Introduction For this assignment, imagine you have been contacted by an agency in your community to provide consultation on how they might improve their services to clients. The agency is concerned that clients with serious counseling issues are “falling between the cracks” when they are referred to others in the community for intensive treatment. Furthermore, the brief aftercare they provide is not accessible enough to sufficiently support clients as they re-integrate into the community. Use the Consultation, Supervision, and Advocacy Plan Template to complete this assignment. Using your studies in Units 7, 8, and 9, as well as ideas you have gathered from your peers in the discussions, address the following in your assignment: Identify a population with mental health counseling needs as well as other needs, for example People experiencing chronic or severe mental illnesses who also experience homelessness. Children with medical needs also experience high anxiety. Elderly individuals who are socially isolated and depressed. Chemically dependent persons with recurring mental health crises. Evaluate how the group you identified has been served in the history of clinical mental health counseling. Describe the agency that is requesting a consultation, specifying where their services are located within the continuum of care available in the community. Briefly outline the services they provide, such as outpatient services, inpatient services, partial hospitalization, or aftercare, and describe the other professionals or entities to whom they can refer clients for coordinated care. Identify and describe the consultation theory, model, and strategies you would propose use to assist the agency in improving coordinated services for their clients. Propose a counseling supervision model for the agency that describes roles and strategies for maintaining ethical and consistent client care. Recommend additional steps professionals at the agency could take to advocate at the state or national level to reduce barriers that impede access, equity, and success for their client population. Review the scoring guide linked in the Resources area to make sure you understand how this assignment will be graded. Additional Requirements Your paper should meet the following requirements: Written communication: Compose your paper to concisely and clearly address each topic, with correct grammar, punctuation, and mechanics. Length of paper: 3–5 typed, double-spaced pages, not including the title page and reference page. References: Be sure to correctly cite and reference at least three sources. APA formatting: Follow current APA guidelines for style and formatting, as well as for citing your resources in the body of your paper and on the References page. Font and font-size: Times New Roman, 12 point.

Hi group, I worked on the bullet point for key results of the sample and if p-values were noted. The key results for the study: Significant Results of sample According to the results, a total of 134 participants completed the study 92 males and 42 females. The average age of the participants was 61 years old. Based on the sample, 54 percent of the participants were veterans, 16 percent were military personnel and 30 percent were dependents. No civilians  There were no significant differences except for the age and the participants lost during the study. The younger population ranging 18-29 had the highest attrition rate with 48 percent compared to the participants 65 and older had an attrition rate of 15 percent Based on the pre-test and post-test control group design, the control group participants were hospitalized for an average of 15 days for pretest and 23 days for post-test. The intervention group was hospitalized for an average of 14 days for pretest and 10 days for post-test.- Wilcoxon signed-rank test compared the pre-test and post-test scores. Results: PTSD severity: no p-values, logistic regression, and X2 were used. There was a significant difference between the control and experimental group and PTSD symptoms based on using the IES-R cutoff of 24.

Primary and Secondary Reinforcers (2 pages) We use reinforcement to increase appropriate behaviors. The effectiveness of reinforcement depends on an individual’s preference. While some items or activities are preferred for some individuals, they may be aversive for others. When using positive reinforcement, we must ensure that the reinforcers we are presenting actually function as reinforcers. Also, keep in mind that just because you may like or enjoy something, it does not mean you will respond to gain access. One may like doing puzzles, but one may not be willing to run five miles to gain access to a puzzle. List five preferred items or activities that you enjoy. Categorize these five items or activities into primary or secondary reinforcers. Explain why each is an example of a primary reinforcer or a secondary reinforcer. What primary reinforcers are the secondary reinforcers likely paired with? If any are secondary reinforcers, speculate how they may have come to be secondary reinforcers. What were the primary reinforcers with which they may have been paired? For more information on Reinforcers read this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement

For this Discussion, review each of the clips in the media Disruptive Behaviors Part One and think about your reactions to the behavior exhibited in the media. Select one particular child or adolescent in the media and think about how your reactions to that child’s or adolescent’s behavior might impact a therapeutic relationship with that child or adolescent. Also, consider how you might transform any negative reactions you may have to the child or adolescent you selected to an appropriate therapeutic response. With these thoughts in mind: Post a brief description of the disruptive behavior you selected, and explain one way your reactions might positively or negatively influence the development of a therapeutic relationship with that child or adolescent. Then, explain one way you might transform a negative reaction into an appropriate therapeutic response and how. Be specific and use examples. Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the week’s resources.

UK SOURCE HARVARD REFERENCES 15000 words Describe and Evaluate the Effectiveness of Behavioural Therapies” Ensure your essay is logically structured (introduction, main body & conclusion), and be fully referenced throughout and accompanied by an accurate bibliography. described at least two behavioural therapies applied these therapies to at least one abnormal behaviour evaluated behavioural therapies in terms of its effectiveness described one form of cognitive behavioural therapy evaluated cognitive behavioural therapy in terms of its effectiveness identified and explained the relevant ethical issues related to the use of behavioural therapies used appropriate psychological terminology with reference to classical and operant conditioning and social learning theory correctly referenced work using the Harvard system Main body: For the main body, you will need to include key research and show how these illustrate the processes of learning within the therapies you select. You should describe these succinctly, using appropriate psychological terminology. You should describe at least two behavioural therapies, clearly explaining the processes used and show how they change behaviour. You will need to explain the relevance and usefulness of the therapies in terms of how successful they are in terms of treating maladaptive behaviours. To evaluate the evidence, you should include the following: Consider the effectiveness of behavioural therapies – for example, you could compare and contrast the different exposure therapies and comment on how they compare in terms of effectiveness. You should use specific research examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the therapies. Consider the limitations associated with behavioural therapies – compare behavioural therapies with other treatments, particularly CBT; discuss the development of CBT and consider whether it has improved overall effectiveness; consider the limitation of behavioural therapies. Consider ethical issues associated with behavioural therapies – use specific examples to illustrate the ethical issues; use comparative techniques to help you analyse how ethical the therapies are in relation to each other (eg, compare &      contrast the exposure therapies); discuss whether CBT is more ethical than behavioural therapies.
