This is for a career counseling course. In 5–8 pages, use the Hill and O’Brien (1999) Helping Skills Model (I have attached the file) to describe the strategies/interventions that you would use to support a client’s/student’s life work plan. The Helping Skills Model is outlined in the case study, Darren: The Case of the Unemployed Runaway.
First, develop a case study to use for this Application Assignment. Do not use “Darren” from the resources. In your case study, you should:
Briefly describe your client’s/student’s presenting problem or career concern, and
Relevant sociocultural factors that influence the case.
Next, following the Hill and O’Brien (1999) model,
describe the activities that you would engage in at Stage One of your career plan (Exploration, pp. 231–232).
What techniques would you use to develop rapport, express empathy, and encourage your client/student to “tell his or her story?”
How would you broach the role of sociocultural factors in your client’s/student’s career story?
For the second stage, Insight (p. 232), identify the areas that you would focus on to gain a deeper meaning and understanding of your client’s/student’s situation.
How would you identify his or her interests, abilities, and strengths?
What career assessments and/or computer-assisted programs might be of use?
What changes in the world-of-work might be relevant?
For the Action stage (p. 232), identify
The plans you would develop
How you would evaluate them, and
What follow up activity you would do with your client.
Please pay attention to ALL details in the assignment and in the template.
Remember to not use Darren

Select two components of suicide prevention and intervention approaches and programs that you think are important in forensic treatment settings, and consider why.

/in /by

In every forensic treatment setting, the forensic psychology professional must be aware of the role that suicide prevention plays in the larger system inside and outside forensic institutions. Both incarcerated offenders and individuals awaiting sentencing pose potential suicide risks. In addition, offenders on probation or parole may exhibit an increased risk of self-harm. Often, suicide risk is increased in the forensic setting because of factors ranging from shame and guilt to mental illness or fear. Suicide prevention is one of the most critical functions that a forensic treatment practitioner has in any forensic treatment setting.
Even though staff members in jails and prisons work hard at reducing suicides, people still choose to end their lives when they are in forensic treatment settings. Although some of these individuals suffer from pre-existing mental health conditions, many do not. Forensic treatment practitioners should be leaders and advocates for suicide prevention efforts in their forensic settings. In addition to basic policy knowledge, the savvy forensic psychology professional needs to be aware of local, state, and national efforts to reduce the instances of attempted and completed suicides in forensic treatment settings.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Think about the components of suicide prevention and intervention approaches and programs. Consider the efficacy of these approaches and programs. Reflect on which of these components are important in forensic treatment settings.
Select two components of suicide prevention and intervention approaches and programs that you think are important in forensic treatment settings, and consider why.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post a brief description of two components of suicide prevention and intervention approaches and programs that you think are important in forensic treatment settings, and explain why you think they are important.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the resources.

Provide a brief summary of “Advocacy” you could take to address the problem from institutional, community, and public policy levels.

As noted in the introduction for this week, an important skill to have as a professional counselor is the skill of presenting information to a variety of audiences. Because this skill requires practice, receiving critical feedback from your colleagues is important as you become more aware of your skills.
For this Discussion, you will create a self-recorded video presentation of your Social Change Portfolio and post to this Discussion for further feedback from your colleagues. Please note that you should not try to present every detail or piece of information from your portfolio. The purpose of the video presentation is to concisely present the most important information from each tab of your portfolio.
To Prepare:
Review the required Learning Resources for this week and consider the best practices for providing effective feedback.
Review the Kaltura Uploader link found in the navigation panel in the classroom for helpful guidelines for creating and uploading your video for this Discussion.
(Note: Please be mindful of the technical requirements needed when creating your video.)
Create talking points (not a script) for your 5 minute-video according to the 5 tabs from your Social Change Project Portfolio including:
Brief Introduction of your Social Change Portfolio
Summary statement of the “Scope and Consequences” of the problem in the community
A brief statement of “Social-ecological Model” including risk AND protective factors at the individual, peer, family, school, community/cultural levels
A brief statement of the “Theories of Prevention” that underlies your strategy
A brief overview of “Diversity and Ethical Considerations” including specific populations affected.
Provide a brief summary of “Advocacy” you could take to address the problem from institutional, community, and public policy levels.
Practice a few times giving the presentation (use your talking points, but do not read a script) without self-recording.
Self-record yourself giving the presentation
Include a reference list in your post along with your video presentation.

Discuss theories, concepts, issues, and data regarding the material:

/in /by

For your second reflection essay, you will choose another chapter from the textbook that we will have covered in the next five weeks (chapters 8-14).
Once again, your task is not to simply present the information from the reading, but to discuss theories, concepts, issues, and data regarding the material: i.e., what you learned, what you thought was surprising, what was most interesting, and what is most valuable from the chapter.
The fundamental question you should ask is “So what?” In other words, how is the subject matter of your chosen chapter interesting or important? Questions that you should address include—but are not limited to:
1. What have I learned from this reading?
2. What does this reading make me think about?
3. How has the material challenged some of my ideas about the social
world?
4. How has the material helped me understand the complexities of society?
Hints for developing your ideas for your paper:
1. Focus on what you think is important. Feel free to draw upon personal experience, whether from your present situation or past events that relate to the reading.
2.You may ask general questions that require synthesis. (For example, how does the chapter coincide with previous readings)?
3. As you read the material, write down questions that come into your mind.
4. Spend some time thinking of questions or issues that would create a dialogue among fellow class members. Avoid questions that can be answered with a simple “yes” or “no.”
REQUIREMENTS:
Format: Microsoft Word, at least 1000 words, double spaced, 1 inch margins. Use a font no larger than 12 pt. font. Use APA or MLA format for any citations you include in your paper.
