    1. Explain at least three indicators of burnout and compassion fatigue specific to mental health professionals, supported by current research and lived professional examples.

    The lecture must be cited as source material, and at least three outside sources (from peer-reviewed journals or academic books) must also be cited in the paper and included in the reference section. Please note that your reference section should only contain sources cited in the text of your paper. The paper should be written in essay format (as opposed to a list or bullet-points) with considerable discussion of the features and characteristics described.

    Using websites as sources is not acceptable and may result in a no credit grade for the paper. Further, students are to use their own words do not use direct quotes in your paper!

    The paper is due by 11:59 PM on June 20, 2025. Please submit your paper by uploading into the D2L Drop Box.

    • Rich text format (.rtf)

    Sending the paper in any other format will result in no credit. Submitting a late paper is very likely to result in a no credit grade.

    Paper Formatting

    Regarding formatting, there should be no more than a one inch margin around pages, and 12-point, Times New Roman font should be used. Double space the papers text and include your name in the header. Do not start the first page of text any lower than one inch from the top of the page. Number the pages.

    Be sure to meet the six page minimum. Stated page minimums refer to pages of text. A cover page or reference page does not count as a page in your paper. Thus, a six page paper should have at least six full pages of text.

    The manner in which references are cited should closely resemble the formatting requirements of the American Psychological Association. For a rough guideline to APA format, please see sites such as:

  • History Assignment

    RQ #4: The 1920s in the United States were marked by a surge of nativism, or intense favoritism toward native-born Americans over immigrants. This sentiment arose in response to rapid social changes, economic uncertainty, and fears of cultural and political disruption following World War I. Waves of immigrants from Southern and Eastern Europe were met with hostility, as many native-born Americans viewed them as threats to jobs, social stability, and “traditional” American values. This era saw the passage of restrictive immigration laws such as the Emergency Quota Act of 1921 and the Immigration Act of 1924, which established strict limits on immigration, especially targeting those from non-Western European countries. Nativism also manifested in the revival of the Ku Klux Klan, which expanded its targets to include not only African Americans but also Catholics, Jews, and immigrants. Fueled by xenophobia, economic competition, and cultural anxiety, nativists demanded conformity to their vision of what it meant to be “American.” These demands raise critical questions about identity, belonging, and loyalty in a nation defined by immigration. What does it mean to be “American”? How did nativist attitudes in the 1920s shape the definition of American identity? Additionally, draw comparisons to contemporary examples of nativism or debates over immigration in the United States today in 2026. How do questions of identity and belonging continue to shape American society, and what lessons can we learn from the 1920s?
