Evaluate risk factors that may have contributed to the shooter’s actions. Be sure to include developmental risk factors. Recommend forensic risk assessment instruments that would be appropriate to be used in evaluating risk specific to this case.

Explain ethical concerns that may impact your work on this case. Be sure to cite relevant APA Ethical Guidelines, Specialty Guidelines for Forensic Psychology and/or Multicultural Competence Guidelines located within the Week 2 Learning Resources.

Sometimes, clients come into the counseling session with an immediate crisis. They need an immediate solution to a problem. Counseling in these situations needs to be focused and goal oriented.

Jamila has been working with her counselor on learning to better manage her 9-year-old son. Last night, her son was hit by a car and is in the hospital. This has created a number of problems:

  1. She has to arrange childcare for her daughter so she can stay with her son in the hospital.
  2. He will need some special care when he gets home because he will be in a wheelchair.
  3. She is fearful that she will lose her job as a teacher’s aide in the local public school.

Write a 750-1,000-word paper addressing the following:

  1. How would you prioritize Jamila’s concerns in the counseling session? What would you address first?
  2. What steps would you take in this session to make sure that Jamila has the resources she needs right now?
  3. How would you help Jamila develop a plan to manage the current crisis?
  4. How could an interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary team help in this situation? Give an example of at least one interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary team member that would need to be added to her team and why.

Discussion Question 2: Indicators of Suicide

Increased stress levels, feeling hopeless and alone, being bullied, or experiencing repeated physical or sexual abuse could all be reasons why some adolescents consider suicide. Adolescent suicide has far-reaching consequences on families, friends, communities, and schools. For this Discussion, use the Parker Family case study to consider the indicators of suicide. Also think about how you might react to students in this situation if you were a social worker in a school.

 

Post your answer to the following:

o    After learning about the character in the Parker Family case study, imagine that you were the school social worker. Which indicators would you have looked for and why.

o    How would you have responded to each of those indicators?

o    What kinds of questions would you have asked and why?

Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.
