Assessing the Crisis

Part 1

Complete the table below to show a compare and contrast between the hybrid model and psychological first aid model. Be sure to use complete sentences and explain the tasks/steps in your own words. (Do not use only quotations from the text). The first step is completed for you.

Part 2

Create a progress note* that captures the ABCs of assessment—affective, behavioral, and cognitive—from the client in Scenario 5 in this week’s readings. See the following example before completing the table that follows. The ABC information should be between 260 words combined.

*A progress note is a note used to document interaction with a client. A good example of a common process note is a SOAP note. Many agencies use the SOAP note to document contact with clients. SOAP notes refer to the following type of assessment: subjective, objective, assessment, and plan.

BSHS 445 Week 2 Hybrid Model of Crisis

During a crisis intervention, you will need to put the steps of the hybrid model into action. As a team, work together to describe the process and determine where you see each aspect being completed in the video example. This video-based team assignment allows you to “shadow” the process in action.

Watch the video clip “Scenario 5: Hybrid Model.”

Write a 350- to 700-word summary on how the hybrid model of crisis intervention is applied in this situation. Include the following in your paper:

• Describe the hybrid model of crisis intervention.
• Provide specific examples of how each facet of the hybrid model of crisis intervention is illustrated.
• Discuss the types of listening skills that are important in crisis intervention.
• Identify specific examples of listening skills the counselors exhibited.

BSHS 445 Week 3 Case Scenario Response: School Crisis
