Ethical and Legal Issues Working With Children, Families, Gr…

Assignment Overview

Students will read the required chapters for the week before responding to this discussion board. After the chapters have been reviewed, students will develop a 3-slide PowerPoint that highlights what they feel were the most important aspects of each chapter (1 slide per chapter). Content in the slide should be brief (bullet points or short sentences). The discussion board post will also include a 3-paragraph explanation of why the content was selected for each slide. Why was the information selected important to you? What were your key areas of learning for each chapter? What additional information or questions do you have about working with these specialty populations or in private practice?

Some of the specialty population I am interested in working in is with trauma, children/adolescents, families, military/veterans and private practice treating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and stress.
