You are to choose ONE movie to critique that have a strong trauma theme and then complete a critique of each movie as it relates to the topic of trauma. Give particular attention to how you might use the ideas presented in each movie to counsel children/adolescents who are facing a crisis or dealing with trauma. This assignment should have a title page which will have your name, the course, the instructor, the assignment # (Movie review #1), and the date. (Relates to learning outcomes A, B, C, D).

    Instructions

    The Movie Review Assignment requires you to interact with the content of the movies in a way that allows for an understanding of the impact that movies can have on the therapeutic process. Please start with a title page that has the title of the paper, student name, Liberty University, and our course, TRMA 800. You should adhere to the following format in completing your movie reviews:

    1) The Review:

    Give your impression of the movie with only the briefest description of the plot. Resist the urge to retell the whole plot of the movie, instead sharing the scenes that had the greatest impact on your thinking or the most potential for use within the therapeutic process. What aspects of the movie should the viewer look for if they have not seen the movie and what aspects/scenes do you feel warrant further reflection and why? This section should be at least 600 words in length.

    2) Therapeutic Implications:

    Having noted the scenes that have value for use in the therapeutic process, what is the specific value that you see for use in the counseling process? For example, if you observe emotional outbursts, angry tirades, attempts at connection, empathic listening, etc… point out the scene and the way in which it could be used to enhance your clients understanding of the skill/technique you are attempting to teach. How would you use this scene to make an emotional, cognitive, or spiritual connection? What is your rationale for choosing this scene? This section should be at least 600 words in length.

    3) Personal Implications:

    How did you connect with the movie on a personal level? How did it confirm or challenge some of your perceptions of Child/Adolescent Trauma and its treatment? How will you utilize this information personally? This section should be at least 600 words in length.

    4)Professional Implications:

    How did this movie impact your thinking professionally? How will it inform and impact your delivery of therapeutic interventions/services.

  • Week 2 project

    As a criminal justice professional, you will regularly serve the public by supporting individuals who may be experiencing a mental health crisis or who are affected by mental health issues or disabilities. To support individuals with mental health issues, criminal justice professionals must be ready to identify helpful resources for those in crisis. Not every community has the same resources available, so it is important to know what exists in your area. Your community may have federal, state, and county resources, as well as non-profit organizations and services. Vulnerable individuals rely on the ethical decision-making skills of criminal justice professionals to protect their safety in crisis situations.

    In this summative assessment, you will create a resource guide that lists services available in your community. Upon completion, you will have a usable list of resources that promote solutions for individuals facing a similar crisis.

    Select a target population represented in your area with demographics familiar to you, such as a group that shares a mental or behavioral health diagnosis, a cultural identity, socioeconomic status, or a factor such as age, race/ethnicity, or sex/gender. Locate data on current trends within this population related to mental health and the criminal justice system. Research community resources available in your area that promote solutions to individuals from this population who are affected by mental health issues or crises.

    Assessment Deliverable

    Write a 1,050-word resource guide that analyzes community services available in your area to support individuals affected by mental health issues or crises. Compose the guide as if you were a criminal justice professional documenting potential resources to share with individuals in your community. Include the following in your resource guide: You should have a total of 20 different resources (2 are needed for each category):

    • Describe the demographics and mental health concerns of the intended population for the community resources included in your guide.
    • Give 2 examples of resources available in your community in each of the following categories that are appropriate for individuals from the population group you selected:
    • Mental health treatment services
    • Disability and accessibility services
    • Substance abuse services
    • Domestic violence services
    • Housing/shelter services
    • Veteran services
    • Sexual assault services
    • Basic needs support (food and clothing)
    • Transportation services (Note: When referring individuals in crisis to resources, remember to consider their access to a vehicle and driving ability.)
    • Choose one: services for a first-time justice-involved individual; or, services for an individual exiting a correctional facility to reenter a community.
    • Describe the services provided and include the following information for each community resource or agency:
    • Name of the resource or agency
    • Physical address
    • Phone number
    • Contact person
    • Website of the resource or agency
    • Cost to individuals (e.g., accepts insurance, sliding fee, free)
    • Explain how each resource could assist someone affected by mental health issues or crisis. This information will be completed under the services provided section of the template. Please be thorough here! I do not want a one or two line response, as you need to explain how this resource would benefit your targeted population.
    • Recommend at least 1 additional service that would be helpful to the population you selected but is unavailable in your community.

    Use a format that makes the information in the guide clear to readers, such as a flyer, outline, list, brochure, or Wakelet page.

    The evolution of the field of developmental psychology has begun to trend toward a more holistic view of development, and this is evidenced by the theories of hereditary and environmental interaction. On the surface, these theories appear to be challenging the nature versus nurture controversy by acknowledging that each is necessary and integral to development. Upon closer review, we find that the controversy endures as each theory appears to favor one over the other within the theory. Select one of the following heredity and environmental interaction theories that you believe provides the most valid explanation for the interaction of nature and nurture, provide a brief explanation of the theory in your own words, and clearly state which side of the nature versus nurture controversy you believe is favored by this theory.

    Introduction

    Biology is intertwined with our mental health. Heredity and environment interact to produce psychological disorders. Treatment options also reflect both environmental and biological interventionsa therapy might address environmental triggers and maladaptive cognitions while a medication might affect your brain’s chemistry. Consider how one’s brain might help or hinder them in a moment of mental crisis.
