I’m working on a Psychology question and need guidance to help me study.

In responding to the case presented, implement the following:

  • Select one of the shooting incidents as a focus.
  • Research and investigate the selected tragedy.
  • Provide a synopsis of the situation’s key events and characteristics.
  • Outline your assessment and courses of action.
  • Describe a single-session intervention with a parent of a student, with a witness/survivor, or with a First Responder having difficulty with the event while on the scene.
  • Describe and outline long-term treatment goals, objectives, plan and expected outcome for the individual.
  • Describe your plan for debriefing co-workers and a plan for self-debriefing and self-care following the tragedy.

Include a minimum 7 to 8 pages, not including APA formatted required title and reference pages; submit APA style in-text citations throughout the work as well.

The basic parts of a paper should also be included; these are the opening, introduction section, with a precise thesis statement, the body of the paper with clear, discernable headings formatted to APA style levels of heading where appropriate, and a conclusion that restates the thesis and summarizes the major points of the entire paper.

The APUS Library provides APA formatting resources at Writing@APUS. You may also see Purdue’s OWL https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/for general APA formatting information and for formatting help on many topics.

All submissions are due by the end of Week 6, Sunday at 11:55 pm ET.
