Abstract
There is no indent on an abstract. An abstract is a paragraph that summarizes the most important parts of the entire paper. It briefly allows your reader to quickly obtain an overview of your writing. It is an accurate reflection of the purpose and content of the text written in clear and concise language within the limit of 150 to 250 words.
Research on Counselor and Client Safety
Include the title of your paper centered at the top of the page, not bolded; it is not considered a heading. This first section is your paper’s introduction. Note that it does not have a heading (Introduction); its position at the beginning of the body of the paper implies that it is the introduction. In the body of your paper, indent the first line of each paragraph. As always, use double spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, and 1.0 margins all around the page layout. For the purposes of this assignment, simply replace this text with a brief paragraph in your own words introducing the topic and informing the reader of the organization of the paper.
Research on Counselor Safety
Research and summarize at least two articles that address counselor safety. In Chapter 4 of your text (James & Gilliland, 2013, p. 90), personal safety is shown to be an ethical, legal and professional response in counseling practice. Provide an analysis on how you envision addressing your own safety as you work with clients.
Research on Client Safety
Research and summarizes at least two articles that address client safety. James and Gilliland (2013) made reference to client safety in Chapters 3, 4, and 6. Provide an analysis on how you envision addressing client safety in your work with clients. You can include strengths that you have that will support your work, as well are potential areas of challenge.
Key Elements of Risk
Summarize the key elements of potential risks to client and counselor safety. Describe the issues with an example of a specific crisis situation in relation to at least one key element. Key elements of risk are discussed throughout crisis assessment in your textbook, such as assessing for lethality, determining if mental instability is present, or if substance use is involved. Chapter 6 is particularly helpful in the assessment process of a telephone or distance counseling client or a severely disturbed caller.
Managing Risks
Evaluate the recommendations for managing risks identified in your research and discussed in the section above. Use a specific example of evidence-based practice to support the recommended risk management.
References
Cite your textbook and at least four scholarly articles in your paper. The reference below provides an example citation for an article.
