What steps would      you take in this session to make sure that Jamila has the resources she      needs right now?

/in /by

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 500-750-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?

Include at least three scholarly references in your paper.

Application Assignment: Cultural Competency Guidelines

The Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development (AMCD) has provided a Multicultural Counseling Competencies document. Culturally competent counselors regularly review these guidelines to ensure that they are engaging in culturally competent and ethical counseling practices.

Each theory, model, and construct used in multicultural counseling discusses one or more aspects of culture. Culturally competent counselors strive to apply these theories to their work with clients. This week’s application illustrates the application of these theories, models, and constructs to gain insight into the influence they have on counseling work.
For this Application assignment, read the assigned chapters in Sue and Sue’s text (2016).  Reread the chapter that best matches your own cultural, racial, or ethnic identity.  Decide which theory, model or construct is the closest match to your cultural, racial, or ethnic identity experiences. Then, follow all of the directions below to complete this assignment.

The Assignment:
In a 2- to 3-page paper:

· Describe the theory, model, or construct you applied to yourself.

· Then explain the insights you have gained about your own cultural, racial, or ethnic identity by applying that theory, model, or construct.

· Finally, explain how one of the insights you shared in the previous section could impact a counseling relationship/session.

· Reminder: you are applying a racial identity model or racial identity theory or racial identity construct to yourself.
