Applying Crisis Intervention Theories and Models

 How do I write 3 to 4 pages that:

• Describe a critical incident you have heard about in the news in the past year.  The critical incident being mass deportation in the State of CA.
• Using the Chaos Theory Model:
  • Describe the theory.
  • Justify why it is the best approach to your chosen crisis (mass deportation).
• Then, review the Crisis Intervention Models (James & Gilliland, 2017, p. 19-23). Explain which model you see as most appropriate in responding to your chosen critical incident.
• Review the Psychological First Aid model and apply all eight steps of the Psychological First Aid Model to the crisis you selected.
• Identify one characteristic and one competency you consider important for the Health Service Practitioner Professional in this critical incident response.
