Progress will consist of reductions in negative affect, such as depression and anxiety, and reductions in negative behavior, such as acting out in school, or acting withdrawn. The counselor might choose to have Rosie retake the PCL assessment, in order to determine if it indicates a decrease in her PTSD symptoms. However, in evaluating progress,…

Personal Reflection I found this project to be tremendously educational as a school counselor in training. I was able to find answers to the questions that I have wanted to know ever since I decided to pursue this line of work and complete this project feeling more confident than when I began it. One topic that the City High counselor and I talked about that was directly relatable to me was the fact that he received his Master’s degree in School Counseling at Arizona State and was easily able…

For instance, a popular issue today is the wage gap; a statistical estimation that states a woman is paid 79 percent of what a man is paid for performing the same job with the same credentials (aauw). A matter like this can certainly be solved to a certain extent by policy with enough reinforcement and push; however,…

Court ruled that the Constitution protects the government to intervene. We can intervene with the parent's rights to make decisions concerning the care of their children. I do not believe that Emily's parents are making the correct decision for her health. It is also proven that being abuse increases the likelihood of a restaurant for a juvenile, as an adult, and even for a violent crime. They can up the likelihood of being arrested as a juvenile by 59%. I would also find it unfortunate if Emily…

Conferencing comprises activities involving the school counselor, the student, and their parents. Each student discusses ways to plan, monitor, and manage their own learning; in addition to, their personal and career development. At my high school placement, I observed and facilitated freshman individual conferences. Due to the considerable size of the freshman class…

Critical Incident Reflection Assignment On my evening shift during April 5, 2016, I was involved in a critical incident involving my assigned patient (D.B.). During this incident, D.B. learned that she was denied privilege to go off unit “for a smoke” due to a conflict that had occurred between herself and another patient on the unit.
