Syllabus: Exploring Prevention And Intervention Skills
After reading the Syllabus I am concerned about the group assignments however I have no concerns about the topics. I am interested in learning more about all the different topics. The objective of this course is to learn prevention and intervention skills. The assignment that we have as a group do concern me because I know how I work but I get nervous about depending on other to do what they are supposed to do. The expectations for the discussion boards participation is the do my own discussion post and then respond to two other discussion post of other people. That is the minimum but doing more is good.
As stated in A Guide to Crisis Intervention “the four parts of a crisis as used in this text are: (1) a precipitating event occurs; (2) a
person has a perception of the event as threatening or damaging; (3) this perception leads to emotional distress; and (4) the emotional distress leads to impairment in functioning due to failure of an individual’s usual coping methods that previously have prevented a crisis from occurring” (Kanel, K. 2015, p.2).
The difference between a crisis and stress is that a crisis is defined in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “a difficult or dangerous situation that needs serious attention” (Merriam-Webster, n.d.). However, stress is defined as “a state of mental tension and worry caused by problems in your life, work, etc.” (Merriam-Webster, n.d.). Therefore, be definition crisis is more an event that can create the emotion of stress in a person.
An individual that is crisis prone allow the situation to hold them back from growing from the event. Individuals that are crisis prone need to gain good coping skills to avoid crisis events.
