Look at all of the attachments. Please follow the instructions to get full credit for the discussion. I’m in the group with last name J-R. I need this completed by 10/09/18 at 8pm. 

Discussion: Suicide Assessment

Effective suicide prevention counseling can literally save a life. With timely interventions, treatment and support, suicides and suicide attempts can be prevented. In crisis counseling, how you encounter the suicidal client may differ from the traditional face-to-face interactions we typically consider for long-term care. Some suicidal clients reach out with a phone call or online messaging. Other times we are given a written case referral and asked to consult for immediate safety planning. Since we encounter suicidal clients in a variety of platforms, this discussion is designated to help you not only perfect your skills in determining how to assess and intervene with a suicidal client, but also to consider the impact of how the client information is presented on our decision making regarding best client care.

In this Discussion, you will be assigned a particular case presentation to review. Students with the last name A–I will watch the video recording as if working with a face-to-face or online client. Students with the last name J–R will review the transcript as if given a written referral. Students with the last name S–Z will listen to the audio recording as if speaking to a client by phone. Based on your assigned format, you will assess for risk factors and begin safety planning for your client.

To Prepare:

· Download the transcript and review the video Facilitative Response Activity. Consider how you might facilitate or formulate a response to the client scenarios.

· Review the video How to accurately assess and help a client from the Learning Resources for this week.

· Based on your last name, review the case presentation Suicide assessment and safety planning in the format assigned.

Note: When the media resource is accessed and appears, please make certain that you choose the format that coincides with the group you are assigned. Students with the last name A–I will watch the video recording. Students with the last name J–R will use the written transcript. Students with the last name S–Z will listen to the audio recording.

Post your responses to the following: The type of interaction you      reviewed (i.e., written, video, or audio) (written for my last name) Risk factors for the client Things you would like to know      about the client (i.e., what information is missing?) Components you think will be      important to include in a safety plan for the client

Respond paper The Ethics of Buddhism

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDgd8LT9AL4&t=3s

https://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/kn/dhp/dhp.intro.budd.html

(1) After watching the documentary and reading the selections from the Dhammapada, you will write a short response paper addressing a topic in Buddhist Ethics. Below are some of the topics; select one:

–The Buddhist view on justice

–The Buddhist view on right and wrong/good and evil

–The Buddhist view on assisted suicide

–Buddhist ethics and the afterlife

–The Buddhist view on animal consumption (vegetarianism)

–Buddhist views on social justice

–Buddhist views on Death Penalty

–Buddhist views on abortion

(2) Select one of the above topics, and formulate a thesis concerning the topic. 

(3) You will need to show how a Buddhist would address one of those philosophical topics based on the documentary/reading. 

–Guidelines

(a) 3-4 pages

(b) double spaced

(c) times new roman

(d) 12 point font

(e) paper should not contain any quotes from the Dhammapada or secondary resources. You are not allowed to use secondary resources. Your entire paper will come from the documentary and reading. Use of secondary resources will result in point deductions.

 

Below is a suggestion for the structure of this paper in order to help you organise it properly

(i) Introduction (introduce ideas and thesis statement)

(a) Thesis Statement: a one sentence statement that clearly formulates the position you will argue in favour of. For example, “in this paper, I will argue that the Buddha would have been opposed to the death penalty”

(ii) Body Paragraph 1: discuss the particular ethical debate you are engaging with (i.e. death penalty, abortion, etc.)

(a) provide both sides of the debate. For example, if you are engaging with the abortion debate, you should show both sides of the debate and demonstrate how each side would argue. 

(b) try to be neutral. Do not take a side, but demonstrate each side of the argument

(iii) Body Paragraph 2: show how you think the Buddha would have approached this topic

(a) Introduce some ideas from Buddhism that you learned from the documentary and reading. 

(b) Demonstrate how it provides evidence for your thesis. For example, discuss the Buddha’s views on violence, and then demonstrate how this relates to your thesis (i.e. “the Buddha would have been opposed to abortion”, “the Buddha would have been opposed to death penalty” etc.)

(iv) Body Paragraph 3: provide an additional argument, that elaborates on the argument in Body Paragraph 2:

(a) explore the same topic, but from a different angle. For example, if you’re writing about the death penalty, discuss the Buddha’s views on justice in addition to violence to make an additional argument. 

(v) Conclusion: draw some conclusions about how Buddhism helps reframe the ethical problem and sheds new light on its possible resolution. End the paper with a restatement of your thesis statement.

(a) demonstrate how Buddhism sheds new light on your topic. For example, if youre writing about the death penalty, write about how Buddhism can help strengthen the debate. 

This is a speculative paper based on a unique engagement with the text.
