To be honest, I have had no formal training in counseling. In fact, because of an unproductive experience in a psychology class in college, I have not been looking forward to attending class. I was content with just using common sense, and personal experiences to assist parishioners in coping with specific situations affecting their lives. I knew God had prepared me for my job as pastor, but when I read Webb’s book, “Crisis Counseling in the Congregation”, I realized that this book would prove useful in facilitating me in becoming a better counselor. When I was assigned to Rivers Chapel as a pastor, I used strategies I had learned, in the classroom, and on my previous jobs in counseling, which were common sense and life experiences. But now, after reading “Crisis Counseling in the Congregation”, I can perceive where common sense and personal experience would have been more productive if I had had a better understanding of the techniques Webb introduced in his basis toolbox. After reading Webb’s book, I know I can be a better counselor for my parishioners, their families, and my own family.

In most circumstances, family and loved ones are usually seen as the most reliable support systems that a person can have. However, there are certain circumstances in which family members are the ones who are creating the problems. One of the prominent issues that can potentially occur within families involves domestic violence, with the victim usually being a woman. With most family matters, those who are looking from the outside are usually hesitant in intervening with those types of personal issues. In order to reduce the occurrence of domestic violence, there must be assistance and training provided for all of the parties involved. This includes providing assistance to the victim, perpetrator, and third parties in order for change

Morabito, et al. (2012) conducted a study on crisis intervention teams (CIT) and its effectiveness in reducing violence in situations involving the police and the mentally ill. Morabito, et al. (2012) noted that coercion and the authority to use force are key aspects of police work yet minimal research had been conducted examining its use in situations involving mentally ill persons. Specifically, it is uncertain as to what factors contribute to the use of force and whether CIT is effective at reducing police use of force. This study used data from the Chicago Police Department (CPD) CIT program from 2002 to 2005 (Morabito, et al., 2012). CIT trained and non-CIT trained officers were surveyed from two pilot districts and from two non-pilot
