited. I feel that this course gave me a better idea of what to expect. I was able to offer coping skills in a moment of crisis with a client while also modeling calm. One thing I might struggle with is just focusing on what is most important. However, I have been doing referrals since before I was a counselor in my role as peer support specialist. I enjoy developing relationships with those I work with, so it would be strange developing that relationship for only a shift.

I had a client earlier in the week spiraling due to losing his last friend in a police shooting. I did not feel I was effectively able to help the youth. I learned that some of what I did was listed in the resources and other ways I could have handled the situation. I often deal with clients in crisis as a substance use counselor. I have had clients in the past who are in crisis more than not. I am looking forward to putting some of what I learned into action, as well as sharing it with my interns. ]]> 2023-10-11 00:58:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2740853636 Developmental Discussion on Trauma pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2742862362 2023-10-12 03:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2742862362 pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2742901271 2023-10-12 03:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2742901271 pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2742903933 2023-10-12 03:41:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2742903933 Referral Process pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2742926404 When the client needs services not offered by the counselor or facility, referrals must be made. 
When there is a conflict of interest or dual relationship, referrals must be made.
When the client is being released from counseling, referrals should be made. 
The referral process is to find services that work with the client's finances, transportation, and any other considerations.
Preferably, an appointment should be made by the counselor so that it is set up for the client. ]]> 2023-10-12 04:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2742926404 Mental Health Crisis Services pnewman14 https://padlet.com/pnewman14/roezpbgfe69oabdi/wish/2742929666 Need Help?
