In chapter two of Leymah Gbowee’s memoir, Mighty Be Our Powers: How Sisterhood, Prayer, and Sex Changed a Nation at War, turmoil is happening all around her. The chapter starts with Gbowee graduating from High School and enrolling into the University of Liberia. Shortly after she enrolls it is announced that rebel forces have invaded Liberia. Gbowee’s parents move to a newer house in Monrovia. Then Gbowee experienced her first encounter with guns when there was shooting near her house, along with her grandmother, Ma Korto, pushing one of the children outside. After that, she and her family were taken to St. Peter’s church to stay in the residential compound. Shortly after she arrived at St. Peter’s, Gbowee saw a young man shot in the street. The streets seemed like battlegrounds and people prayed their houses would become fortresses. When Gbowee describes the way the beginning of the war affects her personally, she overlooks the deeper problem of how fear and courage alter the ways in which the people around her fight the daily battle of surviving. In neglecting to see the suffering of others, she shows that she has not yet, “come of age” and still has a lot of maturing to do.

Due to the fact that the client lost her job, it is essential that the first goal in the counseling process is to give her the necessary tools to procure another position. Another goal is to keep the family together while the mother receives the proper help to fulfill these goals. Interventions to do so would be skills training, stress management, and consultation. The counselor can discuss with the client which areas of employment would she like to work in and based on that information, get the necessary training. What this client desperately needs is stress management. She is facing some tough challenges with her husband deployed, loss of job, and a mouth to feed. (Corey, Scheider Corey, Corey, & Callanan, 2015, 2011) I would also have some consultation with the proper services like family preservation services which strives to develop a treatment plan to keep a child safe in their own home.

Since the start of the Sierra Leonean war in March of 1991, innocent civilians have been the primary target of the Revolutionary United Front (RUF)’s wrath. The people of Sierra Leone have faced significant problems due to the invasions and attacks by the Rebel Forces and are the main population that is being affected by this group’s disapproval of the government. One person who experienced profound changes in her life due to the start of this war is Mariatu Kamara, a victim of a Rebel attack that cost her both her childhood and her hands. Throughout her memoir, “The Bite of the Mango,” she is faced with numerous traumatic events and meets an abundance of people who were very significant in her life and some of whom helped her survive the war. Kamara also gives the reader a variety of themes to use as a foundation to understanding war life, which also serve to help readers learn more about life, grow as people, and rise above to help others in need. Mariatu Kamara has not only changed the lives of people all throughout Sierra Leone by giving them a voice and an outlet to share their experiences, but has also proved to be an inspiration for countless amputees around the world.

Client reported she does have family members here NYC. She has an uncle residing in the shelter systems. She doesn’t have any community resources. CM advises the client to enroll in ACE Job readiness program.

When most people of think of war, they generally think of the glorified aspects. Love and violence. Or perhaps their minds are drawn to an image of a soldier’s homecoming: A father embracing his son, crying tears of joy, all while the solider relays his experiences of the war among celebratory decorations. He is now considered a hero. But what difficulties has he faced to get there? This is the side of war that many of us don’t recognize. In the memoir, A Long Way Gone, author and protagonist, Ishmael Beah, experiences civil war and its effects first hand when he is forced into becoming a child soldier in the poor third world country of Sierra Leone. As the novel progresses, Ishmael becomes increasingly addicted to drugs,

During this time, Civilians were forced to leave the only place they knew as home. As Serbian police force Albanians out of their homes, Priština, Kosovo’s capital is being drained of its ethnic identity. One refugee being forced to move to the Macedonia border said, “Then at two o’clock we were in the train. So many people it was difficult to survive. Very difficult. I thought I saw death with my eyes” (BBC news). These series of events depict the issues and struggles Albanians endure during the Kosovo War. Albanians fear is being able to create a safety environment for their own families. A main concern as well was if these Albanian families will ever return to their homes. The war for ethnic cleansing in Kosovo was already in progress. Furthermore, Serbians would also be put in a difficult decision, whether to end the war within Kosovo or to endure inescapable NATO air strikes.

For genocide survivors, the agony does not end when the killing stops. The annihilation of families, communities, and the entire ways of life make it difficult for survivors to move on with life. My family and many other Cambodians, survivors of the Khmer Rouge regime, shared a history of survival, suffering, and loss. My grandparents and parents are not afraid to share their painful past with my brother and I. Typically, the question of how did I manage to survive comes up. For many Cambodians, 1975 to 1979 was a four-year journey to hell on earth. For the purpose of this assignment, I decided to interview my grandfather, who basically jump-started my family migration to the United States. My family was separated when my grandfather has to

Can you predict if it was the last day of your childhood and freedom? Lucia and her family couldn 't. Lucy Lipiner’s haunting memoir “Long Journey Home” documents when Nazis invade their homeland and forced them to flee away and find shelter. With limited options on where to go, their family stays together throughout the strenuous journey to find safety throughout Europe to America. This memoir tells in detail the mental and physical struggle to get to safety and freedom. Even when tumultuous events occur, you still have a chance to become resilient no matter what circumstances.
