(Crisis Counseling)
Crisis counseling provides immediate support and intervention for individuals experiencing overwhelming distress or trauma. Trained counselors offer a safe space for clients to express their emotions, thoughts, and concerns, helping them to navigate through crisis situations. The primary goal is to stabilize the individual’s emotional state and provide coping strategies to manage the immediate crisis. Crisis counselors employ active listening, empathy, and validation to establish rapport and trust with clients quickly. They assess the individual’s safety and connect them with appropriate resources such as hotlines, support groups, or mental health professionals if needed. Crisis counseling is typically short-term and focused on addressing the immediate needs of the individual, with an emphasis on empowering them to regain a sense of control and resilience. Follow-up support may be provided to ensure ongoing assistance and recovery.

Write a 500-750-word paper addressing the following: 1.How would you prioritize Jamila’s concerns in the counseling session? What would you address first?
2.What steps would you take in this session to make sure that Jamila has the resources she needs right now?
3.How would you help Jamila develop a plan to manage the current crisis?
