This week you will share your thoughts on the risk factors and warning signs of suicidal behavior and how this influences your understanding of suicide risk assessment. Here are some ideas for your post to get you started:
How might the risk factors and warning signs addressed in the chapter vary by culture? What do you think the chapter missed if anything?
What surprised you most after watching the videos on surviving suicide?
Critique the Kundla, Sommers-Flanagan, & Governors Statue University video on suicide assessment, stating what deeply resonates with you. Note the use of terms no longer used in the field. How do you think current terms developed and why is this shift important?

Substance use disorders are very common in our society, and you will likely work

Substance use disorders are very common in our society, and you will likely work with clients who have some type of substance use. This assignment will help you identify symptoms for diagnosing these disorders. Additionally, there is a significant amount of research that has been done on the treatment of substance use disorders and addictions. SAMHSA has used the research and developed treatment options and protocols. As a counselor, you will use these treatment protocols with your clients.

The second Riverbend City scenario shows the tensions between two adjacent neigh

The second Riverbend City scenario shows the tensions between two adjacent neighborhoods—one mostly Caucasian, and the other primarily Mexican American—vying for attention from city government for bottled water. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of applying specific theories or models to practice with these two groups.

Discuss how you deal with incongruence between your orientation and these two settings. Support your argument with at least three citations from the readings from this week, including reference to the NASW Standards for Cultural Competence in Social Work Practice.
