Discussion:
Trauma-related Counseling
It seems every newspaper, news broadcast, and news story contains some discussion of a crisis situation, natural or man-made disaster, or trauma-causing event. These crises and disasters can occur on an individual scale (such as abuse) or on societal scale (such as a school bombing or a tsunami). Experiences such as these are not new. However, the focus on these experiences from a mental health standpoint is new. Mental health counselors have pivotal roles in working with those who are impacted by crises, disasters, and other trauma causing events, be it as a first line responder, disaster mental health volunteer, trauma counselor, and/or trainer/consultant.
Give an analysis of why natural and man-made disasters, crises, and other trauma-causing events have become a focus of the mental health counseling profession and the implications of this focus on mental health counselors and on the profession itself. Be sure to support your analysis with references.
Write your answer/response in detail with examples and facts and figures using APA style of formatting, size 12, font Times new roman and answer must be single spaced
