Week 8 Assignment – Final Paper: Research Paper

Part II

Instructions

Your final research paper will be based on the topic of your choice selected in Week 2. You may include the readings assigned in this class to supplement your research.

Final Research Paper:

Write an 8-10-page research paper (excluding the title and reference pages) on the topic of your research topic choice selected in Week 2. By this time, you should have submitted your first 5 pages for grading and feedback. Once you receive feedback, make revisions accordingly and combine with the last five pages of your paper.

TurnitIn Information: Your paper will automatically be submitted to TurnitIn when you submit your paper through the “Assignment” section of the classroom. As a guide, the similarity score is the percentage of the assessment of your research paper that directly quotes other sources. It should be no more than 10%. Please note that this refers only to direct quotes within the body of the text and does not include the reference list or cover sheet. Anything more than 10% will be subject to evaluation and loss of points if plagiarism is detected.

Unit 13/14 Signature Assignment: Trauma and Crisis Interventions from a Human Rights Perspective

  1. For this final assignment, you need to select an existing trauma or crisis intervention for a specific international population of your choice. Please note that you cannot use the same population and/or intervention that you studied earlier in this course to avoid any duplications.
      • Describe the demographic characteristics of the population and the crisis they experienced.
      • When did the crisis happen, how long did it last or is it an ongoing crisis?
      • What type of trauma did or does the population experience in response to the crisis?
  1. Next, describe the trauma and crisis intervention that you believe would help this population.
      • Is it an individual or a group intervention?
      • How long does it take?
      • Has it been used with the population of your choice?
      • Who could implement it and what training would be required?
      • What are the desired mental health outcomes?
  1. Now, you need to apprise the intervention through the lens espoused by universal human rights conventions, and international and national ethical principles. Refer to The Universal Human Rights DeclarationLinks to an external site., the APA Ethical Principles for Psychologists and Code of ConductLinks to an external site., the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the ChildLinks to an external site., and/or the Universal Declaration of Ethical Principles for PsychologistsLinks to an external site.as appropriate.
  2. Based on your appraisal, would you recommend this intervention for a population of your choice as an ethical and culturally relevant practice?
      • What changes would you propose in this intervention to make it more responsive to the unique characteristics of the population of your choice and to the specific crisis that they have experienced?
  1. Considering that self-care is an ethical responsibility of mental health care providers, what would you recommend to prevent professional burnout, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue in local practitioners who would be implementing this intervention?
  2. Write your conclusion precisely summarizing the most important points of your paper.

Additional Details

  • Must include an abstract, main text, conclusion, and a list of references.
  • Eight – ten (8-10) pages of main text.
  • APA 7th format.

 

Unit 12 Written Assignment: Grant Application Procedures for Funding Trauma and Crisis Interventions

Based on the grant writing training modules that you have viewed, determine and describe specific grant application procedures to solicit funding for utilizing the empirically supported, effective, and ethical trauma or crisis intervention for a current domestic or international disaster that you have been working on in Units 10 & 11.

  • Three (3) pages of main text.
  • APA 7th format.

Unit 10 Written Assignment: Culturally Relevant Trauma and Crisis Interventions

Identify and describe a culturally specific and relevant trauma or crisis intervention that would be acceptable for a prospective grant funding opportunity in domestic or international settings.

  • What trauma intervention would you choose to help an underserved population of your choice?
  • You would need to secure funding for your project to culturally adapt the trauma intervention. What potential does this intervention have for grant funding?
  • Provide three reasons that you would give to prospective grantors to convince them fund your project.

Unit 8 Group Presentation: Public Policy and Advocacy in Crisis Response to Globalization

Your course instructor will assign you to one of two groups:

  • Group 1 – Trauma-Informed Public Policy Recommendations.
  • Group 2 – Trauma-Informed Advocacy Recommendations.

Presentation Information

Using the references provided in this Unit’s Readings page, present your recommendations for trauma-informed public policy and advocacy initiatives to address the adverse impact of economic, political, or environmental threats in diverse international contexts.

To prepare a group presentation, you will each work within your assigned group and develop at least three recommendations.

  • Elect a group leader and assign other responsibilities to prepare your group presentation.
  • Decide as a group how to integrate all the recommendations into one presentation.
  • Communicate the group leader via email to the instructor of the course.

Unit 6 Written Assignment Adolescent Trauma A Case Study Exploration

 

This week you read about definitions, indications, prevalence, and consequences of adverse childhood experiences. These micro and macro-level crises can have serious, negative, long-term mental and physical health outcomes.

In your Cavaiola and Colford (2017) text, there are several case studies relevant to adolescent adversity on pp. 100-108, as well as pp. 134-137 to explore.

Choose one of these cases and respond to the following questions in 3-5 pages (not counting the cover and reference page) using the boldfaced words as headings throughout the body of the paper for organization and structure:

  • Introduction (will directly match your cover page title)
  • What type of crisisis this adolescent(s) experiencing (developmental, traumatic, existential, or psychiatric)?
  • What are two guidelines to follow in considering the treatment options for this/these adolescent(s)?
  • Does mandated reporting apply in this case?
  • Identify two implications of this trauma both individually and collectively/communally.
  • Identify at least two community resources that exist in your local setting appropriate for adolescent care following the specific crisis faced.
  • Offer a conclusion.

Paper Requirements

  • Minimum 3 double-spaced pages, maximum 4 pages not counting title page and reference page.
  • A minimum of 3 peer-reviewed articles cited in-text and referenced on a reference page at the end of the paper.
  • APA style.
  • 20 points maximum

 

Unit 6 Padlet Assignment Crisis Intervention for Mitigating the Impact of Political and Economic Globalization

Assignment Details

Continue exploring the trauma and crisis interventions that would help mitigate the impact of political and economic globalization. Create your own Padlet board and describe the ways of prioritizing the needs of the underserved and vulnerable population that you selected in Unit 5, in crisis intervention and management. Explain how the needs-focused crisis intervention will help mitigate the potential negative impact of political and economic globalization.

You will create your own Padlet board for this assignment.

Instructions on how to create a Padlet and embed it to this discussion thread are in the Unit 4 Discussion, it may seem lengthy but it is an easy process.

Unit 2 Written Assignment – Historical and Current Trends in Trauma and Crisis Intervention

Compare the past and present approaches to crisis intervention and management within and outside the US.

  • How can the lessons learned from the past trauma and crisis responses inform your choice of an intervention in a present crisis?
  • Name one top priority that you believe is important for the future trauma and crisis intervention.
  • Use the readings in Units 1 and 2, and any additional scholarly readings that are relevant to this assignment’s topic.
