Case Study: Alpine Texas

On the day of April 19, 1993, at the Mount Carmel Compound in Waco Texas, an inferno of flames broke out after a 51 day siege on the Branch Davidians cult group. A total of 92 lives were lost during the fire, as well as many more during the previous 51 days. Many speculations arose whether the compound being incinerated was set by the FBI in a final attempt to make the Davidians leave the compound, and end the million dollar siege once and for all, or if it was a mass suicide conducted by David Koresh, the leader of the Branch Davidians. Of course, this will always remain a mystery, because almost 100 of the members refused to leave the building, leaving it to be a national tragedy, and unclosed case of who did it.

Suicide does not generally come without warning. Almost always, persons considering it show symptoms or provide clues to their intent. It is important, however, for crisis workers to know how to read these and be able to distinguish between myth and reality. (Kanel, 2003, p. 76)

The Southside Oroville community has a population of 5, 742, that has different ethnicities: White, African American, Asians, and Hispanic or Latino. This is a low-income community. In this community there is a lot of crimes that involves gang fights and drugs. There are always people walking in the streets, it does not matter if it’s A.M. or P.M. The rest the town avoids going to this area, because they think it’s a dangerous area to be around. It’s a community that needs support to take all they drug and gangs out, so they can come a united community and make it a good community. Some of the stakeholders are people from the own community, specially the older members. Other people interest from the Butte County came to help the community get the needs there have been asking for.

The timeline in Fig 1.2 showing “events, high points and key moments in counseling history” since the beginning of the 20th century both interested and surprised me in several ways. Firstly, I was surprised to learn that, rather than evolving slowly in parallel with the medical profession in general in response to the needs of the mentally ill (perhaps more descriptive of the field of psychiatry), counseling as a profession was in fact pioneered by Frank Parsons, or at least by the vocational guidance movement that he represented (Granello, 2012, p. 14). It is interesting to me that career guidance is still an important part of counseling, (Granello, 2012, p. 18) since Frank Parsons struggled with this personally and identified it as a need in society. On consideration, I realize that it makes a great deal of sense that finding an enjoyable and appropriate career has a huge impact on personal well-being, and therefore one’s mental health. Frank Parsons identified an important aspect of society (lack of education regarding suitable professions) that he felt might contribute to its dysfunction, and wrote a number of books, including “Choosing a Vocation” (Granello, 2012, p. 14). Although at first this seemed to me a surprising initiator of the Counseling profession, it is probably quite a natural one.

Texas Roadhouse has over 500 restaurants in 49 states so the strategies of compliance and inclusion needs to roll out nationwide. The first strategy would ensure a buy in at the senior management level, hopefully leading to a recognition that Texas Roadhouse did in fact discriminate against older workers. That in order to change our Business culture the firm establishes a new division for diversity and Inclusion with enough resources and authority to provide diligent effort to ensure compliance. A senior management level debriefing would include a discussion on the amount of money spent on litigation, lobbying to fight the lawsuit and whether simple compliance efforts would have been a wiser investment. At some level for senior management

I finally started my first year of college at Miami Dade College in January 2014. During my adaptation to the new educational system, my Abnormal Psychology class professor mentioned how important it would be to participate in an Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training. I consider this to be very useful in today’s society where many individuals suffer from depression.

Suicides in Montana continues to take the lead amongst the greatest in the nation; unless there is more awareness and prevention it will continue to take the lives of Montanans’. This drastic self inflicted pain does not have to be the last option. Every day is the beginning of a new day; a new page in the book of life. Darkness must not prevail! It must stop taking the lives of friends and family; in order to start saving the lives of Montanans’.

A trading post built in 1838 on Spring Creek marked the arrival of American settlers in the area that was to become Spring, Texas. Within two years, the town of Spring had attracted more than 150 residents, most of whom grew cotton, sugar cane and vegetables. Located approximately 20 miles north of downtown Houston, Spring remained a quiet, small town throughout most of the 20th century. However, during the 1970s, Houston experienced explosive growth; many of the neighborhoods and suburbs north of downtown grew at an especially brisk pace. Today, the original town is known as Old Town Spring; Old Town Spring and the area surrounding it became a census-designated place within Houston's extraterritorial jurisdiction. Residents have easy access to Houston, but they can also enjoy shopping in historic Old Town Spring. Due to the area's mild winters and hot summers, residents can also enjoy a variety of outdoor activities. Unfortunately, the climate is also attractive to mosquitoes, so many property owners rely on MosquitoNix

OTHER BUSINESS: Commissioner Everett referred to the last Commissioner’s meeting discussion regarding Harcatus Tri County Community Action’s request for the use of three parking spaces in the Fair Avenue parking lot. Commissioner Everett has spoken with Jane Clay, Executive Assistant/Park Coordinator and Ms. Clay believes the parking lot is probably full. Commissioner Everett said the county needs to resolve the issue of the four spaces formerly used by Tischbein State Farm before they can proceed with the request from Harcatus. Commissioner Everett asked if there is a list of county employees that park in the Fair Avenue lot. Commissioner Abbuhl said the county employees have a choice of which lot (Fair or Front Ave.) they park in. There are not assigned spots for county employees, but Ms. Clay said there are several spots assigned for county departmental use. Commissioner Everett would like an inventory of how many spaces the county has in both lots and how many spaces are used by county

Graham Texas a small rural town peaceful and calm. One reason for this is because our community is a dry community. This meaning that alcohol is not allowed to be sold in graham. This problem really infuriates people of this town the fact that they have to drive out to another town just for some alcohol. I understand where they are coming from they are having to use more gas to get some beer. Instead of it just being sold hear and saving money for themselves. Is it really worth it though if they are so infuriated by using their gas just don’t get beer then.

DISCUSSION: Orvis Campbell explained the Tuscarawas County Drug Task Force was funded by contributions of entities within Tuscarawas County. The Multi-County Drug Task Force (MCDTF) includes Tuscarawas, Carroll, Holmes, and Harrison Counties and received a small grant for this year from the State of Ohio. They will be funded on a larger scale next year through the Office of Criminal Justice Services and the Drug Task Force Fund. The State did not want (2) two drug task forces so Tuscarawas County had to eliminate one and they decided to eliminate the Tuscarawas County Drug Task Force. The MCDTF board decided to turn the remaining funds over to the county general fund. Tuscarawas County will still be the grantee and

D-According to the patient, he went to Blue Hills because first, he needed a place to stay during the cold weather as to why he bgan to drink. The patient then says he was also going through some depression dealing with the lost of his mother. When asked about much alcohol he consumed before his admission to Blue Hills, his response was, " I had 2 nips to drink."

The patient is aware about the need to go to Wheeler Clinic to address the need to seek mental health services, at which he plan to do so today. Furthermore, this writer addressed the criteria needed for the patient to be reinstated into the program. This writer

In addition, for patients who are being treated for mental health problems or for those patients who I may suspect as being suicidal, I can work on gradually leading the patient to talk about their suicidality in order to get them to open up and gain their trust (Bryan & Rudd, 2006). For patients who have show suicidal thoughts or ideation in the past, I will work on treating the suicide as the behavior to change instead of focusing just on any comorbid mental health disorders (M. Class 4/10). I will focus on getting to know my patients better and the factors that have lead them to where they are in life. In order to help them the most, I will need to know their drivers and in order to do that, I will need to build rapport with them, so that they share with me. We will also work to build their coping skills, because I know how hard it can be to figure out coping mechanisms on your own especially when you are dealing with a crisis (M. Class
