Community Crisis Event
For this section, you will report on a crisis for an individual or community reported in the news (local, national, etc.). Personal experience and knowledge crises are not appropriate for this assignment. Research the very specific incident you choose and gather as much information as you can (this information will be used to justify the treatment plan you will formulate in the next section). Since this requires a new story and research, you will have sources cited and referenced in this section.
Examples of individual crisis incidents include rape, murder in which there is a reported witness, domestic violence, substance abuse related crimes, etc. Examples of community crisis incidents would include mass shooting, 9-1-1, bombings, natural disasters, etc.
You will have two (2) level II headings. Length: 1-1½ pages.
