Course Project: Final Paper in Week 10

For your Paper, you will apply concepts, principles, and theories presented in the course as they relate to a specific type of disaster, crisis, or trauma of your choice.

Your 10- to 12-page paper (not including references, title page, or abstract) should be double-spaced with proper APA formatting. Your paper must include:

• A minimum of 10 references (in addition to any course readings that you may wish to reference);
• A description of the type of disaster, crisis, or trauma you selected;
• An explanation of the crisis intervention approach you would use to respond to the disaster, crisis, or trauma;
• An analysis of ethical, legal, and multicultural considerations related to the disaster, crisis, or trauma;
• An assessment of the potential impact of the disaster, crisis, or trauma including the following areas:
  • Affect
  • Behavior
  • Cognition
  • Development
  • Ecosystems
• An explanation of the global impact of the disaster, crisis or trauma;
• A description of the crisis intervention strategies and skills (including Psychological First Aid) you would use and an explanation of how you would use each;
• An explanation of the potential long-term psychological effects (e.g., transcrisis state, PTSD) of the disaster, crisis, or trauma;
• A description of potential risk and resilience factors and an explanation of how each might impact recovery;
• An analysis of trends and/or future research related to the disaster, crisis, or trauma.

Although the Final Paper is not to be submitted until Day 7 of Week 10, you should become familiar with the paper requirements and have them in mind as you proceed through the course.
