Evaluation of working with clients using crisis intervention

Assessment Description:
The aim of this assignment is to critically evaluate working with clients using crisis intervention for a chosen condition. (i.e. depressed, anxious or suicidal clients).
Discuss how you would assess, understand and support a client that might present in crisis. (i.e. depressed, anxious or suicidal clients). In order to do that, students are to critically review a set of relevant journal articles presenting recent research. (they can be found i.e. in Ebscohost or Proquest) on the chosen counselling approach and write a summary paper.

What we want to see:
The work must be fully referenced with in-text citations and a reference list at the end. We recommend you work with your Academic Writing Guide to ensure that you reference correctly. You will find a link to this document on the main page of every unit, under the ‘Assessments’ section Correct academic writing and referencing are essential tasks that you need to learn. We recommend a minimum of ten references.

Referencing:

References are for the quality. You should draw on quality academic sources, such as books, chapters from edited books, journals etc. Your textbook can be as reference, but not the Study Guide and lecture notes. We want to see evidence that you are capable of conducting your own research. Also, in order to help markers determine students’ understanding of the work they cite, all in-text references (not just direct quotes) must include the specific page number/s if shown in the original.

Researching: You can search for peer-reviewed journal articles, which you can find in the online journal databases and which can be accessed from the library homepage. Reputable news sites such as The Conversation (https://theconversation.com/au/health), online dictionaries and online encyclopedias are acceptable as a starting point to gain knowledge about a topic. Government departments, research institutes such as the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC), international organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and local not for profit organisations such as the Cancer Council are also good resources.

Formatting: The assessment MUST be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format. Other formats may not be readable by markers.
