Crisis with Individuals, Couples, and Families

Provide a brief introduction to your paper here. The title serves as your introductory heading no need for a heading titled “Introduction.” Here you will briefly discuss the purpose of paper. Start first by writing a sentence or two on the topic in general (i.e crisis with individuals, couples and families). Remember, you need a minimum of 3 sentences to make a paragraph. In this paragraph include a sentence or two outlining which topics will be discussed and in which order. Remember, you are writing in FIRST person for all papers in this course so you can use “I believe..” and “my experience has been.”

First Type of Crisis - Suicide

Provide an overview of the research regarding suicidal clients and the impact on families. Discuss what assessment you might use with the individual and/or family members. Explain what specific interventions you might use with the individual, couple, or family to address the suicidal behaviors and/or completed suicide attempt. Remember to make sure you have a minimum of 3 sentences in every paragraph and you cite your scholarly source(s) to support your points in proper APA format.

Second Type of Crisis – Your Choice

Provide an overview of the research regarding the second type of crisis situation you chose that is experienced by individuals and their family systems. Discuss what assessment you might use with that particular crisis event with the individual and/or family members. Explain what specific interventions you might use with the individual, couple, or family to address the crisis experienced within the family system. Remember to make sure you have a minimum of 3 sentences in every paragraph and you cite your scholarly source(s) to support your points in proper APA format.

Cultural, Ethical, and/or Legal Issues

Under this header, explain the primary cultural, ethical, and/or legal issues related to counseling survivors of the two types of crises you chose. Use and cite your ACA Code of Ethics to support what specific standards relate to suicide and other crisis situations within a family system. Remember to make sure you have a minimum of 3 sentences and you cite your scholarly source(s) to support your points in proper APA format.

Conclusion

Your conclusion section should recap the major points you have made in your paper. However, perhaps more importantly, you should interpret what you have written and what the bigger picture is. Remember your paper should be 2-3 pages not counting your title page and reference page. Do not exceed the page limit. (References go on their own page. See next page).

References

Always include references unless the assignment specifies otherwise.These should be taken from all relevant resources listed in the classroom plus any additional relevant scholarly resource you have discovered in a library or scholarly search. Be sure that every reference is in APA format with a hanging indent. Also, every citation should have a reference and vice versa. Use the APA manual, the Citation Guide or Purdue Owl.com to verify your format. APA is very specific about punctuation and how elements of the reference are presented. Remember, your references go on a separate page not directly under your conclusion.
