Topic: Trauma and Ministry

Formulate a thread of at least 400 words to answer the questions in the following scenario: You are called to the aftermath of a massive hurricane that hit the Southeast. Upon arrival at a respite center for the displaced and newly homeless, you first encounter a man who lost everything in the wake of the storm.  As you begin talking with him, you notice someone else join him. In tears, he introduces you to his wife. Based on what you have learned in this week’s Kanel reading, how would you approach this couple in time of their loss? What suggestions does Kanel make for helping someone walking through loss? What does it mean to offer this couple the ministry of presence? Use the Bible to support what a ministry of presence might look like. REFERENCE  TEXTBOOK  KRISTI KANEL :  A GUIDE TO CRISIS INTERVENTION CHAPTER 6

Describe how you plan to use this source in your Week 3 outline that you will write next week.

[WLOs: 3] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4]

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review your completed Week 1 Written Assignment, and the assignment instructions for the Week 2 Annotated Bibliography, Week 3 Annotated Outline and the Week 5 Final Project. This assignment will focus on the research and scholarly sources for your Final Project, again using the same neuropsychological disorder you selected as your focus for the Week 1 Written Assignment already completed. At this time, please look for additional resources to help you discuss your selected neuropsychological disorder (this is the same as the disorder you wrote about in the Week 1 assignment). With the exception of the DSM-5, you may cite and reference course materials such as the textbook, required or recommended reading, or multimedia, but these will not fulfill the source requirement.

For this assignment, be sure to complete and submit the Annotated Bibliography TemplatePreview the document to Waypoint.

Complete the following:

Find at least six to eight scholarly and/or peer-reviewed sources that were published within the last five years, including a minimum of two original research studies that discuss your selected neuropsychological disorder, which you selected for the Week 1 assignment. For further information, please review the Original Research Study Tipsheet (Links to an external site.).

Plan on using these sources in this assignment, as well as your Week 3 assignment and your Final Project (Week 5 assignment).

This will allow you to select, read, and summarize your sources to determine how you will use them in your Final Project, and will also allow your instructor to provide feedback on your selection and understanding of these sources.

You may reuse the references you used in completing your Week 1 assignment. You may use the DSM-5 as one of your resources.

With the exception of the DSM-5, you may cite and reference course materials such as the textbook, required or recommended reading, or multimedia, but these will not fulfill the source requirement.

Include a full reference citation in APA format for each resource.

Summarize each resource in a paragraph (do not copy the article’s abstract—this summary should be in your own words).

Describe how you plan to use this source in your Week 3 outline that you will write next week.

The Final Project Annotated Bibliography

Must include a separate title page with the following:

Title of paper

Student’s name

Course name and number

Instructor’s name

Date submitted

For further assistance with the formatting and the title page, refer to APA Formatting for Word 2013 (Links to an external site.).

Must include at least six to eight scholarly or peer-reviewed sources to complete this annotated bibliography.

The Scholarly, Peer-Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources (Links to an external site.) table offers additional guidance on appropriate source types and the Ashford University Quick ‘n’ Dirty (Links to an external site.) video provides library search tips. If you have questions about whether a specific source is appropriate for this assignment, please contact your instructor. Your instructor has the final say about the appropriateness of a specific source for a particular assignment.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric (Links to an external site.) for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.

Psychology (Human Growth And Development)

Read pp. 175 and 176, “Developmental Diversity and Your Life” and answer the following questions:

1.  What are some implications of differences in the ways adults speak to boys and girls?

2.  How might such speech differences contribute to later differences not only in speech, but also in attitudes?

3.  From your own observations, do you agree that adults speak differently to boys and girls?  What have you experienced in your own childhood and, if you are a parent or caregiver to young children, what have you experienced in your own speech and/or that of your partner?

4.  Do a little research on gender and language, and give us a link to a website or article that you found helpful in considering questions of development, gender, and language.  Why did you find it helpful, and what questions did it raise for you?
