Crisis Intervention Essay

1866 Words8 Pages

As a Crisis Intervention Specialist for a law enforcement agency, I am a first responder to victims of crime who are in crisis. I became involved in this case when a deputy who received a call for service from a guidance counselor who was reporting sexual abuse of a sixteen-year-old tenth grader at a local high school. The deputy contacted me to respond to the call with him. The guidance counselor reported that the student had been raped multiple times a day since her thirteenth birthday by her uncle with whom she lives with. Once we arrived, I met with the tenth grade student who I will call Amanda for this paper.

Amanda was born to young unmarried drug addicted parents. Amazingly, she does not have any disabilities physically or mentally and made straight As in school until she was twelve years old. At the age of three, Amanda’s mother did …show more content…

There are too many children who age out of the system who have never been taught how to manage themselves. Most of them have been moved from place to place who have never had a job. Once they are on their own, they do not know how to manage money, obtain insurance, or even something as simple as getting a driver’s license. All children who age out of the foster care system in Florida are guaranteed a college education. Sadly, most of them drop out as they are unable to support and manage themselves appropriately.

The treatment plan for Amanda will be a plan to fulfill her dream of becoming a physical therapist. Outlining the plan for her to go to college will assist me in leading Amanda in the right direction, allows me to collaborate with Amanda on her dreams, and allow us to identify progress. I have worked with Amanda by helping her identifying her goal, focusing on her strengths by showing her all she has overcome throughout her life, and guiding her in the decision making

Police interviewed the girl later that day and she said that the man had touched her with his penis the day before, but she had not told her mother. In this interview, she did not mention that the man had ejaculated on her the second day, so her shirt was not retrieved by police. The girl said that the man said his name was “Johnny.”

    Rape is something that many warn us about and tell us to be careful about. What many do not realize is that it can happen in a matter of seconds and there is nothing that can be done to stop it. Often it happens, but people find it difficult to report it because of the person who committed the crime, this was the case in the book Missoula by Jon Krakauer. The book begins with a woman, Allison Huguet, who was raped by a member of the football team in the University of Montana, Beau Donaldson. This case was not the first incident to happen in this city and the author does a great job in letting his readers be aware and know it has happened before.

  • Pros And Cons Of The Foster Care System

    Introduction Imagine growing up with the fear of constantly being abused by your parents, or not knowing the next time that your caretakers would feed you. Believe it or not, that is the reality for many children living in the United States, which is why the foster care system was established. The foster care system was created to find homes for children who are unable to live with their biological parents, for reasons such as death, abuse, or an unhealthy home environment. Today, there are around 500,000 children residing in the system, and this figure is growing daily (American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry 2013). There has been some controversy about how the government handles the foster care system, as some believe that there

  • James Kimball Case Study

    582 Words  | 3 Pages

    Mr. James Kimball, at 23 years old, was a school bus driver who pursued a 15 year old student he’d known for two years. Eventually their “flirtatious” relationship escalated to a “single-sexual encounter” on or about October 3, 1991. The relationship was brought to light by the parents of the child henceforth urging Mr. Kimball to plead guilty to one count of statutory rape in 1992, where the judge then imposed a withheld judgment with a three year probation. After that, Mr. Kimball was accordingly put on the Sex Offender Registry. Due to the essence of the given facts and case report, the disparity in time from the crime to the present, and the technicality of the psychosexual evaluator’s report, I would not have aired the story on Mr.James Kimball.

    When a young person is sexually assaulted, they often do not understand what has happened and will not come forward immediately. Often their feelings and thoughts are internalized which can help to create more trauma due to not coping in a way that will promote healing. The vicious cycle of isolation is prominent in Melinda’s coping strategy. When Melinda isolates herself from her peers by hiding in the janitor’s closet, the rejection she feels from her peers is being negatively reinforced; therefore, encouraging Melinda to continue isolating herself. Isolation is not always productive because it allows for rumination which can be damaging to a youth’s self-esteem and confidence.

  • Tier 2 Intervention Essay

    Recent legislation requires schools to implement a Response to Intervention (RTI) model that is based on multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). The goal of RTI is to identify students early who are struggling academically or behaviorally and provide appropriate interventions to prevent these challenges from becoming more serious and detrimental to their success. Under the traditional system, students may not receive extra services until a problem becomes severe, and they meet criteria for a special education qualification. RTI helps schools identify children earlier using systematic and scientific universal screeners of all children. Therefore, RTI gives students who are at-risk the opportunity to receive less intensive intervention services,
