Case Study Scenario:

You have been hired by XYZ University as a consultant. They want you to evaluate an organization to see if a service learning opportunity would benefit future students and the community. Your initial recommendation is due in week 5 and will be based on the research you collect in your first four assignments.

WEEK 3 ASSIGNMENT:

  • Last week you described community partnerships and volunteers within your organization. You also discussed the benefits of service learning for students and communities.
  • Your task this week is to expand your research to cultural challenges, humanitarian considers, and roadblocks faced by the organization.
  • XYZ University has required you to find at least three peer-reviewed articles in the EBSCO library to support your research this week. EBSCO tutorial.
  • You will turn in a 2-3 pages paper following APA guidelines. Click here for the web version of the APA sample paper. Click here for a downloadable version of the APA sample paper.

PAPER REQUIREMENTS:

Complete the following steps.

Step 1: Introduction – Provide a quick introduction to the organization you have chosen. Briefly describe the population that the organization seeks to serve. Describe briefly how the organization’s mission connects to what the organization does to help these populations. Briefly describe what the organization does to serve these populations. Provide at least one citation from a peer-reviewed article to support your claims in this section. Citation tutorial

Step 2: Humanitarian Considerations – Describe the challenges the populations served by the organization face in our current society. Based on research and specific evidence, does the organization engages in “charity” work or “solidarity” work? What specifically could the organization do differently to engage more fully in “solidarity” work? Provide at least one citation from a peer-reviewed article to support your claims in this section.

Step 3: Cultural Challenges – What challenges might students have in engaging with the unique and diverse populations served by the organization? Based on your research, how might students overcome these issues? How might the university support students in overcoming these challenges? Provide at least one citation from a peer-reviewed article to support your claims in this section.

Step 4: Roadblocks – What potential liabilities could exist by having students of the XYZ University participate with service learning and the organization? Has the organization had any issues in the past that might reflect poorly on the University? What risks might the student face by participating in service learning with the organization? How are these liabilities and issues related to the diverse cultural populations served by the organization? Provide at least one citation from a peer-reviewed article to support your claims in this section.

Step 5: Conclusion – What cultural conflicts are likely to occur if a student participates in service learning at this organization? How might cultural issues or disagreements between the student, the organization, and the diverse populations the organization serves be resolved? How can the University support these resolutions? What are the potential risks to the university? Provide at least one citation from a peer-reviewed article to support your claims in this section.

I really enjoyed viewing the cognitive therapy session, I enjoyed the structure. I also loved that the client was very involved and there was a goal set and the counselor and Helen knew they were to work together. That began the recognition of socialization in the session. Throughout the duration of the counseling session, Helen and her counselor delved into a structured session which involved them going through Helen’s “Beck Depression Inventory” as well as a session building worksheet that helps them connect the sessions and allows Helen to process. In my opinion I think that this technique was quite effective. It was becoming clear that Helen was developing rapport with her counselor and having them work together helped that come to pass.

One of the ideas that the counselor shared were automatic thoughts. She gave a situation and the told Helen that there will be a thought after different situations and the emotional response that then ensues from the situation and lastly the behavior that comes from the situation. The goal is to target thoughts and see if the thoughts are accurate. The counselor wants Helen to experience functional thoughts that allow Helen to feel better. If a problem arises as they are going through Helen’s thoughts they will then need to work together to problem solve. This was another example of the counselor implementing socializing the client to the therapy. Helen and her counselor went through dysfunctional thought record together which helped Helen realize what automatic thoughts were and practice with her counselor. Helen was then given homework to go through one thought a day using the thought record as an example.

I read about cognitive therapy and really enjoyed the explanation that came from the PsychCentral website. The article About Cognitive Psychotherapy, explains that cognitive therapy deals with our thoughts with that come from how we feel (Herkov, 2006). In the session I believe t.he counselor did a great job at working with Helen to view her thoughts and feelings and begin to help Helen look into the source of the thoughts. I could not think of much I would have done differently besides lighten Helen’s homework load. Since she was asked to face one of her dysfunctional thoughts by talking to her husband about watching the kids on the weekend I would have asked her to try to work through three automatic thoughts before the next visit.
